I woke up this morning with a head cold and I am really bummed because I normally gain weight back when I am sick. I finally reached 20 pounds gone and I want to try to keep it off during this time. Any advise? It's already hard dieting during the holiday seasons but how do you deal with cold/flu season?

    Whenever I'm sick with the flu, I practically live off chicken broth and plenty of water to stay hydrated. Swanson makes some really good ones that are healthy. If you're just dealing with a head cold, you can add in chicken and any veggies you want for easy chicken soup, that always makes me feel better (much healthier than canned soup too). Feel better soon!
