 Most people I talk to lose a short-lived 5 lbs.  remember the purpose of the pouch test is supposed to be to decarb, not to lose weight.  You are really just depleting glycogen stores.

 It is only day 1 and I am already feeling the withdrawal...I think this is a good thing for me!

It's basically a protein only diet for 5 days. Developed by someone who had surgery, not a doctor. Meant to "de-carb" you.  It's not a test of any kind.  It is a way to take out bloat .  Fad diet .   It's something you either love or hate. Most people try it at least once.

 I did the five day pouch test and lost about five pounds but I also found it was great for kick starting my weight loss again after a three week plateau.  Just my experience.
