Cabbage Soup Diet

Pros: Like everone else said, you lose weight quickly.
Cons: Well, if you're used to a hamburger and pizza diet, you'll definitely get bad cravings.

Ok, let’s start with the positive stuff.  You WILL lose weight on this diet if you follow it correctly, and if you like veggies it’s a bonus. I personally didn’t feel weak or dizzy, but I’m a vegetarian anyway so apart from ...

Pros: none
Cons: tastes terrible, doesn't work long term

This is one of the worst "diets" around. You don't really lose fat. You lose water weight. The so...

Pros: works to lose weight very fast.
Cons: you will get a stomache ache and get sick of the soup really quick.

This Cabbage soup diet is always in question about it's health benefits, or lack there of. I can tell you that if you follow this diet for at least 5 days, even though others state to follow it for 7 days, you will lose up to 10 pounds. I am 28 years ...

Pros: It works!
Cons: I don't like the soup!

I did this diet for about 3 weeks the summer before my senior year in high school.  Okay...so I was only 17...and I was an athlete, so I also was in the gym about 3 hours a day, but I lost 22 pounds and felt sooooo good.  It was the first ...

Pros: Very little appetite, and best of all quick results
Cons: Nauseous

Hello to all! Go ahead, dare to challenge yourself and be amazed of the outcome! I have dieted for many years and had always heard about the Cabbage Soup Diet, yet, I was always afraid to try it because it sounded so bland and strict. One day, I committed to give it a try and face the challenge, I said to myself, " If others have tried this diet, with much success, why can't I give it a try and experience it for myself. Indeed, I started the diet and it was excellent, I loved it. First two days are the toughest, but then it was fun. The soup was good, I added garlic and salt to taste. Honestly, I lost a good 10 pounds in the 7 days, and felt renewed and very energetic. Furthermore, it was the starting point for beginning new eating habits(which are healthier) and the weight just keeps dropping! Go Ahead, Give it a try!

Pros: (1) Good Soup! I wasn't tired of it! (2) Weight comes off (and stays off)
Cons: Banana day was a little tough

Wow, it was awesome. I ended up losing 8 pounds in 6 days. (I couldn't do the seventh day of the cabbage soup diet -- although it wasn't really that hard to keep up with! Just couldn't live without bread). I started eating normally again, and I ended up losing TWO MORE pounds a couple days later. Wonderful! The people who write in negatively about this diet must be eating everything in site afterward!!! You can't do that... eat a sensible diet and you will not gain the weight back. I suggest going on Weight Watchers the day after you complete the week. The Cabbage Soup diet helped me jumpstart my diet so that I could continue to lose more weight.

Pros: quick weight loss; healthy foods
Cons: headaches; gas; quick fix only

I've tried the Cabbage Soup "diet" quite a few times, and that right there should tell you that it's NOT a great diet!

It is NOT a lifestyle change, it's just a "quick fix" to lose some weight...and it's water weight, so as soon as you stop this diet it will all come back.

If you need to lose a few pounds quickly (vacation, wedding, etc), AND don't mind putting it back on, then it's ok. BUT if you're looking for long-term weight loss, then this is not the diet for you.

Pros: It will drop weight, but not fat, quickly
Cons: EVERYTHING!

I literally embarrassed myself on this diet. I am not heavy but have been heavy in the past. Every once in a while, I like to just keep myself in check with a 5lb drop in weight, if necessary. This diet will drop your 5lb load, but be ready for misery. You will be starving. You will get gassy. You will be exhausted and I got a screaming headache from lack of food. My stomach was aching the entire 2 days I was able to stay on it. No joke, you will not be able to "hold" the gas until you get to a more private place to "release". You will become a tootin' machine! I would not recommend this very unhealthy, EMBARRASSING diet. I would recommend though, if you do decide to try it, take multivitamins and Beano!!!!

Pros: The foods allowed on this diet are all very healthy and good for you.
Cons: Gas/flatulence is the norm on this diet.

This is the best diet ever, ONLY if you like the soup, which I do. Heed the advice of previous reviews though - if you can't bear the thought of eating one more bite of this soup after a few days, then this diet is absolutely not for you.

Pros: Lose weight, more energy
Cons: same cons you have with other diets...it is a diet so you feel deprived.

I love this diet have been using it as a springboard for years.  I always use this diet to lose a few pounds quickly.  I ate it like a soup the first time but the second time could'nt get past one bowl so now I puree it with some water in a blender drink it in a 32oz glass with a straw and pretend its v8 juice.  It works everytime.  I never wrote a review before but I hope this helps you.
