    So if I just make sure I get the correct MFP entry (less than 14,000 calories). I could eat two or three cabbages a night and lose weight by the next morning? Or do I need to have it in soup? I'm so confused.

    If I eat a jar of kimchi will it work like a soup?!??

    No. Just no. Why not eat regular food at a moderate deficit?

    This.

    The best way to lose weight is by eating the way you know you will be able to stick to for life. It's a lifestyle change. Not a race to a finish line.

    That's because one whole cabbage is 14k calories.

    Wha??? hahaha, no. no it really isn't. 2.5lbs of cabbage (standard head) is 296 calories. You'd have to eat around 120lbs of cabbage to get 14,000 calories.

    Actually, the "calories" that are used in describing food are literally kilocalories, or (big C) Calories -- a thousand times the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g (or 1 ml) of water by 1 degree celsius. You would only have to eat about 50 grams of raw cabbage to get 14 kcal.

    If you don't believe me, maybe you'll be the USDA.

    Cabbage soup, brings back memories of all the low fat, low protein woo diets.

    I wonder if we'll have necro low carb threads reviving in another five years time?

    I love cabbage, but I'm not sure I could eat it for 7 days straight.

    ETA: I thought this sounded like an old diet plan, lol (just saw that it is a zombie thread) ;)
