I decided to go on the Cabbage Soup Diet starting Monday. It is said that if you follow it you can lose 10-17 pounds in one week. It is not recommended to be on for more then 10 days at a time. I am going to have my grandmother make me a really big pot of the soup and I am going to follow the diet and not cheat. I am also going to continue working out for at least 2 hours a day. (Taebo early in the morning before school and at night around 6...I will also alternate with The Firm). I have read up on this diet and reviews vary. But EVERYONE has lost some amounts of weight. Some have gained it right back and some believe you only lose water weight. But I plan to stick to this diet religously for about 2 weeks, and then just eat healthy for another 2 weeks and keep doing this until I reach my goal. (One woman lost 20 pounds after being on it for 2 weeks, then ate healthy for another 3 weeks and lost ANOTHER 20 pounds!)I will keep u guys posted on my results.

The cabbage soup diet, def. has results, just make sure you stick with it (even if u dont it does not screw up ur metabolism.). Thats the problem I had was sticking to it, but I did lose about 2lbs a day, some ppl could lose more, so about 10lbs per week. Do some excersize, and you should be fine. I wish you luck!!!

Okay good luck, it will probably work btu most likely you'll just lose water weight so... unless you wanna eat cabbage soup the rest of your life adn nothing else it will probably come back. Well... just work hard to keep it off after the diet and i guess you should be fine. Good Luck :D

Wow! My moms friend is not a very open minded person. She is also very outspoken and blunt I guess u can say. Some ppl find her rude, but I just think she speaks wats on her mind. Anyway I told her how I was starting the cabbage diet on Monday (which is when she said she wanted to start doing Taebo with me in the afternoons around 6 p.m.) I was expecting something negative but she TOTALLY recommended it for me. She said that her mother has lost 40+ pounds so far and it lowered her blood level or something (her mom has always had bad heart problems) She said that she is very fond of the diet and is happy that it helped her mom. The only reason she isnt on it, is because she said she cant disipline herself enough haha and she doesnt really like cabbage or tomatoes. But for someone like HER to actually encourage me to do this...it makes me even my excited to start. January 15 I weighed 249. When I weighed myself on February 13th I was down to 226. I was kind of in a slight depression and didnt have too much of an appetite, but then I just started to watch wat I eat and exercise. I am going to weigh myself on Monday to see how much weight I have lost over this school break (I have been doing pretty good by watching wat I eat, and exercising). I think I have basically lost all or most of my water weight though. I feel healthier, and now with this cabbage diet I hope to lose some more weight by my birthday (March 14th). Good luck to everyone that wants to do this diet as well! For testimonials read these reviews: http://www.epinions.com/well-Nutrition-Diets-All-Cabbage_Soup_Diet/display_~reviews

Hey. Good luck to you! its not a bad diet and it works. about a half a year ago, i tried it. and i did lose weight, even without excercising. im sure i would have lost a bunch more if it hadnt been so hard for me. im a busy person and where i am when it comes time for a meal varies a great deal. so it wasnt like i could carry cabbage soup everywhere haha. but anyway. good luck and keep us posted
