There are different strains of flus. Some seem to be more mild than others. I believe in some cases of flus, you can't keep food down. You can't eat for 2-3 days...only sip on liquids.
Also you will get some incredible body aches and body chills, much more than you do in a cold. I had a really bad flu last year and I couldn't get out of bed for the first day. Going to the restroom or kitchen was a big chore.

If you are experiencing a fever AND body aches then it is the flu. Usually a cold does not produce and fever or body aches.
