What is a 5 day pouch reset?

it really worked for me. I am 13 years out and had never had a regain until my sister died last year. I gained 20 lbs and wanted to stop the gain before it got too much to handle. I used it just before thanksgiving. I did the 5 days and then went back to the basics of 64 oz water ( or decaf tea or crystal light) no drinking 30min before during or 30 min after. 65-80 grams protein 30=45 grams carbs and no sugar or flour. I have lost 18 lbs over the holidays with Christmas day and new years day off ( I ate what all the family ate just tiny portions.) I love love love potatoes so allow myself a pot ( 2 fingerlings or tiny reds or a half a small sweet pot) twice per week. I don't do bread or pasta or rice as I have not found a substitute I think tastes good. I am back to food rather than shakes except when I am traveling and cant stop long or find a place where I can eat. I have about 6 or 7 fast food places where I know I can get a good healthy meal ( most will give you the meat and no the bread) any restaurant will do as I know what I can select and do fine with at least two portions and sometimes three to bring home. I hope this helps you best of luck
