I tend to want to keep eating if my meal doesn't seem 'big' enough, regardless of nutritional/caloric content, so I wanted something I could feel like I was feasting on while not 'blowing the budget' in terms of calories.

Following a recipe I found in a GM diet website, I made the vegetable soup that seems to be the lynch-pin of the GM diet. and you know what? Mine really is miracle soup!!

Through some miracle, I managed to make onion, tomato, cabbage and celery taste so good that I'm actually really looking forward to my next (absolutely enormous, guilt free pigout) bowl!

all it took was a quarter of a jar (not exaggerating, if anything I'm understating it) of paprika :)

I really feel like I've achieved something here. next stop: mastetchef

    It's awesome that you're trying out new low-cal recipes and found one you love, but take anything you find on a "GM Diet" website with a grain of salt. It's not a real thing.

    Aye, the GM diet has nothing at all to do with GM and a diet website that has to lie about its affiliations to sell you its diet program is something you should look at very sceptically.

    It sounds like a repackaging of the "Cabbage Soup Diet."

    The gas this soup will give you will cause you lose friends as well.

    If volume is filling for you, look into "volumetrics".
    I need a mix of more and less calorie dense foods to feel happy and satiated.
    But I do love my weekly vegetable soups, very filling for those few calories.

    Yep it sounds like the soup from the cabbage soup diet. I've made it before, I loved it, and like you said it's filling and you can can eat a lot of it for low calories.

    Yeah. Look up volumetrics. I also need high volume meals. When people make a salad for a small dinner party, I'm looking at it longingly because normally the entire thing would be about the size of what I would eat for dinner.

    @stevencloser @PaulaWallaDingDong, I'm not actually doing the diet, I just wanted a low-cal meal I could pig out on.

    I have my dumb moments, but putting my faith in a diet plan that tells you your main energy source for the week will be water?

    Thankyou for your concern though :) and thanks for yours @evileen99, I accept your warning but will chance it!
