<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

So I decided to lose some weight and started eating healthily and going to the gym last week. It's actually going really well, I've been feeling great! But this morning I have woken up with an incredibly sore throat, from past experience it feels like a throat infection and if so isn't going to go away in a day.

How do you diet while sick? Normally I would just eat whatever seemed throat friendly and lots of throat sweets but I've cut down hugely on sugar so I'm not sure what the alternatives are. The things I've been eating like salads, veggies, eggs, meat etc feel like they wouldn't go down easily. I've been feeling so motivated, I don't want to give up so soon. And should I go to the gym? I don't know how much I should be pushing myself, I don't want to make things worse.
<bot>: I'm a week into a healthy low sugar diet and I have a throat infection. What do I eat? Do I stick with the diet? Do I go to the gym? What are the rules?
