Liquids and resetting the pouch..

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I belong to several groups. One of our fellow graduates posted on

another group that during a time of high stress she gained 7 lbs

(death in the family).

Since she had gotten down to her goal weight and had fixer-uper

surgery she wasn't about to let this 7 lbs stick.

What she did is go on a 3 day liquid fast of Protein Shakes (3 to 5

per day), coffee and water. In the 3 days she lost 6 lbs, her

stomach shrank, and she says she feels like her pouch has reset

itself to post surgery & healing size.

She also did an exercise program called " The Firm " which she is

raving about.

Others are now adding that they buy the coffee syrup to add to the

shakes, as well as 4 strawberries, etc.

I thought some of you might be interested. I'm going to give it a

try. I've managed to lose 5 lbs in the last week with eating high

protein and low carbs. Maybe this can be another boost.

TGIF!

Hi Becky.......you are right....this is a very succesful way to take off

some pounds fast!!!! I do this once a year for 5 days (religous reasons.)

Sometimes I only do it for a day or two for " weight " reasons. I do have one

recommendation though......only from personal experience. When I did the 5

day fast last year I did 5 protein shakes a day. I had been at 162 for 9

months.....I went down to 157 with the fast.....BUT, when I stopped all hell

broke loose. I was STARVING!!!!! I couldn't stop eating.....for weeks!!!

I don't think it was necessarily mental and much as physical reasons.......I

was seriously hungry........not only did I get back to the 162.....but I

went past it and got up to 167......I have never been able to get back down

since, and can even sway up as far as 171-2. So, anyway, my suggestion

would be to not go any more than 2-3 days with this. I think that would be

enough time to get the other desired results (shrinking pouch,

carb-withdrawal, hunger relief)....but not set the body into starvation

mode. Because even with the shakes this happened to me!!! I can also get

these desired results with just ONE day of shakes......not necessarily more

than 1-2 pounds, but all the other benefits........HTH, P.
