The COVID diet, kids don't try this at home!!! Fever, sweats, no appetite, can't taste or stomach food, lots of water, no exercise other than trotting to the bathroom very frequently, lots of sleeping. Hubby went to town yesterday to go to Walgreens drive thru pharmacy for more tylenol. He went thru Dairy Queens drive thru and brought me a chocolate shake, it was nice and cold, I could taste the sweet but not the chocolate....it ran right through me. Probably kicked me out of ketosis but I don't care ATM. I probably needed something. I can smell and the smell of cooking meat makes me nauseous. Feeling more alert today, no fever spike since 3 yesterday. I think I am on the mend!

Glad you're getting better. Bummer about losing taste. I hated that. Fortunately for me, the loss of taste and smell lasted only 2 days. I missed smell the most. I missed smelling my husband's skin, of all things.

I did a 10 hour daytime sleepathon yesterday, no fever but I was so tired. I made myself eat some roast that I tossed in the crockpot Thursday night and after eating it, I conked out. It did stay down, nausea from smells is gone. I'm drinking coffee right now and it almost tastes like coffee LOL! Hubby is getting dressed to go outside and mow, gonna try drinking my AG1 and having some scrambled eggs, maybe if I start acting normal I'll start feeling normal

I'm so glad that you're feeling better & better!!! 😊 I agree... try to get back to normal, but at the same time listen to your body. If it tells you to nap or whatever, do it. 💜

So sorry you got sick, glad you are doing better. Get well soon. Covid sucks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Get well! ❤️ When you're that sick, sticking to a specific eating pattern should be the last thing on your mind. Sometimes it's just about getting whatever food your system can tolerate

Well, that's an extreme approach to losing weight. Please be healthy soon.

I think most of that 5 lbs were 💩 & 🤢 and the inability to replace the food cleared out. It was not on purpose, even tho Thursday and Friday were my scheduled fasting days. I had also planned for tomorrow evening to begin my monthly 6.5 day fast, but I am going to call this week of being ill enough and focus on recovering with good nutritious food. My appetite has not returned, but I'm going to eat what I can tolerate. Hubby had no digestive upset with his case of COVID, he had chills, very low fever, fatigue and a slight cough. He's been up and around pretty good for the last two days taking care of the critters and me 😍

When I had Covid, I didn't lose my sense of taste or smell but they were definitely altered! Some things would taste amazing and some things would taste bland or have no taste at all! Hope you feel better soon!

I was fortunate, I had it for the first time (only time) about 6 months ago. Had cold symptoms for 24 hours and that was it. Thank goodness for the vaccine. New variant is here and may present new issues as the fall approaches.

I was fortunate to have a mild case, which I think is due to having taken the vaccine. Slept for 2 days and layed around for 3 more. I've had colds that made me feel worse. Took awhile to get stamina back.

Covid nearly killed me despite being vaccinated. If I was not morbidly obese, it probably would have been a milder event.
