i have went through a week long stomach bug the only thing that i could hold down believe it or not was mcdonalds chicken nuggets for 6 days! dont know why but hat was the only thing i could eat and i hate mcdonalds! so i went to the gym on my regular schedule and ate a shit load of nuggets!

dr. pepper recent studies show that vitamin c does nothing for cold or flu even in extremely high doses.

Vitimin C can reduce the severity of cold symptoms, acting as a natural antihistamine. By giving the immune system one of the important nutrients it needs, extra vitamin C can often shorten the duration of the cold as well. I have taken it everyday for the past two years and never been sick so far, speaking from personal experience not any studies...

If its early days into the cycle i'd stop it all and try and get over it but half way through a cycle id take time off the gym for a week and then see how thing go, sucks being ill during a cycle

I was my biggest enemy when i was competing in sports through my teens, i would train even though i was sick. I remember once training when i had food poisoning. :/

My advice would be to keep hydrated and rest as much as possible. Eat as well as you can, if its certain food that you crave then eat them. I would not train unless i was 70% fit, training when sick can cause injury and prolond the sickness (does to me anyway). PLUS people in the gym dont want your germs, i get pissed when people are coughing and sneezing all over the show.

Hope you feel better
