I have been on a keto diet for about a week and a half and Monday I came down with a bad cold. So my question is, do I need more carbs to heal quicker or will it matter. Common sense would tell me to increase the carbs and resume the diet when I am well. Any docs or med students out there that can help??

My personal experience is that if you get a cold while on a Keto diet, you won't get over it until you resume a more balanced diet. I am a big fan of the ketogenic diets, but they really wear down your resistance and immune system. | ||

I would for sure, especially in the form of liquids, preferably juice and things of that nature with vitamins and stuff in them, you always here drink plenty of fluids when you are sick. I don't think increasing them by eating more starches and stuff is what you need. ------------------  | ||

It will take a while to get back into the rythm if you start suckin down the carbs. It will mess up your digestion/energy levels for a good 4 to 5 days. | ||

I know Omega, I could probably make it through it but it is a VERY bad cold (maybe the flu) and I am absolutely miserable. So my immediate concern is to get well and then diet like a mofo. | ||
