    1 Star Cabbage Soup Calamity 03/06/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bloating, wind, pain, IBS, possible loss of friends

    Perhaps I should begin this review with a ‘warning’ that it may perhaps, at times contain references to bodily functions, which some readers may find disturbing. If you now want to continue to read about my unfortunate and regrettable experience with the infamous ‘Cabbage Soup Diet’, then please feel free to read on. Approximately three years ago I decided to experiment with my own version of the Cabbage Soup Diet. We were fast approaching a family holiday to Orlando, Florida and with only five weeks to go, I’d had no success in shifting the excess weight I felt I needed to lose in order to ... more

    5 Stars Cabbage Soup Diet...For the Brave!! 14/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great way to loose weight

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hard to resist temptations from the normal world of food

    My version of the soup diet is quite interesting as well as funny. I started getting interested in the soup diet after watching my father eat it and moan about how hard it was. i always told him how easy it must be just to eat soup and follow a simple plan without worrying about what to make for dinner or supper all the time. He wouldn't let me do the diet because he insisted i didn't need to (i didn't really because i was in ideal shape...honest!!). Anyway i still kept nagging him every time he moaned about how he wanted to eat other things. I did taste the soup on several occasions whilst he ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None avoid it

    I am a yoyo dieter and have tried most diets over many years. I tend to try the low calorie method the most and was intrigued by this cabbage soup diet that is very low calorie. The soup I have the recipe for, which is enough for three portions is made from 3 onions, 1 green pepper, 1 head of celery, half a cabbage, 2 tins chopped tomatoes, 1 pack of onion soup mix and three pints of vegetable stock. The diet claims to lose you up to 10lb in 7 days and an intake of about 800 calories daily this more or less guarantees it. Most people are confused about the diet and many do not know that you ... more

    Having read the other cabbage soup write-ups, I thought I'd add my own, so here goes! Cabbage Soup Recipe Ingredients: 6 large onions 2 green peppers 2 cans of chopped tomatoes 3 Carrots 1 bunch of celery Couple of bunches of watercress (adds flavour) A cabbage (surprise!) A couple of vegetable stock cubs. 1 can V8 juice (optional) Garlic, pepper, parsley (whatever herbs you like - chopped chillies are always good) Optional: mushrooms (but I find they go soggy) Can/bottle of V8 juice (adds a bit more flavour) Other veggies can be added (for example, I know there's a lot of celery-haters out ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages You lose weight easily

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no alcohol, no chocolate

    It was 2 years ago that I thought, 'I want to lose some weight.' At that point I never needed to, but every eighteen year old wants to be slim, sexy, and fit into outfits that even Victoria Beckam couldn't. I tried everything in the book and then miserably phoned my boyfriend whinging, "Nothing's working, hmmmph!" As much as he tried to get me to eat normally he couldn't, so that's when his mum, a nurse at the local hospital advised me of a diet that would make me lose that 1/2 stone in a week! I was so excited at the idea, 1 week of dieting and I can eat again!! So I rushed to grab a pen and ... more

    2 Stars Would you like an air freshener with that madam 11/06/2003
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Does help you lose weight, cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages wind

    I am sitting in my little dining-room with all the windows open. It isn't particularly hot in here but I am forced to let some fresh air circulate through the place. No one wants to sit here with me. Why? The Cabbage Soup Diet. If you want have friends, relations, or colleagues near to you, then don't even go there! This diet causes severe flatulence. No other description is needed here...imagine. This diet is based on low calorie intake and some users have claimed huge weight losses of 12-18 pounds in a week. I'm not convinced that this is possible and I am also concerned about the safety of ... more

    5 Stars i did it so can you 20/09/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages rapid weight loss in 1 week

    Disadvantages Disadvantages wind!!!

    the cabbage soup diet is great, I lost 16lb in one week, all you have to do is stick to the strict regime for a whole week and you lose between 10-18lb! This diet was developed in hospitals for overweight heart patients who needed to rapidly lose weight because of their condition. No hospital has yet claimed the diet as their own, therefore allowing us to use it. All you have to do is eat as muc cabbage soup as possible in one day and planty of water, as well as the food and drinks which vary from day to day, see below. The diet is great, you do fell slightly meore tired than usual, but for ... more

    4 Stars CABBAGE SOUP DIET 08/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages You will lose weight after following this diet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Short term side effects can include headaches, weakness and decreased concentration

    When I was sixteen my dad was on the cabbage soup diet, so i decided to give it a shot. I thought that it tasted delicious (you will too if you like soup... if not dont try it). I kept eating the soup for about three weeks and amazingly lost 12 pounds (mind you i was in pretty good shape to start with and was vigorously working out). The only down side to this diet is that you cant stay on it and once you are off you must eat healthily or you WILL gain your weight plus some back. Even if the cabbage soup diet isnt for you... and you want to maintain your weight i would recommend having it as a ... more
