I'm on it. Right now. So sick of fruit I could puke. I hate day 1. Anybody heard of it? Anybody done it?
what just cabbage soup.is that it.is that all you eat? are you not starvin' hungry ?thats not good for ya.eat some proper food or you'll get sick.
They almost sound made up don't they? Cabbage diet? What sort of jive sucker falls for that? I read about some guy who went on a twinkie diet a few weeks ago, for like 40 days he only ate twinkies. He did lose a lot of weight, because he was calorie restricting... I assume there are only so many twinkies you can eat. That doesn't make it a healthy diet.
Umm...and why are you doing such a silly diet? I actually googled it: http://www.cabbage-soup-diet.com/eating-plan/
Cabbage soup diet is essentially just water with a little bit of fiber.. might as well just drink ice water with some metamucil...
if i exercise enough i can eat anything. i used to keep a strict vegetarian diet and ate only healthy foods. i was exercising at the time, but as i began training more for a 12 hour mountain bike race i found that my diet wasn't cutting it anymore. before the race day rolled around i was eating mini peach pies and bacon cheeseburgers for energy.
If I was a child, I would need to be taught how to eat. Since I know perfectly well how to eat, and have successfully dieted "the right way" in the past, I am currently just doing this to clean myself out. I've developed some really shitty habits in the past few weeks and needed to hit the reset button. :2thumbsup: Not just one: http://www.cabbage-soup-diet.com/eating-plan/ I just got done with the veggie day and I feel great. Yesterday was tough, because all I could eat was fruit. I ate a lot of the soup yesterday, because I got really sick of sweetness and acid flavor... Yesterday sucked, I'll admit. Today I had the soup once, but I added a carton of mushrooms to it and some more spices and pureed it. It was pretty good. The rest of the day I had a veggie scramble (cheated with an egg, but I'm not really concerned about it), a spinach salad, some carrots and snap peas, a tasty stir fry and a baked potato bigger than your head. I've been eating a little lean protein every night, against the recommendations of the diet, just because it makes more sense to me. All in all, I'm enjoying the simplicity of it all.
cabbage soup good. lack of dietary diversity not good. could go for some bell pepper soup right now, but i don't have any bell peppers. plus they're kind of a pain to clean, which means if i bought more then one or two, they'd rot before i could get to them. of course they're not cabbages. nor brussles sprouts. dam veggies. i love how they taste in a good soup well cooked. just takes too long, with my limited cooking facilities to make them. some of the produce stores have hot soup bars now. which i'll eat some when i go there. they're not the cheapest of stores though, so they're not the ones i go to most often.
But thats the thing you shouldn't need to "clean yourself out" the body does that on it's own. I bolded those words because you should not look at a food as I cheated.... I'm just saying I've battled the weight and still going down the scales. I try not to think if I eat something I cheated and its bad and feel guilty, or I don't block out foods. If I want Chocolate I'll eat it...saves binging and the craving of you want it more because ya can't have it lol Anyways I wish ya the best!:2thumbsup:
I understand. You're a detox skeptic. I'm not about to go out and buy kinoki foot pads, but suffice it to say that I am not. You can criticize that if you wish, but I have my own opinion on this, and I am not trying to sell it to anyone, so I'm going to ask that you respect that and not try to save my soul, so to speak. And I agree that the body does have its own waste management. I just believe that when we overload it with preservatives and additives and food-like substances on a daily basis, it might need a little extra help. At the very least, your colon might. A little extra fiber never hurt anybody (at least anybody that wasn't prepared to deal with the consequences, lolz...) I just use cheat as a familiar term, but as I said before, I don't feel guilty. No one's pointing a finger at me and saying "BAD!" I've had a chocolate wafer or two this week. I don't hate myself. I just made sure to be extra diligent for the rest of the day. I allow myself a "cheat" once a day, and that's kept me thus far. It helps me evaluate what's worth it to me and what's not, and it's been helping me rebuild my sense of self-discipline like you can't imagine. Plus, I've still been adhering to a calorie budget, and the quality of the food I'm eating is good, so I'm certainly not going to waste away restricting a few food groups a few days this week. I do appreciate your concern and thanks for your well wishes.
