Cabbage soup anyone???

Has anyone done this?
I want to know if any of you ladies have tried this diet and were you successful? I am on day one (I only want to lose about half a stone for my wedding in June but I want to know if this works...so that I have a back up plan!)
Thanks

My brother did it for 2 weeks once (I know they suggest 1 week) and lost 2 stone. I imagine it will take a lot of will power but its whether or not you want quick results!

I did this a few years ago when I had terrible body image. It turned into an obsession and I wound up with a dreadful eating disorder and lost 3 stone in two months. But that was more from starvation than anything else. The initial week will help you shift any retained water first, so if you do it too far in advance you'll only put it straight back on.
This is only worth doing as a kick start to another diet and it puts ALOT of strain on your heart. Be careful.
I think I would just replace my evening meal with the soup as I eat very healthily in the day anyway (already been dieting since Jan 1st).
Thanks girls x
try this, it looks pretty simple actually! I think i'm going to try it coz my seamstress woman told me I need to lose 10lbs even though my dress fits perfectly! hmph! x
Right I started on Monday (although forgot to weigh myself on monday morning! Duh!) but did on Tues morning. I went out and bought all the stuff on Sunday and prepared the soup. Had loads of fruit (and a few sneaky veg like raw carrots) on the monday...but ALOT of fruit. Ate the soup twice. It was ok! Not a big fan of carrots or cabbage (in soup). Have subsituted these now in the soup. Took out the cabbage, peppers and carrots and put in brocolli (don't think it would matter to be honest!).
I am not hungry (day two with the veg was a bit annoying in the morning so i started that day with an apple instead). Didn't take the potato either on day 2. But did eat melon.
I'm on day 3 now (fruit and veg) wihich is easier. Fruit and veg is easir as you can have mixed salad and raw veg and fruit. I have been doing a bit of both each day to be honest. I haven't been hungery though! And unless my eyes were decieving me this morning...i had lost a lb in a day. So I reckon I have probably lost 2lb so far...I'll know better about the weight loss by fri morning I rekon.
I did the Jason vale juice diet (7 day) and I lost a lb a day as well but must say this is far easier (and needs less effort).
I'll keep in touch with my progress. I am talioring it to suit myself (still drinking tea and coffee) and haven't managed much water or cranberry juice yet! lol Taking multivitimin a day also. ;\)
Chat soon! xx
I just used normal onions and didn't use the soup mix! LOL But then again I only put cabbage and carrots in it the once! But I can definately recommend swapping them for brocolli! Much nicer!
I must admit I wasn't overly happy when I weighed myself this morning! mmmm! Still only a pound off! Also...today was banana's and milk day! I have a bit of an issue with banana's! So I have done fruit and veg (I managed 2 banana's)...let's hope i've more off tomorrow of I won't be happy becasue that will be day 5!!! It has made me realise though the following...
1) I won't actually die if I don't have a scone butter and jam in work mid morning.
2) That I do eat when I am bored.
and 3) That the windy symptoms do eventually come! Last night was terrible!
I haven't been as strict with myself today but think that was because I was a bit miffed at only having a pound off still.
I should mention though that I am getting my period and I ususally swell up in the chest area and feel bloated when I am getting to that time of month! Going to try and keep going! xxx
I'll let you know how much weight has come off tomorrow .... ;\)
Now I'm off to make soup...again! hee hee
The soup is basically all veg. The remainder of the diet is fruit an veg. I have done it now for 5 days and although I have not seen a dramatic weight loss, my stomach is flat and I feel quite good. I think it is basically a detox!
Going to try and stick to the principals of the diet....soup (which is basically weightwatchers zero point soup) from Monday to friday for lunch and some dinners and then only ''good'' foods in work. Carrot sticks, fruit..that kind of thing!
I might try it again after my TOM has been and gone because I think it is not showing the weight loss properly! xx ;\)
Os a batch of soup usually does 3 BIG bowls. One lunch and dinner and lunch the next day! Bit annoying but not as annoying as the jason vale juice making! NIGHTMARE!
Just watch your metabolisum after you finish as it will have slowed down somewhat take the first few days off the diet easy and stick to light meals (brown rice, veg, salad) then introduce other foods so you dont pile weight on x
I guess it doesn't help that I hate cabbage...
I din't feel hungry but I also didn't lose any weight...although I don't have much to lose....and i think at my period i carry more water in my chest etc! So more weight as such!
I am going to keep the main elements of the diet...eat mainly fruit and veg in work and soup for dinner....allowing the weekend off!
I did have a flat stomach at the end of the wk though...at my TOM this is unusual! mmmmmm! I'm torn! I think when i am ''dieting'' I am obsessed with food and eating...think maybe health eating is the way to go??? xxxxx
