Starting 5DPT today

Hey all

I finally got up the courage to start the 5DPT, I'm only doing the protein shakes and water for the first 2 days, didn't want to wast money on the soups and didn't like it. It's about 11am est and so far I'm ok I had 8 oz cookies and cream whey protein shake with skim milk, and water, water ,water and going to restroom every 15 mins. But overall so far so good, wish me luck.

Good Luck to you :) 

We must be on the same page.  My day 1 was yesterday, but I fell off the wagon... so, day 1 was today!

 to us.  I've done it before. The middle of day 2 I usually end up with a screaming headache but I always feel so much better by day 6 than I did before day 1.  Now the question is... why can't I just stay on the wagon to start with and I wouldn't have to keep torturing myself????

Good Luck,

Jackie

Oh, I forgot to add on the subject of research.....Eating breakfast is extremely important. I had to change the way I was doing things. I would normally drink protein shakes until lunch (not much of a breakfast eater). Now, I try to have breakfast not later than two hours after awakening. Research this.
