I just got over a cold in absolutely record time (two days and let me say it was a dilly while I had it!). When I'm sick I always eat a lot, and I've found the few times I've been sick since starting Atkins I do the very same thing. I think the more a person eats when they're sick, the more fuel you give your body to fight off the ailment. I don't worry about counting carbs or calories, only to make sure, like I said, that it's LC foods and not junk.

I am going to have to remember that bacon cure-all, LOL.
