Cabbage Soup Diet

THIS DIET SUCKS! IT MADE ME FATTER RATHER THEN SKINNIER!

this here diet made me fart all day long

This diet is great- I have used it several times , one week at a time. I have lost 10- 15 pounds. It is a good way to jump start your body to losing weight or to reach a goal for a special event. To make the diet have variety– I make the soup without putting in the dry onion soup mix. After the soup is made I take out a portion for each day and change the seasoning. I put in Italian seasoning– basil, oregano, etc and have Italian soup. For another day — I use Curry or Mexican type seasoning. This gives me a variety so I don’t get bored.

can you add other vegetables to the soup such as zucchini, squash, and asparagus or does it mess up the diet??

do you have to follow it completely? I mean must you eat each day exactly? what if you simply ate the cabbage soup?

I am now a fat obese lard women now my husband is not satisfied if you know what I mean. We’re getting a divorce, but if someone can save me and make me the babe I once was. This plan will not pull through. I do have hope.

this diet is wonderful. i came from india with one dollar i bought cabbage soup with that one dollar and it helped me with my weight.. now i have a rich husband and a sexy body! thanks cabbage soup diet! my kids karan and tabatha love it too!

this diet works im on it right now on day 3 lost 5 pounds not over yet but the method is with every bite i eat i lose weight

the diet was fab

I have done this diet once before, it really helps me to get a jump start and keep up with a low starch, no white sugar or flour nutrition plan. I do not follow the recipe for soup, I add alot of different vegetables, bay leaves and use low sodium chicken stock. Had tough time on day 4, but believe due to an excessive physical routine. I had success in losing 6 pounds last year and am on day 6, at a loss of 5 pounds!

This diet is not good for u at all. it cause gas and I have gain 15lbs from using thid diet plan. dont try

This diet worked great for my fat boyfriend named Parker!!! he once weighed 600 pounds! he now wieghs 467 pounds!!!!!

i heard that this diet works “great”,

I have gain so much weight I don’t know how it happen.I feel like a fat pig.this weight has me down in dumps.All i can God help me lose this FAT.

Brilliant soup, I have just finished the 7th day and I have lost 5kg like I supposed to. Now I will try to loose more weights because this has given me the courage to go on loosing weights. From reading other people that have tried this soup, I will eat the soup every other weeks like someone has done and see if I should loose 12 kg. brilliant soup.

Read all your comments, I have started the diet today!!
I have 6 month old twins and have a few kilos to lose!!
Hope it works and if not it will have been better than a week of eating rice and potatoes!! I do believe you HAVE to exercise as well, diet and excercise go hand in hand.I have a personal trainer and go to the gym 3 times a week. Watch this space for an update………

Well I am on my first day and lets see how it goes. I am going to be optimistic and beleive I am going to shed some fat. Will keep you guys posted.

I met somebody who did this and has lost so much of weight. Let me live in hope:)

I have done this a couple of times, its deffo not for a long term thing but, to kick start a weight loss/exercise programme its perfect. But, must admit got to day 6 and struggle as I hate brown rice, the rest of it is quite enjoyable to follow but big tip - THE MORE SOUP YOU EAT THE MORE YOU LOOSE…..

I read about this diet like a month ago, and tried to go on it, it took me 1 day to break it!!! but, I decided I’m gonna start again today. i bought some nice pants but they’r a bit tight so I need to help them out a bit. Hope to write here with good results!
Cheers

this diet is the worse thing ever. it made me gain 10 pounds instead of losing it .
i dont reccommend it AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

This diet works, but it grossed me out. It gives you gas VERY BAD! I only lasted on this diet about a week. Its hard to have a social life and the farts at the same time.

I just want to know how many portions a day must you eat?Could someone please advise me.

Today is my first day. I’m hoping to loose seven pounds. I am going to walk each day. It makes sense if you deposit less in the bank (calories) and take more out (walking at a regular pace for 30 mins) the account should be overdrawn (drop some pounds) by day seven .

i just started this soup diet today,I dont think i am going to last, its starvation and i think i will gain more then i loos cuse i am graving so much of everything lol i am quiting lol this diet sucks ass

This Diet is definitely good for losing a few pounds quickly. I have done it about 4-5 times in the past 3 years and lost anywhere from 5 to 7 pounds each time. A variation to the diet that I have always done (may be a part of a similar diet)is on Day 4, which I am on today, you are allowed to eat ‘All Bran’ cereal as well.

To answer Adelle’s question
–I think you are supposed to have the soup ‘at least once’ every day.

The gas and diahrrea is horrible but……..its working and I spice the soup up a little by adding hot sauce to it. I’m on the 3rd day and I have lost 3lbs haven’t lost any inches yet thats what I am aiming for but it will come in time. It’s overall a good diet but I’m sure I am going to have to watch what I eat after I’m off it, and I would really like some damn beer……..

I’m on day 2 and really feleing the pressure of not being able to eat carbs, always wanting something to nibble on. My cravings are horrendouse and anything usually repulsive is looking appetising. I have put on a couple of pounds but hope that the hard work will reap benefits in the shape of 10lb loss by day 7. Can salad be ate on this diet as it only mentions fruit and veg ?

This is my first day and so far so good im 350lbs and i`m thinking about surgery so thought id try this diet out before i do something even more drastic. Im going away soon so will let you guys know how im doing.

On day Five and have lost 6 lbs! (163 to 157). It really works! All you have to do is change the soup’s flavor/taste with herbs and spices. Just do something different with it everyday so that you dont get bored. This is my second time on the diet, the first time I lost a total of 11 pounds and kept it off.

I am not overweight but have gained a few kilos over the last year so i tried this diet and have slightly adjusted it and still get good results. I eat porridge (oatmeal sachets with fruit , with low fat milk) in the morning and then follow the plan daily as stated and it works!

The oatmeal gives you extra energy and is really good for you also and helps stop you from giving up on the soup diet entirely. Also it is low in calories and fat, but gives you loads of energy.

Also i leave the tomatoes out of the soup and i find it tastes a lot better as i could no longer stand the smell and taste.
If you don’t think you can last on this diet as it is or want to adjust it then pick a few extra healthy options, for variety.

If you want a more sustainable weight and lifestyle change, then i think implementing this soup and the vege, fruit, lean meat is the way to go along with other healthy choices and lots of exercise. Oatmeal is great, in the mornings, and the best thing to do is cut out sugar. Also if you make the options more reasonable and varied then you are more likely to really lose weight and not just water weight along with keeping it off including exercise daily.

All the best

okay first of all you people who say that you are gaining weight from it is probly because you did not finish it and are jealous about the people who did me personally did this diet and lost weight even i did not stick to it all the way because i hate tomatoes but i still lost weight but i am gonna try it again so all you peole who want to do this just suck it up and do it you will thank me. and after it eats healthy foods don’t go and eat macdonalds or like cake or cookies seriously don’t it will screw it up

This is a great way to cleanse your body. I add squash, zucchini, etc. I also pep it up with cayenne and the Spicy V8 Juice. Yes, it does work… as do most diets out there if people just stay on them as recommended!! People in life are such quitters.

its my third day but still not losing anything

I am a man and tried it because 7 women at work did it together and ALL of them lost at least 7 lbs. The ranges were 7-12 lbs. (the 12 is a VERY big girl). All of them also KEPT THE WEIGHT OFF too by eating more carefully. Anyway, after 3 days I lost nothing. But, now I am at the end of day four and all of a sudden I am down 3 LBS! WOW! Stick it out- that’s what they all keep telling me- and they’re right! Also, remember that when you eat right one day, it takes your body a while to burn the fat off- usually 1 1/2 days. I am thinking that I will lose at LEAST 5 lbs. with 3 1/2 days to go- hopefully more! This diet is awesome (but not easy at all). Sweeeet! Have will power baby! P.S. I was about 25 lbs. overweight when I started and am skeptical no more.

it helped me… i definitely lost 7 lbs

Hi everyone. I am a healthy eater and so far have lost 3 lbs own. But, I have decided to start the cabbage soup diet because I want to lose weight (faster) for my trip to Jamaica at the end of this month. I will tell you how it all goes. Even after i stop. But, I remember my mom doing it when I was young and it worked for her and with careful eating afterwards she has not gained the weight back.

I have done this diet before,and lost 15lbs. I will start it on Wednesday this week,hope to god it helps me.I need to lose like alot of pounds.

I am on day one!! I love soup I added a bayleaf and low sodium everything and tabasco. Tomarrow I am making a low sodium enchilada sauce to add to the soup base and adding a vegie salsa (its veggie day 2) I am really doing this for my hubby. We are 27 and his waist is 38 Im worried about his health. I will update, gotta go for a walk (also I am feeding my 3 kids lots more veggies with us on this diet) Its great for the whole fam. I am surprised how much my kids love all of the fruits and veggies(w/ranch light dip)

I added chicken and more tomatoes to the soup which makes it
taste better and the diet more bearable. I lost eight pounds in one week.

OMG You guys have to try this if you have a sweet tooth or getting bored of the fruit. Get a bag of “frozen” fruit. Put it in the blender with cranberry juice. It makes a great fruit slushy and will definitely fix your craving for something sweet. I could live on these things! I also added chili perrers and extra chicken bouillon to my soup today. NOTHING bland about it!

Today is my first day with this, the soup really does taste great I used some V8 juice in the broth so that really flavored it well. Just hope I can resist the cravings for everything else I want to eat!!!

This is a good diet. About 12 years ago I went on this diet. I lost 17lbs the first time, went off for a week and went back on and lost 13lbs, went off for a week and went back on and lost 10lbs. All of this was without exercise. I have been sick for the last year and 1/2 and have gain over 100 lbs and will be having surgery in about a month. So I am going on this diet again. I am hoping to loose at least 35lbs before my surgery. Thie diet is a good starting point, then you have to watch what you eat and exercise to balance it. Every now in then you can do the first three days of the diet that helped me also. I beleive if I had not gotten sick I would no need this diet now.

Hi

This is very refreshing to read. I’m on day 3 and was thinking of giving up! I’ve down it before and lost a lot of weight, but now it’s just killing me! I think i need to add a little more seasonign to the soup, and maybe some chicken stock-earlier i was worried about it being fattening. Is it?

If anyone else has any ideas for making the soup better or little tips and tricks please do share them. My weddings in December, I’m 22 and really really want to look good for it! : )

I tried the diet, Found I really liked the soup. I did not lose weight but towards the end of the seventh day I couldn’t wait to be off this diet!

Today is my first day on the diet… saw the scale this morning, and I was worse off than I thought. I’ve heard fantastic things about this plan, and I’ve seen the results on people, so I’m hoping the same works for me.

The soup isn’t too bad, although it is bland– I’m going to try different things, to see if I can’t give it some more flavor.

Im goin to start this tomorrow. I feel really motivated by all the success stories. Need to lose at least 10pounds. What is this v8 juice?

this diet is bad for your health!!!

dont be silly eat food!!!

your not fat!!

stop thinking that kk

Well, I’m on day five. I have lost a total of 8 pounds but must say it isn’t easy. The hardest part by the 5th day is finding the stomache to eat another bowl of the soup. My goal was 10 pounds and I’m reaching it, but one does have to tow-the-line with this diet. I have been weak but hope once back on a sensible diet that I will fell a bit more like myself. Overall though, if I have to I would do it again, but thank goodness my goal weight loss is only 15 pounds.

I am on day two and feeling just ok. I had terrible headache yesterday and managed to sleep over it. Today I baked the vegetables in olive oil and ate them with tsaziki. Hope that works ok.

Just started it today! And anxious to see the results!

on day 5 of this diet and have lost 11 pounds so far. on my first beef day i scrambled some ground beef and put it in my bowl of soup, good. first day was not so bad, second day kind tuff, after that not too bad until tody i got dizzy and had a headache but it passed. i’m determined to finish this, have not cheated. may do it again soon.

I just finished the cabbage soup diet. I lost 10-11 pounds. I’m more motivated than ever. I want to lose 10 more pounds. I’m 5.2. I go 3-4 times a week to the gym. And my goal is 120. The only thing that worries me is that today the 8th day, I don’t know what to eat???? I am affraid to gain back the weight I lost. Any suggestions?

i tried this diet and it works.
everybody i met noticed i lost weight.
i felt great,looked better and was just a great diet. sure the diet gets you frustrated cause of the taste but you have to make sacrifices. its in no way unhealthy your eating fruits,vegetables,meat,etc. just make sure to drink water.

just starting im fat as crapand so unhappy my husband loves me and says im beautiful but i dont feel beautiful and my opinion is all that matters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!today is my first day so i guess well see what happens!!!

Hi,
I’m on my seventh and last day. I’ve noticed the weight loss already but I don’t know how much because I didn’t check before starting. The diet is really good if you can stick to it (just 7 days). I don’t think I lost as much as I should but that is probably because I didn’t follow it strictly - got a bit bored with the soup halfway through so didn’t drink as much as I probably should’ve. I will definitely do it again in 2 weeks time!

I will be starting the soup diet aug 12

I did this diet before and lost 17lb in 12 days! But I did gain the weight back. Now I’m doing it again but once I get off the diet I am going to watch what I eat so I can keep the pounds off. This diet does work!!!! The 4th day is a killer with the bananas and the milk! lol But I did it!

I posted 3 weeks ago. As i mentioned I lost 10 pounds when I did it. 2 Weeks have passed, I haven’t gained what I lost, so i started again, trying to go for 10 more pounds. I following it religiously but today I weight the same. I haven’t lost any weight. It is my 3rd day. Any recommendations? Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll weight less. Has anybody gone tru this the second time?
Diana!

I started this diet today and I love it so far, I added many veggies, basil, parsley, cilantro, also salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. The soup is delicious!!! I did this diet about 10 years ago and I lost 25 lbs, I was really young and gained it back. I don’t think I’ll loose that much weight again because my mom used to seriously put water, cabbage, salt, adn onion to the soup. It was so nasty, we added so much red hot to it just to swallow the nastiness, but my sister and I made it today and it is so delicious!!! YUM. I hope I can loose 20 lbs in 2 weeks. I start the nursing program at school and everyone says they gain weight and I just want to get a jump start!! Wish me luck thanks!!

For those that were mentioning the heachaches you should probably pay attention to what seasonings you are usuing. A lot of people are sensitive to MSG and get headaches when consume it.
Those who were gaining weight should probably check the salt content of the broth & seasonings they were using. All of that extra salt can definatly make you bloat and gain water weight.

I am 16 i eally want to lose the weight in like a week so I’m gonna try it but i hope i can stick on it i have a hard time doing tht latley
But I have lost 20 pounds on my own and its been long i havent lost anythign. Its really a piss off. So gonna see if this works. Read the comments looks promising

im trying to hard to loose weight but last day i read about this 7 days diet i reall want to be slim so that the other people will not tease me like a pig
september 01,2008
start of my new day and the new me… wish me luck

am now on day 7,
have enjoyed this to be honest, had no sweet cravings, feel healthier in myself.
good luck to all who try it,, going to weigh myself tomorrow…

me and my sister are starting it tomorrow…
lets hope we can stick to it!

First time lost 12 pounds but gained 7 back in three weeks. started again and lost 4 pounds the first day. Hope to lose at least 12 total by week end.

i’ve done once this diet and i couldn’t stick to it more than 5 days, i’m doing it again now and i’m on my day 6 and lost 4 kls! i must say this diet does work is impossible someone follow it and don’t loose anything, if u didn’t loose is because u haven’t done it properly! i must say had a headache for the first 3 days and today i feel a little bit week, and to be honest, i can’t stand looking at it anymore! but as you see the weight going away you get determined to finish it. i have been eating only the soup and nothing else, now i want to try for another week but eating some vegetables and fruits! i’m just not sure what to do to keep the weight off i you have any ideas u can contact me please. romula1983@hotmail.com

People, it depends on how much of this soup you eat a day if you eat like 12 bowls of it, your gonna get fat, you can’t rely on filling yourself’s up with this and thinking your going to be a supermodel the next day. It doesn’t work like that, you have to control how much you eat.

My grandmother used to eat this soup all the time! She lost alot of weight I think around 40 pounds or so. I tried it also with her and lost about 12 the first week. This diet does work but it gives you some side effects like gas and lots of bowel movements. Do not use this diet every week!!! If you do decide to use it skip a week or two in between.

it worket the first time I was on it- i was on anly 3 days (went drinking on the last night, but still lost 2.5kgs and never got them back!
However- this time, I follow EVERY rule and on a day 4- have not lost a single pound.. why is that??

uhh i never tried this diet but from the looks of it it doesn’t work out to well and people didn’t like it too much… myabe if people just not ate so much and ate healthier and excercised more, than maybe this world wouldn’t get so fat so fast… just a thought && theory.

This diet worked for me. I lost ten pounds in one week.

And, Memieko, the ingredients in the soup are mostly ‘negative calorie’ foods, so you can essentially eat all you want and you won’t gain weight, no matter what your intuitions about food tell you.

Try eating celery all day and tell me if you gain 20 pounds. You won’t.

Hello to all,

This diet really does work, first time I tried it I lost 10 pounds, Im going back on it tomorrow, just like any other program first you must have will power second you cant CHEAT. I lost total of 20 pounds with the cabbage soup and on my off days I stick with healthy diet. Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.

If the cabbage soup dont work for you. then try the three day diet i had luck with this program as well.

the soup’s smell was overbaring… i felt like i ooozed cabbage/onion smells

A colleague was recommended to do this diet to lose weight before under-going serious surgery. He lost loads of weight, the surgery went well and he looks fantastic.

Well after that last post I feel recharged. I am currently on day 4 ( banana and milk GAG) but today is actually the most full that I have felt since I started this diet. I have currently lost 7 lbs and I am STOKED!! I did this once before after I had my daughter and only made it 3 days and then gave up, but I am determined to get through it this time! After all, it is only 7 days, and if I take it 7 days at a time, I will be at my goal weight in no time! I modified the soup a bit and I cook the cabbage separate from the soup and then add it when I am about to eat the soup. I found the soup tasted MUCH better this way and isn’t sooo stinky! I don’t mind the soup, but I also don’t eat a ton of it either, I try and have 2 bowls a day and it seems to be working just fine. I have been constipated though which I find kind of weird since I am eating a lot of veggies and drinking a ton of water. Anyway, three more days to go!! I cant wait to see the final results! I already feel thinner and its only half way through my 4 day!! So my advice is to stay focused and when you feel like cheating think about what you want more…to be skinny, or chips?? I choose skinny!

I’ve followed this diet exactly as I’m supposed to. I’m on day four and have gained three pounds. I also haven’t had the bathroom problems I’m reading about, so maybe that’s why I’m gaining weight! Please give me advise. The diet itself is easy for me to stay on, but I’m bloated and gaining weight! Will the weight go away by the end of day 7?

can I do this diet right after a 9 days detox diet which was mostly of fruits and vegetables
