Hi All:
I am totally new to here and I hope that I am posting this in the right place. I am doing the 5dpt, but I can't seem to find out how much soup we are allowed to have on day one and two? Is it a cup? Also, on day three do we still drink our protein drinks? Thanks in advance.

Full Version: Question About The 5dpt
The 5 day pouch test is pretty simple as written (as long as you don't overthink it). Here's the instructions for Days 1 & 2 - and Days 3-5
The first two days are all liquids. You can have as many low-carb protein shakes as you like to satisfy hunger or cravings. In addition drink at least six 8-ounce glasses of water each day. The purpose of all liquids is to break any snacking, grazing or processed carbohydrate habits. In addition the liquids will work to cleanse your system and prepare you for the following three days.
If you're doing the soup, measure out 1 cup of soup and eat that. You most likely won't need more.
The next three days you get to eat as much as you want as often as you want! Ahhh, but there's a catch: it has to be solid protein and you only get 15 minutes each time you sit down to eat. No drinking 30 minutes before or after meals and no drinking with your food. A dry pouch will hold your soft protein longer helping your to feel full and fed longer.
So...no protein drinks on days 3, 4 & 5.
Don't forget to get in your 64 oz of water.

Welcome Roberta!
In SHORT, YES, you can have as much as you want but 1 cup at a time and to be eating within 15 minutes. Of course remember....MORE = MORE CALORIES TOO! I'm only saying that because the Pumpkin Sausage soup was SOOOOO GOOD, I could have ate the WHOLE POT! llol....and I hate pumpkin pie! lol..
Eventually I did eat the whole pot but it was a life saver for me...as was the split pea!
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

And yup.....DONT FORGET TO GET ALL THE WATER IN !!!!
