Cabbage Soup Diet Reviews

Ah! I have fond memories of the cabbage soup diet. All those pans full of green soup brimming like a witches cauldron. The noxious odours travelling throught the atmosphere both from the soup and the recipients. The hours spent contemplating ones Navel whilst sitting in the littlest room. An inevitable result of gallons of soup. I firmly believe ...  Read the complete review

From what I can gather there are variations of the soup and the diet. This one was received as part of an e-book from EBay with other weightwatchers stuff. January 2008 - I was a Size 20, I was 17 stone (5'9"). I was miserable. I had always been overweight and promised myself I would sort my life out. I didn't and just got bigger. ...  Read the complete review

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.

I have to confess that I have tried this diet two times, even though deep inside myself I know that this is not a long term answer, I am not overweight, but often feel the need to lose a few pounds especially when it’s summer and you can no longer hide behind the big jumpers. I first came across this diet when a friend of mine was ...  Read the complete review

Having brought to light my morbid fear of leeks last night on the Doos, I was just flicking through the latest ops this evening when I came across one written on, of all things, a cabbage soup diet - how could I resist..... Now, as diets go, the cabbage soup thingy must be one of the most effective - after all, if all you have to eat is ...  Read the complete review

My wife was informed by a Canadian relative that the only way to cleanse your body and lose weight safely was to take on board the cabbage soup regime. So the veg was purchased, prepared, cooked and eaten for a few days. During this time the house took on the aura of a cabbage in a plastic bag that has been left for weeks and opened inadvertently. ...  Read the complete review

I've read a lot of comments on this and would like to add my musings on the subject. Basically it has to be used as a tool, and if so it can have remarkable results. What it does is remove your reliance on starchy foods and lets you know that you can survive without huge amounts of bread and pasta- it clears out your system- and ...  Read the complete review

Lost 10lbs in week 1, 6lbs in week 2 and finally 2lbs in week 3. I started at 13 stone and was under 12 in three weeks. I stuck to the diet rigidly (though I seem to remember leaving out any sweetcorn). All in all I thought it was GREAT as a sort of confidence booster proving to yourself that it was possible to make the scales ...  Read the complete review

For those who want to lose weight and keep it off, the cabbage soup diet is just for you. For those of you who don't believe me, try it and see.

Try it for a week then ...  Read the complete review

Reading the reviews already written by people on Dooyoo about the Cabbage Soup diet, there seems to be a lot of strong feeling about how it affects your health, as well as your weight. First of all, what is the diet? The Cabbage soup diet is specifically for obese people. It is fat burning, and should not be used just to lose a ...  Read the complete review

This diet could not be considered as a healthy weight loss programme. My mother used this diet for a long while and one day I had some of her soup. Being a vegitarian I love soups so I took some home with me to give the diet a shot. I ate the soup for one day and certainly lost weight, it gives you the runs! This is not a healthy option ...  Read the complete review

However, fortunately i now have a healthier frame of mind, meaning basically ....why the hell should we feel inclined to lose weight ? and fast? Now im not talking about people who have been ...  Read the complete review

The "Cabbage soup" diet seems to be doing the rounds at the moment and we and the neighbours have had a go. There appear to be one or two variations on a theme with regard to the ingredients of the broth that is produced when some unlikely vegetables are boiled together, with optional additions to taste such as curry powder and one ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

My partner has tried every diet going over the past few years and I want to warn everyone about the possible side-effects of one of the more radical diets out there. The diet is commonly known as the 'soup diet' and consists primarily of a home made soup which is supposedly fat burning. I am not going to print the exact recipe or ...  Read the complete review

I've tried many diets over the years and when I discovered this one a few years ago it seemed to good to be true - it was. The recipe for the soup varies slightly depending on where you look but all of them produce a dull, boring, fairly tasteless soup. I managed to eat it the first day as it was different but from then on trying to force ...  Read the complete review

Of course this diet 'works'. If you don't eat enough calories you lose weight. This is important if you're about to have major surgery but just because a hospital uses it doesn't make it healthy for non-pathological patients. It is in effect a starvation diet with vitamins and fibre to keep your gut moving. As a method of ...  Read the complete review

The cabbage soup diet exists in various forms, but the basic idea is that you can eat as much soup as you like, and supplement this with well defined other foods. This is an awful diet, which encourages yo-yo weightloss. Yes - you will very quickly loose weight. But you cannot sustain this diet, or this weight loss. Loosing weight rapidly is ...  Read the complete review
