Somehow I managed to get sick with the flu over the weekend, and now I barely have enough strength to post, let alone lift or do cardio... what do you guys do when you are very sick... what should I eat?

I have it too. Haven't had much appetite but I'm still eating clean. I think my body will be happier next week with the break from the workouts!

I don't excercise when I've got the flu. I had a friend in college who told me a trick to beat the flu. I've used it everytime and it works everytime -- I don't know why.

When you first start feeling the flu (or a bad cold) coming on, drink an entire gallon of orange juice in 12 hours. It is important to do this at the very beginning of the sickness, and important to do it quickly, within 12 hours. I usually dilute the OJ with another gallon of water, so I end up drinking 2 gallons of liquid in the 12 hours. I pee like a racehorse, but it always works, I feel better the next day, and on the third day, I'm back to regular strength.
