If you have tried the cabbage soup diet, what do you think about it? Did it work for you? Do you think it will be ok to eat the soup with all that sodium in it everyday for 7 days?

    A relative was doing it under doctors orders to lose weight before surgery so I decided to do it with him. This was many years ago so I don't remember the specifics only that I was incredibly dissappointed with my weight loss despite following the diet perfectly. I did lose a few pounds but it wasnt much and may have been water weight.

    Oh dear god stay away from it.

    Not only are fad diets harmful, but that soup is horrid and will cause an instant gag reflex after day 3.

    I actually love the cabbage soup diet. I have my mother make me a big pot and snack on it when ever I'm feeling a little hungry. I don't use it as a weight loss tool but more as a fill me up snack.

    I have not followed the "diet" but made a huge batch of spicy low cal cabbage soup this winter and ate it for lunch and dinner for a week. I felt great, but I don't have the desire or will power to eat basically ONLY soup for a week :)

    Not to mention the horribly painful gas!!

    I have tried this diet before and actually lost 15 pounds but I always felt hungry and you get tired of the soup after the 3rd day but I do make the soup every once in a while and eat just that. The bad thing about this diet is you gain it all right back even if u exercise. Good luck!
