If you have been restricting so far and are down with a cold. Here are some life saving tips. Before you give up and reach for the throat soothing fatty soups try some of these tips before indulging and ruining your diet.
Step #1
Take Vitamin C pills. Make sure to get 1000mg per day atleast. This is more than the recommended daily dosage but if you have a cold you need it.
Step#2
Dont go for the fatty soups, reach for the lipton 50 calorie soups.
Step#3
Do crunches and backward lunges at home, since you cannot go to the gym with a cold.
Step#4
Get as much rest as possible

Should I loose weight first or build muscle first?
If you are overweight or obese then you should absolutely not even begin with exercising. If you build muscle underneath all that fat then it will make you look uglier and bigger. If you do cardio at this time, it would be bad for your heart, which has to pump for the extra weight plus the exercise, this can lead to heart issues later on. For the first 6months loose the excess weight for the first 6 months by purely dieting. That is how I lost my weight, restricting my diet. I did not take diet pills, although it would have been a faster process. I have currently reached a plateau between 135-140. My weight loss goal was to be at 120. So I still have a long way to go. I'm excited. Once I reach my goal weight of 120, I will start exercising to maintain my weight.

Liquids
Grocery list for liquid diet (winter diet tips)
To take advantage of this list, take it with you each time
you go shopping. It’s a method for not consuming too much solids and to prevent
any slip ups throughout the month. Expect to lose .5 pound a day. While going
to school, prepare rice (congee) in a coffee mug and actual coffee in another
mug with cream and sugar (or smoothies like lassi or anything fruity). And ofcourse
water in a bottle. Here you have breakfast and lunch. Sometimes instead of
congee for lunch, take a lipton soup mix (or with pureed vegetalbes). Yumm
salty. There goes salt cravings. During menstrual cycles, take iron rich soups like
spinach soup or breakfast essentials in your coffee mug. Always carry water.
Don’t think about what people might think of you.
If you are at an event with lots
of food, load up on vegetables and only the curries of set dishes. NO PIECES.
If someone offers food, tell them u already ate, not hungry. They need it more
than you. Do not visit sites. Forget that they exist and only think of
school work. Its more important. If for some reason you feel extra tired and
weak, then eat. But it should be a final resort.
If hair is
falling out, eat 3 proper meals for two days, then continue back to the diet.
LIST:
Lipton soup mix
English tea
Breakfast essentials
Fruit Smoothie mix
Frozen veggies for pureeing
Lift and fit yogurt
Soda (with real sugar) for all nighters only
Milk
Juices
Peanutbutter/ Nutella
Cauliflower for soup
