SO I am on Day 2 of the 5 Day Pouch Test...
Feeling better than I thought but its definitely been a mental challenge! The things I thought would be hard (Cafe Mocha's in the a.m. and Wine in the p.m.) have not been that hard to avoid. It's all the "real" food that's around me all day at work! Ugh! Feel like I'm floating away! LoL

Just curious if I should stretch liquid portion out another day (honestly not sure I could handle it but want the loss of pounds) or if I should move on to Day 3 tomorrow as scheduled and do that for three days instead of just one?!?
The 5-DPT website says you "can" stretch out liquid portion but most people find it easier to stretch out the Day 3 part. I can see why. I want to chew and EAT something! LoL

Any thoughts from those of you that have done this before?

My thoughts are.. protein drinks suck! lol but with my thoughts set aside.. how much sugar and calories are in the protein shakes, that might help you calculate what you should do. If they are higher than what food is and you want to drop a pound or two etc.. maybe food is better.

Good point Kelly, I am not exactly sure which is higher but I know the protein drinks (Unjury powder) is only 180 calories with skim milk and 3g of sugar and 29g of protein with the skim milk also.

I have decided anyway to do the Day 3 part as long as I can.

Now on Day 5 I'm sort of modifying anyway...but basically sticking to Day 3. I am drinking a protein shake when I feel the urge to eat more food or just when I get snacky...better than crackers!

I've been really sticking to the liquid rule: no drinks 30 mins before, during and after. That is hard!!! And drinking lots more water/crystal light then I ever imagined I could. LoL
