Lol any diet with a name is a fad diet. You know what they say about those.0

That diet has been around for years and has a terrible record of success. It's a VLC diet, and you will lose a lot of water weight quickly, but that comes right back when you quit the diet.
It's up to you if you want to proceed, but don't expect much affirmation from people here about it being a good idea.0 -

Maybe the cabbage soup diet have their own site, instead of joining a calorie counting site?

Don't do today what you are not willing to do for the rest of your life. I have no interesting living on cabbage soup.0

It's amazing and goes great with a slice of ham or gammon and a fried egg!
Per person:
25g of lardons, I use Aldis = 75 cal
Pop them in to a dry frying pan, they create the oil, then add the cabbage and garlic.
Garlic 3g=4 cal
Cabbage 150g =34 calories
The cabbage and garlic suck up the fat from the lardons, it tastes lovely.

My mortgage rate is a fraction of what it was in 1985. I'm staying here, but with no cabbage soup. Cabbage with peanut butter maybe.0 -

You, me, two spoons. Game on!0 -
I make a version of this and my children fight over the leftovers. Great way to up the veggie content of a meal.RuNaRoUnDaFiEld wrote: »RuNaRoUnDaFiEld wrote: »I LOVE cabbage, but I prefer mine fried with bacon lardons and garlic.

No, because it's an unsustainable fad diet. Most likely will be water weight dropped during this period, and you will regain everything you lost during the "diet" once you begin to eat normally again.
Eat a variety of food in moderation. Cabbage soup sounds awesome, in addition to a well rounded intake.
Edit: The WebMD summary of this diet is sad. And the foods you can eat on it are sad too.0 -

My Mom makes a great soup that she calls "Cabbage Patch Soup". I think of it as more like "clean out the fridge and throw all the veggies in" soup. It starts with beef stock, cabbage, and ground beef and the rest of the ingredients vary every time she makes it. It is awesome!

I need to try this...definitely have a lot of stuff sitting around that could go into soup!0 -
Actually, if you have the Enchanted Broccoli Forest cookbook, there is a fab vegan cabbage soup recipe, one that I like to convert to vegetarian by serving with a dollop of dijon mustard and a healthy portion of shredded mozzarella. Delicious.
Oh, and no, I won't do anything called the X diet. It's like a pure guarantee of headdesk.0 -
I used to do this. My opinion may not be popular but I don't think it is harmful to jump start weight loss and experience some success from the beginning. You will lose water weight because the diet is pretty Low in carbs. I don't thing it is reasonable to stay on the diet for more than a week. The calories are too restricted.
The thing I liked about it is there was plenty to eat....and the soup is filling. It helped me deal with the anxiety of going hungry.0 -
OP just seacrh cabbage soup and you will see all the negative comment it receives and justifiably so. Learn about proper safe sustainable healthy weight loss, the soup diet is nothing more than a fad and youve fallen for it.0

Soup is great, but not as your main source of nutrition. That's a very foolish thing to do.0

I did the cabbage soup diet. It's crap and doesn't work.
And before you ask about:
I did the south beach diet. It's crap and doesn't work.
I did the slim fast diet. It's crap and doesn't work.
I did the grapefruit diet. It's crap and doesn't work.
I did the "drink warm lemon water and you can eat whatever you want and as much as you want" diet. ICADW (my new acronym haha)
I discovered myfitnesspal, found out how many calories I should eat to lose weight. I can fill those calories in with grilled chicken or fried chicken. I do t drink smoothies unless I wanna. I can end my day with ice cream. Heh, I just had some tortilla chips and cheese dip. I stay within those calories, and eat the foods I like and love, just less. No puking from too much cabbage, no more being hungry because I can only have a slim fast every few hours.
I joined a gym and began an exercise routine.
That crap works.
