I just come off a high fever + sickness. Lost 3kg over 5 days. Probably most of it was water weight but I couldnt stomach anything. Was lucky to eat 2500 kj of solid foods over the 5 days, rest was just powerade. Needlessly to say, while I was sick I pretty much overcome caffeine and sugar withdrawals, so time to start my cut now.
The best thing you can put into your body at that time (and other times) would be a homemade natural yogurt that has been incubated for no less than 24 hours, with these live bacteria cultures included:
Lactobacillus bulgaricus Streptococcus thermophiles
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lactobacillus casei
Bifidobacterium bifidum (aka) B. bifidum
You're going to need to invest in an electric incubator that allows for a constant temperature of 46 degrees Celsius, since the bacteria I've mentioned above are heat loving bacteria, i.e, they thrive/multiply well at that said temperature of 46.
Don't forget to feed your probiotics above with what they love to eat, some prebiotics.
Top 10 Foods Containing Prebiotics
Raw Chicory root: 64.6% prebiotic fibre by weight
Raw Jerusalem artichoke: 31.5% prebiotics by weight
(NOTE: Jerusalem artichoke is NOT the green globe artichoke you see at the store. It’s a totally different plant.)
Raw Dandelion greens: 24.3% prebiotic fibre by weight
Raw Garlic: 17.5% prebiotics by weight
Raw Leek: 11.7% prebiotic fibre by weight
Raw Onion: 8.6% prebiotics by weight
Cooked Onion: 5% prebiotic fibre by weight
Raw Asparagus: 5% prebiotics by weight
Raw Wheat bran: 5% prebiotic fibre by weight
Wheat flour, baked: 4.8% prebiotics by weight
Raw Banana: 1% prebiotic fibre by weight.
I think the easiest and most practical food from the above list would be a small banana. The above list is by no means an exhaustive list of prebiotics.
