I came down with a sore throat Sunday, about noon, so I am suspending my
diet. I think this is my first illness in the last 21 months, as far as I
can recall. I'm not sure exactly how many calories will be break even. I'm
going to try for about 2000 per day for a week. (I'm usually getting 1200
to 1400.) If I gain a pound, it is no big deal. I know how to take it back
off.

My temp is only 99.1, but then my temperature is usually a bit subnormal. I
assume I run subnormal because of the long term calorie restriction.

Add Bioflavenoids to boost the C and Colloidal or Ionic silver if you

I'm already a good deal better. ;-)

Wishing you a quick recovery!

Or subnormal could just be your normal. 98.6 is just an average normal, it
varies a bit among individuala.

No need to suspend the diet.

My sister and her two kids have moved in with me until she can get a
place of her own. She has a 13 year old son. The day after they moved
in he started with a sore throat. I started him on 2000 mg of vitamin
C, four times a day. She was a little concerned about the amounts I was
giving him and she was telling me how he often gets these sore throats
that he can't shake. Sometimes they last up to a couple of months, even
with multiple anti-biotic prescriptions under the care of their doctor.
Afer day four of the vitamin C regimen, his sore throat was gone. No
signs of a cold or flu. I think she finally understands what I mean
when I talk about taking vitamins and eating real fresh whole food.

A great tasting and extremely healthy low-carb meal is a simple home
made chicken soup.

This is Acadian Fricot, a simple Acadian chicken soup.

One whole chicken cut up
two onions quartered
2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon savory
6 to 8 cups water

bring to boil, skim it, then simmer for about 45 minutes

Strain broth, debone and break up chicken to bite size pieces

add chicken to broth, add 2 small potatoes cubed, 2 carrots cut to bite
size, add another teaspoon savory, adjust seasoning to taste, simmer
til veggies done.

So good and so healthy and reasonable low-carb.

Why not just cut the potato and make it more LC? Or replace it with turnip
or rutabaga?

I have a sore throat --they hurt. I am tired and nothing is helping the
pain. I have never had strep, but a good friend and her daughter has it(they
were at my house last week), I might need to get checked for it.

I am glad you are feeling better.

Get well, soon. Drink lots of fluids and try to get some sleep.

Hey brainiac, I think we know that by now. The soup is fine on the
maintenance phase of any low-carb diet. Unless you are one of those
idiotic fanatics who insist on avoiding *all* carb foods forever, even
healthy fresh nutrient-dense wholefoods.

Aren't recipes and common sense great? You can do what you want with
the recipes and you can apply common sense to it at the same time. A
little bit of potato as part of a filling healthy soup ain't gonna
bring your diet to a complete screeching halt. I've been low-carbing
for 7 years now and I eat this soup on a semi-regular basis. It does
not cause me any problems, weight wise, and it tastes great. And the
bone broth makes it sooooo healthy.

Gargle with salt water.
It helps to kill opportunisic bacteria that can infect the throat during
a viral infection.

I also cheat a bit and take LOTS of ibuprofen, but only with food.
That helps to protect the stomach better.

HA! Whenever my daughter - who is now 14 - would start to get a sore throat
I'd always have her gargle with salt water. She of course always hated it,
although I don't know what the big deal is...anyway, a couple of weeks ago
she had a sore throat that wouldn't go away, and when she got a headache
with it, she had to go to the doctor. Doctor told her, "It's a virus,
antibiotics won't help, gargle with salt water."

When she got home, my daughter told me she was amazed that I actually knew
what I was talking about all these years.

<giggles>
I did learn about the salt water gargle from my family doc.
I must confess...... ;-)
