MF when sick...

Question? Is it ok to continue on my MF when I have a virus? Are extra calories needed to get better or was my mother lying to me when she made me eat when I was sick?

Hey there BSmith --- so sorry you are feeling lousy.

The Quick Start Handbook says if you become ill (such as the cold or flu)

--you can stay on Medifast provided your symptoms are not too severe.
--Taking antibiotics won't harm your MF plan (but could slow your loss)
--Aspirin, Tylenol and Ibuprofen can be used when necessary. (But try not to use for too long as they can cause you stomach problems when on MF)

So shake away and get better soon! Use lots of the chicken soup.

Hope this helps!
