Anyone have any suggestions what to do on days where you cannot bring yourself to eat? I had a migraine yesterday and could not stomach anything. I tried the drinks, but didn't get all my packets in, not to mention my protein and veggies..... Doing better today, so back OP today.

We do our best. Sometimes we are sick and recovery from illness comes first. This is always a good discussion to have with your coach ahead-of-time.
Chicken broth is helpful & having some veggies pureed in might work.
I get migraines also & have since childhood. I understand that some days you just can't eat. Some of the packets work better for me than others when I'm feeling bad. For some reason, the orange drink goes down pretty well.
Again, we just do our best and take care of ourselves the best we can.

I hear you! We're feeling so much better we REALLY want to get started!
Like Scorbett said, heavy exercise can actually slow the scale.
But if you want to add a walk or a bike ride or some yoga, something gentle, I HEAR YOU on wanting to feel better and we really DO feel better when our bodies move.
IP really isn't the time to start strenuous workout routines or train for races, etc without consulting with your coach.
As long as you're feeling good in Ketosis (which you are by now), just add that extra unrestricted (I tend to go for the lowest carb/calorie ones like the orange drink or the pink lemonade or some syntrax nectar). My exercise is Physical Therapy for my back, which has been healing quicker than I thought it would!
The trade-off is that the scale may slow a tad. Muscle weighs more than fat, remember!
