Plateaus-From Kaye Bailey's newsletter
Just thought I would share this. I get Kaye Bailey's newsletters via e-mail and quite often there are good articles.
If you follow the 5DPT you know I always say don't do the plan for quick weight loss. Do the plan to get back on track with our WLS basics and refresh your memory about the Four Rules, slider foods, and liquid restrictions. Any weight loss during the plan is a bonus. I stand by this.
But that doesn't mean the 5DPT should not be used to bust a weight loss plateau. In fact, many thousands of people have reported to me that the 5DPT is the one thing they tried that worked in breaking a weight loss stall. It is not so much that the plan is magic, although who among us wouldn't like to believe in magic now and again! The plan breaks a stall and promotes weight loss because it returns us to the dietary due-diligence prescribed at the time of surgery and we focus on using the tools that make weight loss surgery work. Generally weight is lost in the first few days of the plan and this serves us well as a great motivator to continue with the plan and beyond knowing we are powerful and can work the tool to improve our health and manage our weight.
If you are frustrated with a plateau give the 5 Day Pouch Test a try. Get that scale moving again and renew your confidence in your pouch, your personal power, and decision to have surgery in the first place! You Can Do This!!!
The 5DPT as it is written and presented online and in print is an organized approach to getting back to the WLS basics both mentally and metabolically. When followed with attention to details we hear great success stories that include restored feelings of pouch tightness and satiation, lost weight, increased energy and overall improved confidence and mental well-being.
This month's 5DPT Bulletin is all about using the plan to boost your metabolism, bust a plateau and get back on track with your weight loss surgery!
You Can Do This!

Having said that, I think I'm going to do 5 days next week, M-F. Chips are calling my name.

To be honest, I actually REALLY like doing it. LOL Sad, eh? It gives me the opportunity to eat lots of egg bites and tuna. lol

Yeah, I know. But for some bizarre reason I seem to really only eat these when I do the 5DPT! LOL Silly, I know.
