    I tried it probably 20 years ago, and my experience is that by the end of day 1 you're never going to want to see that soup again. You start out thinking "oh this isn't so bad" but that doesn't take long to change. 20 years later I still kind of shudder thinking about that soup.

    Cabbage actually upsets a lot of people's stomachs. Why not just make up your favourite vegetable soup, and replace one meal a day with a nice bowl of that? Extreme diets don't often help much in the long run, I'd honestly suggest you try for a more long term approach. If you're determined, just make sure you stay hydrated and aware of your body; if you're unwell from it, don't try and push on.

    I havnt done it, as i dont think its a good idea, but what i suspect you will endure:

    GAS!!! heaps of GAS!!!!! (and thus bloating)

    Severe deterioration in health

    Short term weight loss but long term gains

    Total mess up of your bodily systems, especially hormonal system

    Conclusion: DO NOT attempt

    It's fine to eat as long as you eat tons more the rest of the day to make up for the lack of calories. Having too big a deficit is very bad for your health.

    Never done the cabbage soup diet, but when I did WW they had a very similar soup you could make and eat as much as you wanted the first week of weight watchers. I love cabbage, love vegie soup, but wouldn't want to go without protein with it personally.

    My idea is to this diet and stick it for the week, and eat lots of fruits and vegies and everything else i can have on my days besides just the soup. After my 7 days is up start exercising daily and go on a more long term healthier diet. I am aware that I should feel like crap being on this diet, therefore i wont have the energy to exercise during it. Its just for a week,,It shouldnt hurt to try right?

    Instead of eating cabbage soup, why not consume the same amount of calories worth of various delicious foods and still lose weight anyway?

    DONT DO IT!!! DONT DO IT!!! lol I've tried every fad diet you can think of so I too have gone the route of the cabbage soup diet. It's NOT worth it. I actually LOVE cabbage so I thought it would be ok but believe me, after the 2nd day it's pretty much torture. It's not even worth it because I only lost about 3 pounds which I could have lost eating different types of foods, just watching my calories. Go ahead and try it but believe me, it's not going to be fun and it's not worth it lol.

    Wrong. You're only setting yourself back 7 days by doing this.
