Last night, I got SCAMMED!!..
And woke up sounding like Michael Caine.
Pretty sure someone broke into my house last night..
.and robbed me of my ability to go 5 minutes without coughing.
Okay, elaborate way of saying I’m sick.
But this next bit might ruffle feathers, especially if your goal is weight loss.
When you’re ill, don’t force a big calorie deficit.
That fever you’ve got?
Your body is literally burning calories to create that heat to fight the virus off.
No fuel in, longer to recover.
So pause the fat loss phase.
Eat at just above maintenance, still keep protein high and drink your water like it’s your job.
You know the old saying: “feed a cold, starve a fever?”
They got it right.
Feed/fuel the cold to prevent the fever.
