Cabbage soup diet is not recommended

I heard about the cabbage soup diet online. Some people were claiming that they lost a few pounds in as many days. I wanted to lose weight quickly as there was a party coming up and I wanted to look great.

The version of the Cabbage soup diet that I tried is the one where you only diet for 7 days but you have to have cabbage soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It sounded easy but it turned out to be extremely hard.

The first day of the diet was OK. I wasn't too hungry.

The second day was much harder. I was starving and towards the evening I started to feel a bit lightheaded. I knew my body was lacking nutrients but I decided to force myself to continue.

Day three was torture, I began to hate Cabbage and I was extremely hungry and I had no energy. I couldn't take it any more so I stopped.

Altogether I lost around 6 pounds in a few days, but I was hungry all the time, I had no energy and the food was bland. I certainly won't be trying it again, its not worth it.

The weight I lost came back very quickly as soon as I started eating a normal diet, so all that effort was wasted.

When you're finally ready to lose weight...
