Maintaining weight loss with a cold
I've always had difficulty maintaining weight loss while suffering from a cold. When I catch a cold, I feel weak, so I exercise less (if at all) and eat more ("feed a cold, starve a fever"). And then, perhaps a week later, when the cold is gone, I've got to deal with the pounds (kilos) that I've picked up, and "re-break" the old habits that led to the weight gain in the first place. Has anyone discovered good ways of dealing with this problem?

From what I know most people don't feel as hungry when they aren't well...have you tried different soup to fill you up
I wish we could eat our way out of every sickness...that would be fun

Yep. Next time you get a cold don't do what you said you do when you normally get a cold. Simple, huh?

Make sure when you're sick that you avoid carbs, and try to make a bone broth to eat. (not the yucky canned soup, but REAL soup made from bones)

So, keep exercising through the cold?

I would, unless you're getting dizzy. Just listen to your body.

Okay. That goes against what my parents taught me (stay in bed, get rest), but I'll give it a try.

I would too, unless you're just too tired or wore out.

During the cold just eat low carb and make sure to take a good multi vitamin and maybe some extra vitamin C...and sucking on zinc lozenges has been proven to lessen the severity of and shorten the duration of colds. ;)

First question should be... WHY would a Christians have a cold???
Jesus overcame colds and purchased deliverance for colds for us... so this should be a none issue.
Of course one would need to grow in this, but we start by accepting God's Word on the subject of health and healing.
Christians are not sick trying to get healed... no, we are healed and the enemy is trying to put something on us that Jesus already paid for so it's illegal for the devil to make us sick.
I recommend kicking him out which can only be done by submitting oneself to the Lord and resisting the devil.
Submitting to the Lord is submitting to His Word... thru these precious promises we partake of His divine nature and He don't get sick!
I know, I know... nobody wants to hear about the health / healing thing.
