PL! I will join with you! Have you looked at the 5 day pouch test? It is a great way to just start, get some restriction back, and not have to go through the 2 week liquid diet. That is tough on ANYONE!! I recommend maybe trying that. I am going to start it tomorrow. I need to detox from carbs. We will do this together!! I am right here with you. I will be signing in more regularly, I NEED to before I find myself somewhere I feel I can't come back from! Remember INCREASE water and protein, and down with the carbs!! 

This challenge does a lot of things. It detoxes you from carbs. It is a jump start to weight loss. And it helps you rediscover the restriction that you thought you lost! Here is a summary of the 5DPT: Days One & Two: Liquid Protein low-carb protein shakes, broth, clear or cream soups, sugar-free gelatin and pudding. Day 3: Soft Protein canned fish (tuna or salmon) eggs, fresh soft fish (tilapia, sole, orange roughy. Day 4: Firm Protein ground meat (turkey, beef, chicken, lamb), shellfish, scallops, lobster, fresh salmon or halibut. Day 5: Solid Protein white meat poultry, beef steak, pork, lamb, wild game. There is more info, a journal you can download, and some recipes HERE.
