For the last 2 days I have been feeling sick, specifically experiencing "the runs" to be polite.

It was HOT here, and I think I spent too much time outside. I drank tons of water, but that evening I really felt aweful and in and out of the bathroom. I just did not feel like eating anything, and ate about 1/4 of the protein, and forced myself to eat a salad. And by 8:00 I had some pudding, and by 9:00 I went to bed, nursing a headache and a tummy ache.

Took some meds today, and I am feels a little better, but I still feel like I don't want to eat.

So I am wondering what one does when got they don't feel good. Does a person try to eat, or not? What happens if less food than is required is actually eaten?

Sorry you feel yucky!!
Make sure you are getting all of your sea salt plus maybe a little extra. Spread out your food through the whole day don't force yourself to eat. Basically munch a little veggies, little protein. Try very hard to get 3 IP packs, 8oz protein, and 4 cups select veggies, drop the extra lettuce for a short time until your system is back on track. Good Luck!

I'm with redhead14 on this one, make sure you're getting the salt you need.

Great advice. Thanks. I will try more salt and less lettuce for a couple days. I have WI Monday, so I can check with my coach too.

You mention you were outside a lot in really HOT weather. Is it possible you had a mild case of heat stroke? By Day 3 of the heat wave experienced in my area last week, I was feeling much like you described. Minus the 'runs'. (which is another symptom of heat stroke). I pretty much just drank cold protein shakes that day, and nibbled on veggies throughout the day with cold dip. A thunder storm came by the evening of that 3rd day, and by the next day I was back to normal.
