Fast weight loss on Soup Diet [ Cabbage soup, Watercress etc ]
They say you can lose up to 14lbs in 7 days on this eating plan combined with mild exercise.
Anyone tried it? I am sure there's a lot of people against it here, I must admit - I'm a bit curious as to whether the weight stays off after you ease onto more solid foods again. Or whether it comes back with a vengeance
Every 'diet' can help you lose weight. Some help you lose lots of weight. However what got you fat was your lifestyle and eating habits so unless you change those, you'll just get fat again.
The ONLY way (proven by a ton of studies) to lose weight and keep it off is to WANT it bad enough that you are willing to change your life - eat the good foods, control portions, and exercise.
In short, if you're too lazy to do what's needed, you can't lose the weight and expect it will stay off.

the avg person has to reduce their caloric intake by 3,000 to 3,500 calories to lose one pound. Do the math....its almost impossible to lose 2 lbs per day short of cutting of body parts.
You maybe able to lose 14lbs in a week if you exercise for 10 hrs per day and don't eat or drink anything for seven days straight.
Some people 'cleanse' their bodies with juice fasts, fruit and vegetable and lots of water, this sounds similar. I imagine this would help you 'kick start' your weight loss program. I don't know that I would count on the 14 lbs and I would think a certain amount of the weight loss would be 'water weight'. I'd get terribly bored eating nothing but cabbage soup three meals a day for a week.
When you deprive your body of whole food groups, your body craves the missing nutrients. Probably best to continue to eat from all food groups in moderation, up your activity level and reduce the junk food.
I've never lost more than a few pounds at a time using this method myself - plus it can give you tremendous gas.
I'm on a soup diet. At least that's my name for it, but it's not anything like the cabbage soup diet. Mine is just that I eat soup and salad (no dressing) for lunch. The reason is, there aren't very many calories in broth soups, so it's an easy convienent way for me to control calorie intake. But I eat cereal for breakfast, and a variety of stuff in the 600 calorie range for dinner.
The first week I lost 6lbs. I also cut out sugary drinks. I went to a conference the next week and wasn't able to prepare my own food and gained back 2.5 lbs. Now I'm on my soup diet again for the next 3 days, and then I'm headed back out of town. I just hope I can be in town enough to hit my target weight. It's sooo hard to control what you eat when you are eating out for every meal!!
maybe Ill try this, soup and dressingless salad for lunch.I usually do grape nuts w/ plain yogurt and raisins for bfeakfast .But what for dinner? What is in the 600 cal . range???
I have heard of it- along with the grapefruit diet, which i tried unsuccessfully, i might add.The whole time i was on this grapefruit thing I was sooooo miserable, this probably being from the fact that the diet had no carbs, which we need for serotonin reasons, and i also stopped taking my antidepressants that week, and the reason i went on the grapefruit thing in the first place was because i had gained 20 pounds on the antidepressants!so, i don't really know whats involved in the soup diet, but just watch that it doesn't make you miserable and moody like i was, i think if that happens then the diet can't be too good for you.Good luck with whatever you choose, and if you are successfull at anything let me know! i still need to get those 20 pounds offa me!!!
it is possible to lose 14lbs in one week, as i've done it. i'm not a promoter of any kind and don't suggest you try it unless your willing to put in the effort.
it does take a lot of work, not just cutting out alot of food but doing ALOT of exercise to burn off fat, but when you so this diet, you don't just burn off fat, you burn muscle. so i had to lose the weight then muscle train afterwards.
i didn't eat cabbage soup and watercress either, i ate beans on toast twice a day. it may not seem like alot but it worked for me, so i recommend you pick a food you like and stick with it for as long as it takes.
i was a real big guy and the bigger you are the harder it is, but remember the bigger you are the quicker it goes.
at one stage when i lost over 4 stone, i went onto losing nearly 20 lbs in one week as i had so much energy because my weight and cholesterol wasn't a factor. that week i must have done over 40 hours of exercise.
you WILL have to arrange an eating plan for when you want to come off this diet as you do pile the pounds back on. but my weight has stayed off and it was all my own plan and routine.
