Tomorrow morning begins my five day liquid diet of protein shakes. I am going for a "resetting" of the pouch similar to the 5 day pouch diet I saw online at http://www.5daypouchtest.com/plan/faq.html and elsewhere on the InterWeb ( Read more... )

Sorry I didn't update yesterday. Sunday's are kinda busy for me right now. I think I did even better on day 4&5 then I did on day 3 and it went pretty well.

I personally feel that it's not the way to go during the first year and especially not within the first 6 months. I do however feel that going back to basics can't hurt anyone no matter how far out you are. Below is a sample ( Read more... )

Forgot to post the final update to the test last night, so here 'tis ( Read more... )

Again, not a difficult day. Protein drink, banana, yogurt, protein drink, Italian roast chicken (1 breast). 64+ oz liquid. Multi-grain bread tonight when I get in the bed ( Read more... )
