Question

What do you all do when you are sick? I have no appetite, my throat hurts to swallow which makes it hard to eat more because it hurts, I’m stuffy and congested. I know to eat the sheet it just hurts to eat which makes me not want anything . help please. I only really want liquids at this point which is not protocol

Answer 1

I am no coach. However. I would just do the shakes. I agree with @bing759 drink lots of water. Use the shakes/ drinks. I wouldn't worry too much about sticking to the exact program. At least I haven't these past few days. I've not had all my veggies in. I just found out I have strep. So I'm just going to get better and then focus again in a day when hopefully I'm feeling better. I hope you feel better soon.

Answer 4

I am no coach, but even if not on a diet and sick, just liquids to let the body heal is good. I don't think this is different. Lots of water, warm lemon water, ginger tea, (use only appropriate sweeteners) AND HOMEMADE CHICKEN STOCK, best cure all! You can puree steamed veggies into it. Vanilla chai pack hot, chocolate shake, for protein. I also like the yogurt berry drink pack. But seriously, real chicken stock.

Thanks everyone

Answer 6

Drink the gelatin warm

Answer 7

Just do the drinks hot & cold. Jello. Don't worry too much about the sheet per se. You'll probably not be able to eat it all.

If you can tolerate liquids, then stick to those. After I vomited 2 of my ready to serve drinks, I stopped having the packets ( too expensive to "throw away') I tried jello made with the branch aminos

Answer 11

Drink the gelatin warm, the chocolate drink mix warm and have some bone broth and just take care of yourself
