Day 4 ...

well,  overall ..im just making the right choices..its not even like im "on" the 5DPT..its more like ..a life change, back to the basics...i have coworkers saying.."can you have this?...that?" ..i just tell them i can have ANYTHING i want..i just choose not to eat EVERYTHING in sight anymore...ive continued my protein shakes, drinkkkkkkkkkkingggggg...and following the rules...its really opened my eyes...and i feel better...its still that TOM for me and the scale has only moved down 3 pounds, but i am happy  :) havent heard much from any other 5DPT'ers...hope everyone is doing well ..and HAPPY 4th to everyone ..have a safe and fun weekend!!  i will check in tomorrow for the "last day" ...-hugs to all-  :)

Hi Dawnie, You haven't heard from this 5DPT-er because I woosed out and didn't re-start this week. I've been doing good with my food this week. I definitely broke the carb cravings! The 5DPT also helped me realize how little water I drink. I've boosted that up quite a bit but am not drinking 64 oz. a day. Three pounds is great and it'll probably be more when TOM goes away. (Tom is my ex-husband's name BTW - hee hee) I won't say another thing about that!

yep yep ..its made me realize that i wasnt drinking nearly enough...and what i was drinking..(sweet tea from mcd's) is soooo bad..i was having anywhere between 2-3 (32oz each) teas a day..A DAY!  i have not been craving them nearly as much..i have allowed myself one tea this week and it was very good..but i could tell a difference in how i felt after, so i try drinking water first..... i knew you werent doing it this week..havent seen the others in a couple days tho and LOL at TOM ..im hoping that's whats going to happen as well!  :)

Are you able to drink sweet tea without dumping? I can't drink anything sweet but I can eat sweets - unfortunately!!

GIRL! ..THATS WHATS BEEN MY PROBLEM..I DONT DUMP..i havent dumped since first out from surgery ..and i rarely did then ..BUTTTT  when i was doing the 5DPT the first time..i finally dumped...unfortunately is one on SF pudding! LOL

As much as I HATE that feeling that happens with dumping, it's saved me from regaining several pounds! Sweet life is much more satisfying than sweet tea - LOL!!!

well I was going to do the 5 DPT I failed so maybe the 14 I will try again it is so hard to just drink & not eat my son has his wisdome teeth out then so I will cook just soups for him so that will help me out lol ,so I am watching what I eat tho trying to cut the carbs out so hard tho chips are my downfall

I too am going to try this 5 day plan.  I have gained and nothing is working and I am 3+ yrs out of surgery so I have to loose 20 lbs to get back to where  I was.  Do they call popcorn a slider food?  Gosh I buy whole grain popcorn fat free mini bags and they have been my afternoon snack for so long... I will die with out them   do you or anyone out there know if that is a slider food.  Sue
