Take it with a grain of salt. It just seemed interesting to me when I ran across it. I might give it a shot to see how well it works. It seems to me that it would be a lot of Water weight lost, but they say you can repeat it the next week and get the same results, and can continue to do the diet over and over till you are satisfied. We'll see.

As I sit here eating my 1 oz of baked Cheetos, thinking, should I attempt this diet??? Never tryed any of these new fangled soup diets. But I do know my Hubby would love that soup LOL. OK ya talked me into TASTING the soup...LMAO then I let ya know!!!! Funny hows the diet coming anyways???

This is just like the cabbage soup diet i've done oh about 100 times or so. It never fails, after day one i am already sick of the soup and starving by day 3 and overeating by the next day. I did know one woman who lost over 40lbs as she did it for 4-6 months. I thought she was dying (seriously) and asked if she'd been sick - very pale and just sickly. It will work in the short term but unfortunately you will put the weight right back on plus a few more because your body is starving. The only diet that worked for me ONCE (and never worked again) was the scarsdale diet. I lost 14lbs in two weeks but never ever could successfully do it again. Of course I gained that 14 lbs back + more. DIETS don't work - sensible cutting of 500 calories a day through exercise or food elmination is the ONLY thing that works. good luck

I dont see how you would be starving with this diet when you can eat as much as you want? The soup sounds good and I like veggies....I could really see me able to do this for the one week.

Amy, I think I'm going to try this. Will start when I get back home and have time to go shopping. I keep thinking, I could be 199 by the end of a week on this diet...how I would LOVE that!

Just wanted to say sorry if my earlier email sounded snooty about the diet - i wish you luck, truly. P.s. the only reason i was hungry is cuz i got sick of the soup fast.

Hey Everyone!

I have heard that the cabbage Soup didn't taste very good. I think that is why they kinda re-did & this soup so that it tastes yummy!! I actually WANT to eat it & so does my daughter. My daughter has always been a picky eater & doesn't like ANYTHING, but she likes this!

If anyone is wanting to know, the seasonings I added to my soup were salt & pepper, garlic salt, curry powder & worshtershire(sp?) sauce. I don't have a clue how much I put of each, I just did it to taste.

Mary -I am sure people have gained some of the weight back if they started eating normal again after being on this diet. However, because I have the band, I am hoping that gaining the weight back won't be like pre-band days. Once the week is up, I plan on kicking all the bandster rules into gear & keeping the weight loss. We'll see how it goes. I figure this diet can't hurt anything because it's all healthy foods!!

Funny, I know that you don't have the band yet, so this will be interesting to see how it all works with each of us. We'll be the gineau pigs for everyone else!! I'll test this diet as a person WITH the band. You test this diet as a person WITHOUT the band. :biggrin1: So far, I am lovin' it!!

Here's to another bowl of soup!!!! :hungry:

Just had to add...

This soup doesn't go right through the band like normal soup does. It stops at the band & stays there for a good 3 hrs. I am truly stuffed after one bowl!! I think it's because it is packed full of large vegetables that you have to chew, chew, chew. It's perfect for bandsters to eat!!

Oh it is so full of veggies!! I barely have any liquid in the bowl when I get a bowl of soup LOL I agree that it fills you up and you are good for a few hours.

On the cabbage soup diet (from what I heard) the soup tasted just awful!!! A lot of people thought "Well of course i am going to lose weight. I don't want to eat the only thing I am allowed to eat!" I don't know if that is going to happen with this. Plus I really plan on filling up with the other stuff. On beef days I got me a few nice steaks. Some chicken too. And I got some gorgeous asparagas, some artichokes, a few really nice melons, some papaya and mango... I got a lot of stuff that I know to be full of Vitamins and stuff that would be a real treat for me. And I got nothing canned except for the broth and the chicken noodle soup LOL I like all of my ingredients fresh. I think it gives you more nutrients, and feels better eating it. I had a BLAST making the soup.

The stuff I added to the soup was some basil, and about 1.5 cups of parsley, and some pepper. Thats it. Garlic would be good. I will try that next.

Emily can't wait for you to join us. I mean yeah...this is a fad diet. But my nutritionist has told me that it is one of the better ones out there. You are not limiting calories. Not even intake. You are limiting types of food. And the food you are allowed is really good for you. So I feel ok trying the fad.

That really is the beauty of the band isnt it? You may regain a little when you go back to eating normally but you're not likely to have a rebound 14lb gain or anything.

I must admit, I've been resistant to "dieting" with my band but my weight loss is soooooo slow now, its really frustrating. I'm within a bees dick of really being able to shop anywhere and I just cant get that next 14lb off. I might give this a try too - I've got a formal do on in six weeks and I need to find something to wear. I squeezed my fat ass into a size 14 dress in a boutique today (it was stretchy) but let me say, just because I can get into it, doesnt mean I should wear it!

Good luck to you all, I'm going on vacation tomorrow thru next Tuesday, but when I get back I'm going to give this a try. I'll try and peek in to see how you all are doing.

i hate diets. i remember when i was 10 my mom coaxed me into doing that diet (it had a diff name then) and i failed miserably. it takes a lot of discipline...good luck to all who try it.

I lost another lb. today!! :confused: And, I have to admit - I had some ranch dressing on my salad AND with my veggies to dip them in. I was doing good until I had to go to a dinner meeting. I chose good foods, but wished I had my soup to eat. The ranch dressing was calling my name.

My daughter has lost a total of 3 lbs!

Thank You For Your Reply Did U Have Your Lapband Surgery And How Much Have U Lost And Was It Worth It.is It Hard To Adjust To Thank U.

Hi Are U Going For The Lapband Or Apron And What Is That. I Want To Go For The Lapband.thank U

I think I am going to have to give this a try. I would love to lose a pound-it would put me under "onederland" I guess I could substitute chicken for beef. ( I don't eat beef) Wish me luck.

Good luck Seppi!! And Diane, You are doing awesome!! so is your daughter it sounds!! a2zhoochie, I am having both done, the apron removal (sort of like a tummy tuck) and the lapand surgery. Good luck to you!!

I LOVED veggie day LOL I am such a veg fanatic! And man did it clean me out! HAHAHAHA For dinner I had...get this...and entire bunch of asparagas, a whole cuke (in slices) a large tomato, and a bell pepper sliced up. OMG it was good. I mixed some fat free sourcream and some lemon juice together. Not much, but enough to dip the veg in. Mostly I just used some salt and pepper. OMG it was so good!! And so much too! I was stuffed! I like that today is fruit and veg days. I have something to eat this morning for Breakfast. I am having cantelope and strawberries and blueberries. For lunch I am making a new pot of Soup (DH and I went through it already along with the kids. They love it!)

Now I did not have the potato last night, but DH did. I kinda forgot. So I will save that for next week.

So far it looks as though I have lost 4 pounds on this. I weighed yesterday, and weighed 333. That was down from the day I started which was 335. Today I am 331 (hovering slightly under actually) so I am calling this a success so far. The test will be to see if it continues and if it has such great weight loss next week and the week after.
