my cabbage soup experienceOct 12 2008 17:09
what seems so funny is that i was gonna do the cabbage soup diet to jump start my weight lost again. i don't think it is a bad diet if you are at a plateau as long as you follow it with a sensible diet. and ofcourse if you continue to eat as if you are not on a diet you will gain it back. but that was not the case with me. i was on the high protein low carb diet and it worked wonders for me but i needed that extra umph and i thought the cabbage soup would be that umph that i needed. nevertheless, i bought all the stuff for the soup, my everyday stuff i was gonna need and spent over 50 bucks on this stuff. i work nights and didnt' really have time to fix it so i would start off my day by eating fruit which is what you are suppose to eat on day one and i told myself i would fix the soup when i woke up. but time never allowed b/c i would always over sleep and would have to rush off to pick up my kids from school and by the time i got back it was not enough time to fix the soup b4 it was time for work again. so for two days all i would eat was fruit until late in the evening when i got a chance to eat at work and it would still be something small. i think i lost 3lbs over the course of those 2days. when i did finally make the soup it made me sick to my stomach just to smell it. i couldn't stand it. so the first day it just sat up without me touching it. the second day when i could finally stand to smell it, i didn't want any. and five days later i haven't touched it. i am about to throw it away. i have accomplished my goal without having to bother with it. however i did enjoy the fruit b/c normally i do not allow myself to eat many b/c they are high in carbs.
