I know that the answer is probably to ask my doctor but it's crazy-o-clock right now and i'm curious.
I've had flu and had no appetite for a week and i've now ended up with acute bronchitis for which i will be taking antibiotics, i also have an upset tummy.
Is it a good idea to diet while ill? Should i up my calorie intake or just make sure i'm still getting lots of fluids and plenty of vitamins and minerals but continue the diet?
All in all i don't feel too bad, a little light headed due to reduced oxygen intake, i'm coughing and my appetite still isn't 100% but i feel reasonably well compared with last week.
