CR and weight loss due to illness

[Guest guest]

I had a bout of what I believe was food poisoning yesterday. I haven't eaten for over 36 hours. What worries me when I get sick (which is rare, thank goodness, since I began CRON) is additional weight loss. I put this to the group a few months ago and it was Tim Tyler I believe who pointed out that this was one of the drawbacks of CR (i.e. no fat reserves at all). I'm not that thin (5'4 " , 110 lbs) but don't feel that I can afford to safely lose much more weight. Hopefully my appetite will return and I'll regain what I lost, but, what worries me is if one should get really sick and not have much appetite for, say, a few weeks.
