Anyone starting a 5 day pouch test? Monday, October 7

At last, I am settled into a job with enough money, homelessness averted and everything is smooth. So it's time to take care of me again by putting my tool to use.

I am so far off track, I am on a dirt road but I am committed to doing this the right way.

Anyone want to join me?

If you have done one, I'd love your tips and support.

Good luck. I had done that a couple of times. Best part for me was to decarb and get feeling of restriction. I had to stay away from milk - milk has 12 gr of carbs-sugar, and 8 gr of protein. For me that was too many liquid sugars per 8 oz of serving..

I done it several times too.  Good luck to you.  Come and check in and we will give you support.  You can do this!

I am doing this as well this week! With my protein drinks I use unsweetened Almond Milk.  There are less carbs and zero sugar.  I did this a couple of weeks ago and I found that if I focused on getting my fluids in and having my protein drinks, I really wasn't that hungry at all.  I lost about 15 lbs during that time.  Probably a lot of water weight but it was still a nice loss :) I have picked up my work outs and maintaining what I took off.  Thought I would do this again this week to help knock off a few more pounds.  Just remember to get those liquids in.

Also I had some sugar free jello when I did get hungry, and that seemed to help me a lot.

Good luck this week!
You can do this!

Thanks ya'll!

I am using almond milk, never liked regular milk much and seemed to develop a larger dislike after surgery.  I am using a  non artificial protein powder as artificial sweeteners give me a headache. I just try to remember that I lost 126 without the sugar free stuff. Not going to be easy but it is worth it.

Also, I am a big carb loader so this is really needed to break the habit.

I am tracking calories on my fitness pal if anyone wants to be friends there drop me a line.

Hi Calibelle,

I will join you on the 5 day pouch test starting today.  I have not done it before but I need to "re-set" my system and get rid of the nasty carb cravings.  Ready-set-Go!

I'm starting on Tuesday, so I'll only be behind you a day.  I had planned on starting today but woke up and ate my morning banana without thinking.  Good thing it was the last one!
