I am having a hard time eating so i am not meeting my daily dietary goals, and it has a negative affect on my workouts.

On the other hand, I have found that working out with a cold/flu can be advantageous. Weight loss seems to be accelerated especially if you have a fever since your metabolism is in high gear to fight he infection. Also i think workingout seems to help speed up your recoery. Granted my workouts were usually not as good as a healthy workout but anything helps.

The most i ever lost was in college, i had a bad case of the flu, for 3 days all i did was sleep and go to the gym. I lived on orange juice and Nyquil and lost 14 pounds in those 3 days. I dont recommend that anyone should try this.

Hey, Joe and all others with sore throats, I use Chloraseptic (generic store brand) and douse my throat whenever a sore throat just starts. I keep this up until it goes away. I have seen many times when I am sure this has prevented a bad cold or worse. (NT) -- Daddy Bill, 11:06:19 09/09/02 Mon
- I have been using Listerine but no luck this time. I actually may call the Dr to see if it is Tonsilitis (NT) -- Joe, 11:11:34 09/09/02 Mon
  - While I use it every day, I've never had any success with Listerine as a sore throat or cold/flu preventer. Only the ingrediants in Chloraseptic (and its gereric brands) seems to do that. (NT) -- Daddy Bill, 20:12:22 09/10/02 Tue
    - Thanks Bill, I will remember that next time (NT) -- Joe, 04:16:24 09/12/02 Thu
