I am sick so I can't workout, what can I do to still lose weight and get better?

[Anonymous]

I been working out and I'm so close to my goal weight, but this week Ihot sick. I don't know what it is, but I think I have a pelvic infection base on my symptoms. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to make sure and get a check up but main time, how can I still lose weight or maintain my weight and get better at the same time?

Don't worry about it. Eat clean and do what you can. You're sick so don't push your limits. It can get you even sicker if you don't watch out. That's what happened to me when I was sick for about 3 months and it got me sicker for about 1-2 months more.

Don't stress. I think that's one thing that can make people lose or gain weight. Also if you can, take walks. It doesn't seem like a hardcore workout, but it is still getting up and moving around.

usually I loose weight when I am sick... why do you think it will make you gain weight, just keep eating healthy and do as much activity as you can handle..

Maintain a steady diet of fruits, vegetables, dairy and protein with reduced carbs. Also, natural immune system boosters (such as food rich in vitamin C) could help you heal faster. If you have a treadmill in the home and you feel up to it, you could do a light walk.

If none of that sounds good to you, eat what you need, lick postage stamps (each stamp you lick burns two calories) and sleep (you do burn some calories when you sleep).

Just don't eat much while you're inactive. Set a calorie quota and stick to it! You don't need many calories while you're inactive.
