Don't be disheartened - 5 days is far too early to see much change. Also where are your vegetables/salad? Rather than packets and pots of things which will be calorie dense , less protein items with more free or SF vegetables will help. I know it's unlimited quantities but filling up on more SF type food will really help give you a better balance.

VLCD is only going to give you a quick loss of water which is gratifying on the scales but is going to be regained once you go back to a more normal eating plan plus it just leads to yo-yoing - I spent the last year losing and regaining the same half a stone when slow and steady would've given me a much better loss. Best of luck - whichever way you decide.
