This is just sad.

I really want this thread to die in a fire. It's the most bumped zombie thread that shows up on my topics. Where is an "unsubscribe" button when you need it?

This is aka the cabbage soup diet. Just one of the worst of the worst.

How about you eat all the foods any day you want to, as opposed the daily food group segregation and restriction, but in moderation, with a bit of physical activity?? That's what works for me.

BTW, Day 4 - all the bananas and skim milk you can ingest, followed by a cabbage soup chaser - the thought alone makes me want to puke.

ETA: Oh, so sorry, didn't realize this thread was years old and should be dead and buried. Someone, give me a shovel!

the soup sounds good, almost something similar i make in a slow cooker but i use veg brother and potatoes too.
fad diets are retarded but i could see this working well if someone has hit a plateau. the soup would be good as a side dish to a main meal or as a snack to keep you full in between meals to keep you from over snacking or binging.

"East as much as you wish and as often as you like. This soup will not add calories, so eat all you want. The more you eat, the more you lose... Enjoy! Yum, yum.."

i'm pretty sure this WILL contain calories!

Wow, a soup that doesn't add calories! How does that work, exactly? Does your body know it's a 'miracle' soup and just reject all of the calories? If only I could find a cake that does the same.

Beef and 6 tomatoes one day? 8 bananas and 8 glasses of milk another? Sounds yummy. Who needs to just eat what you like at a calorie deficit? That's far too easy!

Weight loss:

Calories in - (more) calories out = weight loss

The crash diet works because you're consuming, at most, about 1000 calories a day. You'll put it back on as soon as you begin to eat a healthy amount of food. Why not eat, for example, eat 2000 calories a day of whatever you like (if, like me, you burn about 2500 calories a day), and still lose 1-2lbs every single week, without having to go on some stupid pseudo-scientific diet?

At first I was like, "oh yeah, a 7 day diet - awesome!" and then I was like..."Maybe not." I'll just make this soup for when I'm hungry at night because I have horrible night time munchies which completely sabotage my new lifestyle!

I just tried this diet and failed miserably.... Fad diets don't work because it's not a complete lifestyle change. I sit next to a nutritionist and she said that fad diets will never work! I had extreme pains because I wasn't getting the appropriate nutrition that I should have been getting. I think you need a well rounded diet of everything, just less portions to succeed. Just my opinion.. Yes! It does make you gassy as well!

I would like to know what the 3 day diet is.

This is a safe diet.

If by "safe" you mean "meaningless", then yes, I totally agree.

I'm curious what your metric is for "worked well".

I thought the same, but I didn't have the balls to say it.

hmmm...cabbage soup diet?

Get the same results following a keto diet and eating more. No need to starve yourself.

bumping just for the soup recipe...I couldnt eat just one category of food a day no matter how temporal it is...Maybe thats why I am overweight lol. But I love cabbage and I love souppppppp!! So perfect.

If you have to keep repeating this "diet" every so often, it must not work very well. I can't imagine doing this to my body.

Vegetables have calories, they don't disappear if made into soup. They just get wetter. And flavoured with onion soup mix. Which also has calories. Not many, but it does.

If you eat 3,500 calories of this soup over your TDEE, you will gain a pound. That would be a lot of soup, but it is possible, so telling people to eat as much as they want is misleading.

Hey everyone! I found the following 7-Day Cleansing Diet in my recipe box, and I've had it forever (about 35 years). It sounds a bit weird, but I followed this diet before, and it worked pretty well. Check with your doctor first, and then you can try it if you want. I might try it again, and see how it goes. I loved the T-J Miracle Soup! Yummy... You can just have the soup if you want, and don't worry about the rest of the diet. Take care, Laura

SEVEN-DAY CLEANSING DIET--From the Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, Washington for overweight heart patients:

I don't see any harm in eating the soup once in a while, but have one other comment. Yes, there is a real Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane Washington -- I just Googled it. However, there is no way a hospital would tell overweight heart patients to eat this as a diet for a week. My late husband went through open heart surgery at a major cardiac center in Pennsylvania. As part of his recovery, he took a diet and nutrition class that recommended normal food but told him to eliminate salt because it would cause the skin grafts to not last as long. They did recommend a balanced diet with food from all the basic food groups, but fewer calories for weight management. I took the class with him for my knowledge. A hospital would absolutely not recommend this diet -- it's too goofy.

Over the past 15 yrs, I have done this "diet" as a way to "kick off" a better way of eating!! Works like a charm EVERY time...as a matter of fact, it was the Vegetable soup in my diary a few weeks back...did it for 5 days...then take a break for at least 2 wks. My DR gave me permission to do this, but only a few times a year, so I get off a plateau or lose about 5-8lbs and re-start my metabolism! I use all fresh tomatoes, and a lot of fresh herbs. I also use green onions & one big carrot. The 1st day I eat it cold, then after that, I figured out if I pureed it, it basically tastes like an amazing homemade V8...which I love...the only "problem" is that each 8oz only has about 45 calories!! On my protein day, I ate it hot with beans or meat in the soup...I can only do this about 3-4x a year..then I hate the smell.(And seriously wanted to throw it out the window, as previously stated!!) But...I don't like "fad" diets, EXCEPT for a very few times a year, when they help us off the weight and MENTAL Plateau that we all hate! After not seeing the scale move for 3 mos, that's when I did it... Oh, and btw--I have the 3 day Diet on my fridge if you want me to post it!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry every time I see someone endorse something that works EVERY time... which actually proves that it doesn't work because they keep gaining the weight back and keep repeating the cycle. And doctors are such experts in nutrition... NOT.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.

Seriously, find a sustainable plan that you can live with for the rest of your life, then CHOOSE to DO it. If you are eating the right way for health you will not struggle with hunger or keep gaining the weight back. But the FOOD matters. Yes, it does.
