My experience so far

[rosiewcl]

Hello to everyone on this forum. I just want to post my experience with the cabbage soup diet. I just started it on the July 12, 2009 at a starting weight of 209lbs. I'm 5'3 and don't do much excercise. I followed the diet the best I could with a few modifications. I weighed myself yesterday on July 15th and found that I am now down to 197lbs. So 12 pounds lost already. I weighed myself in the evening of the 3rd day which was Tuesday evening. The modifications I made to the diet was to have eight ounces of skim milk every morning with two teaspoons of whey protein. I also took a multivitamin every morning and one capsules of bee pollen. On the days when I can have fruit, I cut up my apples and raisens and sprinkled ground up flaxseed and ground up wheat germ over my fruit in the morning. The first day I also took two omega 3-6-9 with CLA softgels. But didn't continue with that. I ate more soup than anything else and also ate until I was stuffed. Everything else I kept consistent. I hope this helps to encourage someone. My next post will be on the morning of July 19, 2009 as the diet will be over. However I will frequently check back on this forum to see if any one has any comments or questions. Good luck everyone.

Hi..

Me and my partner are starting this diet as of tomorrow. and i was pretty much dreading it, until i read your post. its encouraged me soo much.... thankyou

Neither myself or my partner do any excercise. No excuses why, and i am going to try and change this..

But by doing no excercise does this mean the diet wont work??


Thanks in anticipation for any replies

Emm............It will work w/no exercise, I can attest to that personally. The weight loss you WILL experience if you stick it out could be a motivational factor in getting yourself and your partner to be more active. I'm feeling all froggy 4 day's in.....best of luck!

Well. we tried it, and succesfully lost weight....... i am so so so chuffed we started on the monday, and stuck to the guidelines.. for the first two days i lost 2 pounds per day, and after that it evened out to a pound a day.. i religiously weighed myself each morning, and when i saw id lost, that would motivate me then for the day ahead... First lot of soup i made, i blended, which i didnt enjoy.. but then we decided to have all chunky vegetables, including lots and lots of cabbage it actually tastes good, and i enjoy it thoroughly its just like homemade veggie soup.. On the steak day, i scoffed and scoffed with beef, and still lost!! This diet really really does work!! for all you guys and girls who are wanting to try this diet, i seriously highly reccomend it... A week later.. and i have lost half a stone.. I feel so so much better in myself, quite energetic in fact. I cant physically see the weight loss yet, bu that doesnt put me off, because i know i will get there in the end. having a week off now, and going back on it as of this monday....thankyou to everyone on here who posted support messages etc, cos that helped me decide o try it.. and i hope my post here today, may help encourage people to try it if they want to best of luck guys and girls xxx
