kelsola Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 This is my second W30, I am currently on day 17. Things were going great, I am trying really hard to do everything right this time around. I even do crossfit now and was so excited to have my energy burst and strength benefit from all this great food, but my husband passed on a vicious cold to me. I haven't been to the gym in a week and I CANNOT shake it no matter what I do. I never get sick! I am drinking bone broth every day, even before I got sick. Now I am drinking lemon water (lots of it), trying to rest and this thing is relentless. I had to work today and was so desperate I packed a couple cough candies just in case I couldn't take it anymore (which would have ruined my w30)...I didn't have to use them, but I need help with some advice! What are some w30 cold remedies I am not doing? I want to be healthy so I can have all of the w30 benefits! I'm sad It's been almost 1 week of this...I am so desperate to work out I thought about going anyway today even though my head feels like it's doubled in size...cuz I'm crazy...

piupiu Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I completely sympathise kelsola as I'm suffering with the same thing. I've had a cold and blocked sinuses since day 3 of my whole 30 and now I'm on day 21! I thought it would disappear extra fast because I am taking in all these additional nutrients but it just won't go away and I feel like crap. If I am getting any tiger blood it us being completely overwhelmed by the intense tiredness and achey-ness I'm feeling all the time from this cold. And I'm never usually ill either :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristina Wright Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I make chicken soup with plenty of garlic, almost exactly to the recipe posted above. I also crave very salty mashed potatoes when I'm sick. Not sure why that is, but I make them whipped with a hand mixer just like my mom does, sans dairy. I also drink orange juice, even though it's not preferred on a Whole30. That's probably mostly comfort and a bit of the placebo effect, but if my worst offense on a Whole30 is drinking orange juice when I have a cold, I'm pretty sure I'm doing okay.
