    I could maybe do it for a few days if my jaw is wired shut. Why can't you just eat the healthy foods that you are putting into the soup instead? Eating nothing but soup for that long sounds miserable, even if it is good, hearty soup.

    It sounds very much like the Cabbage Soup Diet I was on over 30 years ago. It was only a temporary fix. Just to satisfy your curiosity, try it if you think it will work.
    Me? I wouldn't waste my time & effort on it again.

    I like the Scared Heart Soup. Not for the DIET but because it taste good. I make the soup like one a week and my family loves it.

    Hey!

    I hear you can lose weight by only eating a stale crust of bread and drinking a pint of water a day. Its called the 'third world prisoner diet'.....

    I wouldn't think it was a very good idea at all. Maybe soup every day for lunch or something, HEALTHY, filling soup. But your body NEEDS solid foods to function correctly. Eating only liquids/mushy things for extended periods of time causes your internal organ muscles to weaken, and then when you reintroduce solid food, not only will you probably gain weight back, but you may very well suffer gastrointestinal issues as your body struggles to get used to digesting solid foods again.

    How about just eat reasonably and healthily with sensible portions?

    Ugh. My boyfriends cousin keeps telling me I "need" to do this cabbage soup diet. Her exact words were "I tried it and lost 15 pounds! But I gained them all back when I started eating like regular again" well no ****. And I don't want to just lose 25 pounds for a week, I want them gone for life!

    his recommendation was no less silly than a "I want to eat soup for 7-10 days just lose weight and then expect it to stay off when I go back to eating real food again" diet.

    but hey, cheers!

    If you are going to do it no matter what anyone says, why did you post this thread? Were you looking for validation or were you looking for information? The information was given to you. It seems you were looking for validation. That's silly.

    That's just the point that you're missing Sunshine... it's that we don't want to rub your nose in gaining the weight back after doing some stupid fad diet.

    We're trying to give you sound advice to avoid you having to do this. But if you're going to be stubborn and do what you want, well, best of luck with that.

    i asked for advice , recipies and just to see if anyone had tried it with any success.... not for judgments to be made on my choice!

    No personal judgement were made. No one called you names or said you were stupid. All negative responses were aimed at the product.

    As am I on occasion. We get desperate for things that will work and so being told no is very discouraging. But it also can be a real boon for us in the end.

    I don't see whats wrong with eating soup, I love soup and eat it all the time. I'm talking about stuff that is packed full of meat, veggies, and whole wheat noodles or rice. Not just chicken broth and rice (not that I would consider that soup). I think you are taking what she is asking way out of context... she is asking for recipes.

    Sorry I don't have any, I just throw stuff in a pot and cook it.. usually turns out good. hehe.

    Soup diets are stupid, a long with any other kind of fad diet. You're not gonna lose fat, just water weight and glycogen. No quick fixes ppl.

    I wouldn't do soup as my diet. I love soup for lunch with a salad but then I have other food for breakfast and dinner. Soup is filling yes, but it would never do enough for me. I would much rather eat right and loose weight than have a fad diet that would cause me to gain the weight back.
