I'm sick, not eating my calorie intake.

Hello. I'm just losing appetite from loss of tastebuds due to the common cold. Will this effect my weight loss cycle? :( Anyone please?

    You are sick. Worry about weight loss when you are well. Worry about getting better when you are sick.

    Nah it's fine. I got a stomach bug at some point and lost 3 lbs in 2 days but that didn't affect anything at all.

    I've been damn sick for several days and just starting to get better.

    I said 'eff it' to everything else and ate as much protein as I could without feeling barfenacious. Some days it wasn't very much.

    Sounds normal to me... will probably notice bigger weight loss number...but once you get back to normal cycle that number may jump up just a wee bit...

    Take care of you...

    If you lose your appetite, your body is telling you that it's not hungry. Sometimes it just needs a rest from everything.
  • same boat here.. starting to feel sick and not really hungry. Feel better!!!! we'll get back on track after we get better!

    Some say yes, some say no? Lol..
    Yet I'm still at gym sweating my butt off.
    Thank you all for the get well soon greeting!
    I hope you all get better too.
    It kinda helped my body sweating everything out, but no appetite yet.
    Tried to eat fattening foods though to make it up.
    Just one day lol

    All that matters is that you need to take care of yourself while sick. Even with no taste buds, you need to eat. Soup is always good when you have a cold. Drink plenty of water. You will know you are better when your taste buds start sparking again. :smile:
