THE FIVE DAY POUCH TEST
Day 1 and 2: Liquid Protein
Low-carb protein shakes, broth, clear or cream soups, sugar-free gelatin and pudding
You can have as many low-carb protein shakes as you like to satisfy hunger or cravings. The purpose of all liquids is to break any snacking, grazing or processed carbohydrate habits. In addition the liquids will work to cleanse your system and prepare you for the following three days.
Try to reduce your caffeine intake as well, but do not stop caffeine cold turkey or you will feel sick and frustrated potentially losing the desire to continue with the pouch test.
RULES: It is very important to drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day. This will prevent dehydration, will help curb cravings and will flush your body of toxins and fat. Sufficien****er intake improves kidney function and cell processes.
Day 3: Soft Protein
Canned tuna or salmon
Eggs cooked as desired.
Fresh soft fish (tilapia, sole, orange roughy) - baked or grilled, and lightly seasoned.
RULES: You get to eat as much as you want as often as you want. You only get 15 minutes each time you sit down to eat. No drinking 30 minutes before or after meals and no drinking with your food. A dry pouch will hold your soft protein longer helping your to feel full and fed longer.
Day 4: Firm Protein
Ground meat (beef, turkey, lamb) cooked dry and lightly seasoned, shellfish, scallops, lobster steamed and seasoned only with lemon, salmon or halibut steaks, grilled and lightly seasoned.
RULES: You get to eat as much as you want as often as you want. You only get 15 minutes each time you sit down to eat. No drinking 30 minutes before or after meals and no drinking with your food. A dry pouch will hold your soft protein longer helping your to feel full and fed longer. Remember to drink plenty of water between meals.
Day 5: Solid Protein
White meat poultry or pork cooked dry and lightly seasoned, beef steak grilled or broiled.
RULES: Remember to chew chew chew. Measure your portion (4-6 ounces) and eat only until you feel your pouch tighten. Remember, only 15 minutes per meal, so you'll have to work fast to chew your food completely. No drinking 30 minutes before or after meals and no drinking with your food. Don't go hungry! Remember, you can eat as often as you want as long as it is solid protein, consumed without liquids and measured in 4-6 ounce portions.

Good Morning Kevin!
I can't wait to break open the protein drinks. :-) Let's hope I can make it through the week. Work is taking me out for my Bday on Wednesday so I am going to pick a place I can stay true to the 5DPT and Wednesday night I think a friend is taking me out.
But, I am gonna stick to it. I am hoping for 10 pounds this time around again.
Hope you had a great workout!

Tijuana Pie is cooked in the crockpot and is a cross between a tostada and enchiladas. It is layered (and oh so good). I have really had a taste for it. I think I will go to the store this evening to get all of the ingredients and put it on tomorrow morning.
Regarding running: I will start tomorrow morning (I know , I know... famous last words). I have to get my sleeping under control again.
Have you been running?

Without struggle, there is no progress.
Tomorrow,Tomorrow,Tomorrow,Tomorrow,...LOL!!
You can't run because your not sleeping??
Yep still running. I ran Kirsten's mom's 1/2 marathon trail race a few weeks ago. That was 3 1/2 hours of pain!! But I finished!!
