Eating is slowing down the detox, this is why you feel better... I think you feel bad, because through a cold the body tries to detox and with fasting you detox more.

I have learned from sad experience that I should *not* fast when I have a cold, because it makes me sicker than I was before. Your mileage may vary, but I do not recommend fasting when you have health problems, unless cleared by a doctor. I do a 24-hour fast once a month or so for religious reasons.

I took a different route when I started to feel sick and it lasted about 24 hrs. I just took it easy for an entire day without medication (did have a couple of brandy/honey/hot water pick-me ups though) and waited to do an IF till the next day. A week later, I'm still tired and stressed with work stuff but don't have a cold or the flu...I agree with your statement at the end of the post, R&R could be the supplement required for IF effectiveness.
