Has anybody tried these soup diets thats available out there? Is it any good? Is it worth trying?

Let me know what you think!

    Oh no, not the soup diet, hahaha!
    This was a huge thing at work. It was a potato soup or something like that. All I remember was that on Day 4 (or one day of the week) you could only eat the soup and 7 tomatos. SEVEN tomatos. Just the thought makes me want to puke, But with that being said, both co-workers lost a lot of weight. But it just seemed like torture. Maybe there are better options that don't involve seven tomatos, lol.

    I've tried some and not found them very filling, half an hour or so after eating I'm wanting to snack on somethign a bit more substantial.
    Try making home made soups, you can control what goes in them and make them nice and chunky with tasty veg!

    i make a HUGE pot of soup every couple weeks (it makes anywhere from 17 - 20 cups of soup, depending on how far i let it reduce).
    its made from a variety of vegetables... tomatoes, zucchini, cabbage, onions, fresh garlic, carrots and celery. i cook it in water (i originally used chicken broth, but the sodium was outrageous). I season it with curry powder, bay leaves and paprika and some other spices to make it nice and spicy. I let it cook for about 2 hours... then i let it cool and puree it so it becomes a nice thick soup.

    i added the recipe in here into the recipe builder, and it only comes to approx. 34 calories A CUP!!
    and a whole bunch of potassium, and roughly 30+ mg of sodium!!

    My mother use to make peel a pound soup...cabbage and V8 and salt and pepper I think. I think just finding healthy food is good, soup all the time may get old.

    I love, love, love Progresso soups! I'm sitting at my desk at this moment enjoying a bowl along with my boiled eggs and salad. I eat soup everyday for lunch. I never get tired of it....lol
