Low-Carb Sick Foods Please? :D

Hope you feel better,,,tea with honey and lots of water would be my suggestion:flowerforyou:

i scanned through the last two weeks of your diary - please eat. You shouldn't have such a fear of carbs that it's preventing you from eating anything when you're sick. But beyond that, most of your diary entries range from 400-800 calories per day - total. Please eat.

Wow, yes.. Please eat!

I completely agree. You ate 148 calories Monday. That is starvation. This will ruin your metabolism and make weight loss near-impossible, especially since you have (according to your ticker) 325 pounds to lose.

micronutrient deficiencies aren't good. Eat fruit and vegetables.

Agreed. This is probably why you're sick. You need to give your body the tools (vitamins and minerals) to keep your immunity up and stay healthy. Otherwise, you become very vulnerable. One multivitamin a day is not enough to do this. I promise.

I am hoping you feel better soon. :flowerforyou:

Before I begin my post, I wanted to give you a little background on me.:bigsmile: In the last 2-3 months I have lost about 22 pounds, I generally don't eat sweets, or add sugar, and only occasionally breads, etc. I eat a TON of fresh fruit, veggies, etc and a reasonable amount of brown rice, oatmeal, whole real grains, etc. Meat-wise, I mostly eat chicken, turkey, minimal red meat, cheese, greek yogurt, and drink organic DHA 2% milk (no pork, large amounts of red meat, or regular milk as I have BAD reactions to them.:sick: ) I drink at least 64+ ounces of water a day:drinker: . I do struggle with getting up to my 1200 a day calories:grumble: , but I am learning to add healthy foods in that get me there, like nuts, avocado, etc:happy: . I am NOT even CLOSE to being a diet guru:glasses: , but I consider myself reasonably well informed, and straightforward. After reading your post I find myself concerned for your welfare:frown: .

You need to eat. It scares me to see those calories so low:frown: . I was a laboratory technician for years and seeing a lot of Ketones in urine samples was not considered such a good thing:sad: .

I found this review, perhaps if you would like to read it, it would give you an alternate understanding of what Ketosis can do.

I found this information very interesting in their conclusion.

"For those of you who still feel like you want to eat a very few servings of fruits and vegetables and almost no bread or pasta or pizza crust and like the idea of checking your urine for the presence of ketones just consider one more thing. The following activities would allow you to burn the maximum number of calories that ketosis could provide (up to 150 calories per day):
� stair walking for 15 minutes
� walking 2 miles in 30 minutes
� gardening for 30-45 minutes
� raking leaves for 30 minutes
� dancing (fast) for 30 minutes"

premade chicken broth, even in the box. maybe bake chicken breasts, cut if up, and let it soak in the broth on the burner for a few. veggie broth + cut up onions is good. wheat toast, or unsalted saltines. pedelight. apple sauce.

find what you can keep down and eat that.

and just an FYI, low carb diets have shown no metabolic advantage over a higher carb diet, so no reason you can't enjoy carbs and still cut weight

I am hoping you feel better soon. :flowerforyou:

Why come into a thread that specifically says "Low carb" in the title just to say the OP should eat more carbs?

Hi , 1st I hope you are feeling better. I eat yogurt when I have an upset . it will coat the tummy and help get rid of bad bacteria.

I normally eat toast with marmite on when I am sick... However, trying to rack my brains for low carb foods (They are a large part of my diet, one I was recently thinking of cutting down on until I read this thread)

Yoghurt, Salad, Berries, chicken, fish...

I'd recommend pure orange juice for some much needed vit C too.
