How'd everyone do with the 5 day test?
Hi everyone!
I was just wondering how everyone did that tried out the 5 day pouch test do? How much weight did you lose? Was it worth it? Are you still losing?
I keep trying to talk myself into trying this I am sooo tied of being stuck at this weight!! Its driving me !!!!! I have been reading up on it and trying to talk myself into trying it! Did everyone make it the whole 5 days without messing up???
I just finished my five day test, and I have lost around five pounds so far (which is the amount that I have gained lately) and I think that I have gotten some of my night eating issues under control. It was an interesting thing to do, limiting choices and sticking to it. It has been a good reminder that I need to limit choices, just because I can eat it doesn't mean that I should...
Hi Karen
I found it really helpful in a few ways. I lost some weight (but put it back on again) and the carb cravings have nwo come back and I'm back to my old bad ways.
BUT...what it taught me is that I HAVE CONTROL IF I chose to exercise it. This was by far the greatest thing it could have given me. I now know that it is my choice what I am putting in my mouth, and that I know that if I need to I can chose to go on teh 5 day plan again (which I really need to do).
What I am trying to do now is have one day a week on fluids only, to use as a detox. I don't always make it through the whole day - it depends on how the day goes, etc. but this os my way of keeping in check.
It really did give me the mind boost that I needed - I totally understand on being driven crazy being stuck, and somehow even though my weight didn't suddenly start dropping like a stone it has changed my mindset and has helped in that way.
Whatever you chose, I hope it works out for you. You can always take one step at a time - try one day of fluids first and see how you get on.
