Looking for a buddy to start a cabbage soupe diet

Hey guys,
I would like to start this one week diet , and i would like to do it at the same time as someone else if someone wants to join, so we could motivate each other :)
It is a healthy diet, that helps you lose weight but it is also a detox diet, it quite restrictive but you can still eat as much as you want, here is the plan :

Day 1: Unlimited cabbage soup and fruit (excluding bananas). Water and sugar-free fruit juice to drink.


Day 2: Cabbage soup and additional vegetables. One jacket potato with butter for dinner. No fruit at all.


Day 3: Unlimited cabbage soup plus any fruit and vegetables you choose (excluding potatoes or bananas).


Day 4: Unlimited cabbage soup and skimmed milk. Plus up to eight bananas.


Day 5: Unlimited cabbage soup and 565g of beef and 6 tomatoes. Drink 6-8 glasses of water today to flush extra uric acid from your body.


Day 6: Unlimited cabbage soup and limitless beef and vegetables (excluding potatoes).

Day 7: Unlimited cabbage soup with a little brown rice, vegetables and sugar-free fruit juice.


Let me now,
Fae

    you realize you can eat a variety of food, stay in a calorie deficit, and lose weight, right?

    This is really just a fad diet..and ask yourself this, what are you going to do when you start eating solid food again?

    Are you really going to eat cabbage soup for the rest of your life?

    If you make the right changes now, you can have long term sustainable weight loss ....

    ...But Charlie Bucket never got what he wanted because the family couldn’t afford it, and as the cold weather went on and on, he became ravenously and desperately hungry.

    Both bars of chocolate, the birthday one and the one Grandpa Joe had bought, had long since been nibbled away, and all he got now were those thin, cabbagy meals three times a day.

    my SIL and I just did this diet last week. this was my 4th or 5th time doing it. it's not a pleasant or desirable "diet" by any stretch of the imagination.

    Today I'm eating cabbage soup because I made a pot special for St. Pat's.
    Tomorrow I'll probably eat cabbage soup again because I accidentally made WAY too much.
    Maybe the day after too, if I can't manage to give any away.

    Not sure if I'll eat any more after that for a while though :P

    Just eat food. Log your calories, hit your macros, get some exercise.

    "Detoxing" is unnecessary. This type of super-restrictive "diet" is unnecessary and miserable.

    I was thinking the same thing. Also, you're not supposed to post the same subject more than once. Is day 5 the only day you can drink water?! :noway: I hope this is just a St. Patty's Day joke, because cabbage. Please just eat a normal diet with a variety of foods. Otherwise, please invest in candles and room spray.

    I can't believe this crappy "diet" is still around. Obviously there is no miracle here.....because the diet has been around for decades. Wouldn't we all be thin by now?

    I'm on the "eat less - move more plan" ......I (measure) and log my food, I schedule (and do) some exercise. No food is off limits, but measuring and logging tells me which foods are "sometimes" foods as opposed to "whenever I want" foods. The BEST part of this "diet" ......it's a lifestyle change....something I can use to keep weight from coming back.

    provided you are not trolling: this diet has been around at least since the mid 1980s, and i've known a lot of people who tried it [including myself!], and.........it doesn't work.

    it has never worked for ANY person i know who has ever tried it.

    all it does is make you frustrated and angry because basically all you get is fruit and cabbage soup [also diarrhea!].

    take the advice of those here saying to eat a variety of foods in a caloric deficit. you will be much happier, you will not have to eat sh*tty cabbage soup day after day after day, and best of all, you will lose weight.

    Fad diets wont work but the soup recipe in this diet or any cabbage soup is actually very tasty and I make that sometimes.

    oh God ... I remember doing that YEARS ago. A group of us did that diet at work. It makes me want to run to the bathroom just reading about it. Take my word for it ... DON'T DO IT!!! You will not lose any weight and even if you like cabbage you won't be able to eat it again for about 6 years !! Believe me, don't do it. I can't stand to eat a banana ever again and I used to like them. Your entire family AND the dog will hate you. .... No really, even if you do manage to lose a couple pounds doing it, it's not real weight loss. DON'T DO IT!! It'll be one of the most miserable weeks of your life.

    If you decide to do this, you may want to warn your family and friends not to take it personally when you rip their heads of and chit down their necks because you are so cranky and hangry from doing this....Because you're going to get hangry.

    Hey, but if the "diet" itself doesn't make you cranky? The weight that you gain right back after you start eating like a regular person again probably will.

    Good luck with that, tho.

    Agreed. Cabbage soup occasionally = good. Cabbage soup every meal for several days? Nopenopenope.
