5 day pouch test

[HealthyRN 56]

While reading some of the posts I have read that people have tried the five day pouch test. What are they talking about?

Also what is NSV, I think those were the abbreviations, the topic would be about NSV on such and such date.

NSV is non scale victory! And the pouch test is what some people try if they are in a stall or to get back on track. You go back to all liquids and move on quickly from there.

It's fundamentally a fad diet variant that gets you back to very low calories and carbs for a few days, which some find helps them reset their cravings if they have gone overboard on junk food. Any diet that significantly cuts back the junk does the same thing. It has nothing to do with testing a pouch as we don't have one, and running liquids or yogurt through one (for those who do, as in bypass or band patients) doesn't test anything, either.

Thanks for clearing this up for me.
