cabbage soup diet

Has anyone done this before? MY friend says it really works. i plan on making the soup tomorrow and starting it Monday - we are going on a cruise on April 11th

Re: cabbage soup diet

I just remember being REALLY sick of the soup after 3 days and having tons of gas! It does work though but your gonna gain it back as soon as you eat normally

Re: cabbage soup diet

It works but you be miserable and spend hours in the bathroom.

Re: cabbage soup diet

Whatever weight you lose will be water weight, so you'll gain it right back as soon as you start eating regular food again, but it will work temporarily.

I actually like to make the soup anyway as a way to satisfy my hunger in between regular meals. It's 0 pts!

Re: cabbage soup diet

Why don't you try like a Atkins/South Beach. You could probably lose 10 lbs by your cruise, BUT, like the pp said, you will gain it back once you indulge again.

You'll lose but you'll be in the bathroom the whole time.

Re: cabbage soup diet

Honestly, all of those type of diets are not made for you to keep it off. The only real dietthat works is moderation & excercise. I also think its not healthy for your body to drop weight fast & then gain it back & so on. Its much healthier to lose a pound to two pounds per week. Of course if you havent dieted or worked-out in sometime the first few weeks you will drop more then that. But its still the healthy way. So good luck to you & i hope you choose a healthier way.

You will lose weight but you will gain it back once you start eating normally again. I would suggest healthy choices and exercise versuses doing a fad diet like this one. And believe me, I have done every fad diet there is and each with the same results. Temporary loss and then once you start eating normal food again I've gained it right back.

Re: cabbage soup diet

This does not sound healthy - maybe you can assess what you are eating and start t make slow gradual, and permanent changes that you can stick with? The weight will definitely come off that way better than a fad diet which will destroy your body's metabolism!
