I found this 7 day diet on Pinterest

the_new_robin2016

It's called the cabbage soup diet. and there is nothing unhealthy about it. You eat cabbage soup atleast once a day for 7 days, along with the other things they tell you to. go to http://www.cabbage-soup-diet.com/ but this is the basic idea.

it suggests you stop after 7 days and eat normally, and then go back on it 1 - 2 weeks later if you want. just great if you want an affordable and easy cleanse.

The Original Cabbage Soup Eating PlanEating Plan
Day One
Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want (except bananas). Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day.
For drinks all week: unsweetened tea or coffee, 100% cranberry juice and water.
Day Two
Vegetables: Eat until you are stuffed will all fresh, raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat leafy green vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat all the vegetables you want along with your soup. At dinner, reward yourself with a big baked potato with (a little bit of) butter. Do not eat fruit today.
Day Three
Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you want. No Baked Potato.
Day Four
Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

Day Five
Beef and Tomatoes: You can eat from ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomatoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on one of the beef days (but not both).
Day Six
Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart's content of beef and vegetables this day. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables. No Baked Potato. Eat your soup at least once.
Day Seven
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Again stuff, stuff, stuff yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day.


The Original Cabbage Soup Recipe
Ingredients
 6 large green onions (also called “spring” onions)
 2 green peppers
 1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole)
 3 carrots
 1 container (10 oz. or so) mushrooms
 1 bunch of celery
 half a head of cabbage
 1 package spice only soup mix (In the US, Liptons is a good choice)
 1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional)
 1 48oz can Low Sodium V8 juice (optional)
 Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc. (Little to NO SALT!)
Directions
1. Slice green onions, put in a pot on medium heat and start to sauté with cooking spray. Do this until the onions are whiter/clearer in color (about 4-6 minutes).
2. Cut green pepper stem end off, then cut pepper in half to take out the seeds and membrane. Cut the green pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot.
3. Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.
4. Clean carrots, mushrooms, and celery, cut into bite size pieces and toss them in. Add tomatoes now, too.
5. If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.
6. For seasonings, you can use a spice soup packet of your choice (no noodles!) or use beef or chicken bouillon cubes. These cubes are optional, and you can add spices you like instead (make sure not to add much salt, if any at all).
7. Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the 48 oz of Low Sodium V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup simmer for a long time – about 2 hours or until vegetables are tender.

First off - Pinterest for health and wellness advice? The only cool thing on Pinterest are tattoo pictures and pumpkin muffin recipes.

Like somebody else said, this diet is all carbs. No protein and no healthy fats. If you don't know why protein and fats are important, you should be on Google and not Pinterest.

Not only are they all carbs, but fruit is mostly sugar. I know some of you think a carb is a carb is a carb, but I subscribe to the low sugar philosophy (so I try to get most of my carbs from whole grain and greens). This is debatable. Moving on.

Why are you dieting for 7 days. What happens on day 7? What happens when you go back to eating Hot Pockets?

Go for the lifestyle change. It's friggin October you have plenty of time for Bikini season.

Alright this is how I feel about diets like these.

If you already KNOW how to eat healthily, as in you practice healthy eating habits regularly, and you simply want a weight loss "boost", then doing short diets like these once in a while is understandable.

The only issue is when people who have no idea how to eat right & they just want to lose a few quick pounds, go on diets like these expecting to keep the weight off, which almost ALWAYS results in yoyo weight. But if you know what you're doing, by all means go ahead.
