Cabbage Soup Diet

I tried the masrhmellow diet one time.

Totally didn't work.. ate nothing but marshmellows for 177 weeks, and not a single snow white poo:(

Drink some barium. You'll have ghost-white craps for days.

A couple notes on the cabbage soup.

1. Summer is a very tough time to do the CSD because no one likes to eat hot soup in the summer. I make the soup as directed then each day rather than heating up a bowl I take 1/2 fresh cucumber, peel it and de-seed it and 1/2 of a fresh Jalopeno and remove the seeds. then I place it in a blender with a cup of cold cabbage soup from the fridge and blend until it is slightly chunky - Now you have Cold Gazpacho Soup. Very delicious.

2. You will lose weight on the CSD and any other diet because you are reducing calories and changing your eating habits. So when you get off the diet, work on changing your lifestyle and eating habits (by reducing calories) and the weight should stay off.

cabbage soup is good. cabbage soup diet is bad. had my fair share of experience with this... it's a gimmick. i didn't get pass day 3. you get sluggish and feel hungry all the time.

don't forget that cabbage has a "laxative" effect.... you have been warned

The cabbage soup diet works. It works because you are consuming probably 100 calories a bowl when the average woman needs around 1500 or so ( don't quote me on that). Have you heard of the cookie diet? Sounds extremely unhealthy to just eat cookies no? Well, same concept. An average cookie is 150 calories.. so replace your meals with one then yes, you will lose weight! But as everyone else here has mentioned it will come back. Not only will it come back, you will have slown down your metabolism which will in turn cause you to gain more weight. You will have lost out on plenty of nutrients so even though you may not see what its doing to you inside, it is definately detrimental. Your body cannot function properly without the proper amount of nutrients and electrolytes. Heard of the sodium/potassium pump? This pretty much runs every single process in your body, if your electrolytes get out of balance your body will too. Believe me, the most SIMPLE and EASY way to lose weight and be healthy is move more eat less. You say you like fruits and veggies, why dont you make stirfry's with chicken, or top fruit in the morning with greek yogurt and flax seed. You got all the resources, use them to your advantage!
