    I am SICK as a DOG right now with the flu...and I have done everything according to protocol (P2D13) today but I still feel like crud and it has killed me to drink only water (resulting in me barely drinking anything all day) and to eat cold veggies and fruits when all I really want is a big glass of OJ or ice cold Sprite & a pan of brownies...or just a freaking bowl of chicken noodle soup. I am running a fever and tried to pretend a bowl of half frozen strawberries was a popsicle for dinner but being sick on this diet is probably my biggest hang-up with it yet.

    I do have a can of Swanson 100% Natural Chicken Broth that is 99% fat free & has no added MSG to it....per cup it contains 10 calories and 1/2 gram of fat per cup & it says it has 1 carb & 1 gram of sugar...with ingredients listed as :"chicken stock, contains less than 2% of sea salt, sugar, natural flavoring, dehydrated onions, yeast extract, chicken fat, carrots, celery & onions.

    Is it safe or will it throw me back like 2 pounds to just have a stinking bowl of broth when I feel like crud?

    If you can't make your own (and sick as you are, you probably don't want to) then try Swanson's 100% fat free low sodium broth. I cook with this all the time and in just about everything.

    I found that Pacific brand's Oraganic is just broth, water and sea salt. If you had some miracle noodles and chicken, you could make a soup...
    I hope you feel better. I thought I was getting sick earlier this week and that's all I wanted too...turns out it was just an allergy attack.

    Okay, I will see if my husband can swing by the store and pick up the fat free low sodium broth instead. No miracle noodles...and I don't think we have the Pacific brand out here in my neck of the woods.

    I thought I was having a bad allergy day yesterday but it got progressively worse and now here I am aching and hot and sad that I can't have my vitamins or comfort foods/drinks as a slave to this diet right now, & am now WISHING it was just bad allergies. But it shall pass soon enough, right?

    Thanks for the help, guys!

    4Emeralds,

    If you gain it's from being sick.

    I was sick for 3 days
    with a really bad cold
    at the beginning of P3
    I'm on Day 17 of a very stable P3 now
    (since being ill)

    I did not weigh myself for 3 days
    and ate what my hubby brought me

    I freaked when I saw that I gained 7 lbs!
    However, I was told, here on the forum,
    that when our body gets sick
    it gets inflammation, thus weight gain
    After 6 days of constant loss I was back at my LIW.

    Enjoy your broth. I loved mine when I was ill.

    Donna
