I have also tried this so-called soup-diet and would not recommend it to anyone other than those desparate to lose weight quickly for an hospital operation.

Living on big bowls of soup day-in, day-out is terribly boring. It also does wonders for your digestive system - if you're constipated, that is. If you're not very careful you can start to feel very bloated, nausious and light-headed. This is what happened to me - I kept feeling as though the floor was coming up to meet me. My doctor was not amused...

Basically my body was missing some of the vital nutrients. This is not a good diet for anyone who is not in the best of health to start with. In fact I would urge people not to try it in the first place.
