5 day pouch test

Well this is it, I am starting the 5 day pouch test Monday as I have managed to put on 20 lbs.  Anyone have any input or tips about it?

thanks

Be prepared for the headches the first two days.  Drink plenty of fluids and when I did it, I aso had protein pudding and chicken and beef broths.  You are basically detoxing from carbs which are causing the weight gain.  Good luck, you can do this.

thanks for your encouragement :)

 Good luck!  I think I need to do the same thing.  I have gained 10 lbs and want to get in control of myself now.  This is going to sound stupid but what is the 5 day pouch test?  I have seen it posted before but not sure exactly what all you do!

check out 5daypouchtest.com

supposed to help you get rid of the carb cravings and get the restriction back.

I went today and got some chicken and beef broth and some cream of chicken soup.

Hope it works!

I will keep you posted :)

I am going to do it too Karen - I have spent all weekend getting ready.

I am up 40 pounds now and worse than the weight gain is the horrible way I feel.  I commend you for doing this now.

We can do it - let's make sure we check in every day.

I am starting tomorrow, I will keep you posted- good luck!

wait up!!  I want in too!  lol.  I need to get with the program again and focus on my eating and weight.  I've been feeling pretty crappy which is due to my not so healthy menu.  I think my head is getting in the zone and I'm confident I can stick with it and lose these extra lbs.
Good luck to us!

I do the 5-Day when I know I've been very bad. My headaches aren't too awful, but they are real, so be ready for them. I'm resting my pouch today, so I'm in by default - just gonna stick with it for a  much-deserved 5-day.

Off on day 1 - doing well so far but it's early, lol.

I am dreading the headache but we can muscle through, can't we?

Keep up the good work.   We will have these cravings nipped during this holiday munch fest.
