I have never dieted in my life and was never a believer of dieting. Seeing that I have put on way too many pounds recently and not very interested in being a gym freak, I have decided to try the cabbage soup diet. It’s my fourth day already!! The first 2 days were a struggle. I felt very weak and moody. But then it just turned around- I now am consuming a quarter of my normal calories and yet I have double the energy to do things. I am very active and motivated. Thanks to the reviews from everyone on this website, I have stuck to the diet. And guess what- I just checked my weight and lost 6 pounds!! I am definitely seeing the diet through to the end. I am not sure if I will put this weight back on but iknow for sure that I now believe in healthy eating.

I have struggled with my weight since I turned 18 and havent finished any diets or training programs. Two weeks back I tried this diet and lost 6.8kgs in 8 days!!! I followed the diet exactly to the above, unfortunately I was super moody at times and was going to stop until I weighed myself and noticed about 4kgs lost in 4 days! It has helped me get ideas on how to eat healthier and since I have lost another 1kg, but I think the slow down in weight loss was due to me eating a few carbs to gain energy for lifting weights. My weight was 97.8kgs and now 90.5kgs! Do it and stick to it for results! Im happy and so is my girlfirend

I did my own version of the Cabbage Soup Diet 2 years ago, and I lost 22 pounds in roughly 40 days (give or take a few days). HOWEVER…I cannot go without protein because of my blood sugar and health, I have to eat a low sodium diet because of my heart, and I am allergic to milk and butter. SO, here’s what I did….
1) I had very lean protein every day, once or twice a day, never after 6 pm at night. Very moderate portions, cooked properly.
2) I had very small portions of rice milk instead of skim. I did NOT do the milk and bananas then starve yourself part of this diet. I restructured it so that I had protein every day, and made sure my food combining was proper when it came to fruit and meat for instance.
3)I DID gorge myself on healthy STEAMED portions of veggies. I never went hungry or skipped any meals or snacktimes. I steamed everything veggie so that my tummy could digest it more efficiently!
4)I made sure to drink 8-11 glasses of water a day
5)I walked twice a day, every day, half an hour to an hour each time
6)I bought smaller, beautiful clothes, and hung them up on the closet door and looked at them every day with a positive attitude (ie these are my clothes, I wear them, they fit me well)
7)I went to the health food store and created my soup base with low sodium bouillon cubes. I held off on lots of celery, instead substituting any low calorie green veggies, and Chinese veggies. I got all my veggies fresh (picked that day) from an organic farm at the farmer’s market. I made the soup in bulk in a large crockpot. I portioned everything I was eating out ahead of time and stored it in the fridge. I never ate whilst watching TV. I sat with my food and enjoyed it/focused on it.
8)Because of my blood sugar and how I know my body, I had organic oatmeal and blueberries (with nothing else) 3 mornings a week for breakfast. The other days, I had two plain scrambled eggs with a few drops of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil in the pan, and added tumeric and cayenne (fat burning spices).
7) I never gorged on fruit, but I ate it moderately, and sprinkled it with cinnamon(fat burning spice).

There you have it. My doctor was very happy, said I was very healthy, and I looked amazing in my bathing suit after losing 22 pounds in a month and a half!I kept off all the weight until a bad break-up, after which I started eating dairy and sugar for a while (cow’s milk and sugar will actually make you fatter go figure). As soon as I stopped that bad habit, the weight fell off again in 2 weeks=10 pounds. I eat moderate portions throughout the day to make sure I never feel hungry. I don’t eat processed complex sugar and dairy rich foods (pasta dishes, fast food, frozen meals, bread) and I don’t eat late at night. I exercise at night mostly. When I PMS, I indulge in dark chocolate pieces shaved onto non dairy desserts that are naturally sweetened, or I have a few healthy snacks from the health food store that don’t contain white sugar or cow’s milk. I’ve kept the weight down since I made these changes. Highly recommend a mostly veggie diet as well, very helpful.
