Cabbage Soup Diet
Summary
The Cabbage Soup Diet is a simple diet where you eat primarily cabbage soup (very low calories) to lose weight quickly.
Description
Lose 10 pounds in a week! There are several variations of this diet. Primarily, it is a low-calorie, low-fat diet. You make a lot of the cabbage soup, which has almost no calories. Then, you use that to eat when you're hungry. It fills you up, without costing any calories. You're also generally allowed to eat vegetables and some limited fruits. On some days, you may get a potato, a small amount of meat, or some brown rice. You're encouraged to drink lots of water. You're only suppose to do the diet for a week. After that, you should take a break for a couple weeks. Cabbage Soup Diet
Criticism
Since cabbage causes flatulence, it is a common side effect of this diet.
Many people believe that it's not possible to really lose 10 pounds in 7 days. Some say this is merely "water weight" that you gain back quickly.
Most acknowledge this diet is not healthy.

Aw man, I've been so bad....cheated day 1 with a mince pie, a mouthful of pasta...and a lot of vodka :P, Day 2 I forgot it was no fruit day and had an orange and some grapes before I realised, and had a slice of bread...Day 3 today I had about 5-6 chocolate biscuits.....lets hope day 4 goes better - though not sure is there any point in continuing?!! Probably should just start again from scratch....well I'm gonna finish it out anyway and try not to cheat anymore, and try to bulk up my exercise....I'll let ya know if I lose anything at all! | Anonymous

13 years ago I wnet on this diet and lost 30 in three months. Then I took a job that required me to travel and I gained it all back. Then I got an office job and lately the weight has been just snowballing. My suits are too tight and so I have to get a grip. I don't mind the taste of the soup and I don't mind the regimen of the 7 days but I do get tired of the texture of the soup. I read the comment about blending it and I tried it today. I am on day 6 and according to the scale I have lost 7 pouinds. I am happy with that. The blended soup is a great change and I drink it from a mug the way I do my tomato soup. with veggies and beef today it will be an easy day and I can make it through the brown rice although it is my least favorite. You can indulge your self a bit. I have had popcorn two days this week and I had a very small piece of a chocolate bar two times. If you can't stand the soup the diet is probably not for you but I find it is doable and it works even with a very small amount of cheating during the week I now go off it for two week and go back on it and keep cycling that way until I have lost the amount of weight I need. This time its 50 pounds and I also had to go on blood pressure pills so I am motivated to get rid of the weight. My Dr. says if I would lose maybe 20 pounds I maybe could get off the pills. That is great motivation for me. Good luck and stick to it. If you cycle you will find that eventually you won't cheat and you can watch people eat your favorite things and just watch and maybe ask them to tell you how good it is. It makes you feel good to control your impulses to eat goodies. | Anonymous

I am currently on day 3 of the diet, and I must admit i am enjoying it! I have undertook the diet with a positive frame of mind, which i believe many havn't if they give up so easily! I have experienced the maple syrup diet before and this is a walk in the park in comparison. I am running a mile every morning as I am experiencing no lack of energy and walking as much as possible. When I get hungry I can eat as much of the fruit and veg as I like. So I never feel hungry, which is the reason for eating not the fact that you crave chocolate or crisps. I suggest that anyone who is serious about losing weight and kick starting a new diet should try it bearing in mind a few things:
1) Be positive the effects will give you confidence
2) Dont let it take over your entire day, think that your lucky to have something to eat
3) Spice it up! dont put the seasoning in the whole pot. Add the spices to each bowl depending on your mood!
4) When wanting to give up think of those hot-ass jeans that you will fit into!
im exited for my results!
Enjoy and embrace the rewards! |
