Does illness effect your diet?

Ok, so I just changed my diet about a week ago. The day after I changed it, I got sick. I've lost 2lbs. in the past week but I changed it so I would lose 1 pound a week. Is it because I'm sick? I'm still eating regularly, haven't really skipped any meals and my calorie intake hasn't gone down due to this cold thing I have.
I was just wondering if my diet was actually working or if it was because I have a cold.

A cold shouldn't affect it much, if you are eating regularily , its probably your new diet working!!0
