Plateau Buster Diet Questions

Hey all you experts out there, I was wondering if you could enlighten me on the Plateau Buster Diet.  Doris posted it for me last night and I'm looking at it, thinking if this might kick me out of my stall I have found myself in.  It's so depressing and I wonder if I'll ever kick out of it, I need to do something quick! What can you eat along with the items on the list?  3 oz of peanut butter, on what?  Beans/legumes all by themselves, cooked how?  3oz of meat, plain or how do I cook that? Any of you that have done this, how do you realistically do this for 2 weeks and stick to it?  Any suggestions, please!!!! Melissa in IL ******************************** Plateau Buster Diet

Have you tried or heard of the 5 day pouch test? I havent tried the plateau buster diet yet but I have done the 5DPT twice. Last time I lost 7 pounds.  It's not for everyone but it works for me. Heres a link to it. http://www.5daypouchtest.com/index.html

My heaven's! What is the Five-Day Pouch Test? I have never heard of it.  I am very interested. Thanks

the 5 day pouch test: Here are some basics and you canread more here http://www.5daypouchtest.com/index.html Some people call this extreme Others swear by it and do it often. I have done it twice and have lost weight both times. It's a back to basics approach. They have an online forum much like this one where the support is excellant for those doing the 5DPT and those who just need advice/support.

The 5 Day Pouch Test should never leave you feeling hungry. You can eat as much of the prescribed menu as you want during the day to satiate hungry and prevent snacking on slider foods and/or white carbs. You must drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day. A reduction of caffeinated beverages is suggested, but do not stop caffeine cold turkey.

Weight loss is not the intent of the 5 Day Pouch Test, however, many who have tried this plan report a significant drop in weight. More importantly they celebrate a renewed sense of control over their pouch and eating habits and easily transition back to a healthy post-surgical weight loss way of eating.
