Cabbage Soup Diet
This very strict, very low calorie diet isn't for the faint hearted. You eat mainly cabbage soup, fruit, other veg and some meat, but shouldn't stay on it for more than week. You can lose up to 10 pounds.
What is it?
The Cabbage Soup Diet is an extremely low-fat, high-fibre diet that lasts seven days. By the end of the week, fans of the diet claim you'll have lost up to 10 pounds. It's only designed as a kick-start to help you lose weight quickly and is not supposed to be a long-term healthy eating plan.
How does it work?
It's simple - you make and eat as much cabbage soup as you want! You're also allowed a combination of different low fat foods on each day, mainly other fruits and vegetables. The homemade cabbage soup has virtually no calories so, hopefully, you'll feel full and still lose weight.

i did this diet and at first it was great, the weight just dropped off, although i did alot of exercise as well, i did the diet a few times with breaks in between. on my last occassion i began to get really bad stomach pains so i stopped, a few days later i collapsed on my way to work. i was rushed to hospital where they told me that i had got a blockage in my stomach as the diet had stopped my gall bladder working properly, i was treated for toxic shock and spend 15days in hospital, it took me another month to recover after at home and 4 months later i had to have my gall bladder removed as another blockage developed, even tho i had no done the diet since.- my advice is the diet really does work well, but there is a change of problems occuring!
