Jen, thanks. Yes, I've heard about not combining carbs and protein at the same meal, but I wanted to do something drastic and cut out all protein and fats for the 5 days. I'm really not sure why I decided to eliminate all protein, but looking back at it, my calorie count was much easier to keep down this way.

I know a lot of the weight was water because I started peeing like crazy the very first day I went back all meat and eggs. It was strange the way the weight began coming off the very first day back on low carb. My plan is to do the carb up again when things stop in a week or so if not sooner. It does make sense that your body adjusts to making fat even with 0 carbs eventually. This shock therapy fixes that problem.
