Yep. Many years ago. It's not easy but if you want to get a kick start and lose some weight quick it works. I lost 17lbs but is not a long term solution. It did give me confidence in knowing I could lose weight and then I modified eating habits to keep losing/maintaining.

I did it and lost 3 lbs in a week...that's a third of what I really needed to lose so it was successful
...but it was so restrictive I couldn't keep it up...good luck and I hope it works well for you

I did it once. As mentioned by 1Tater, it is extremely restrictive. However, to get the most out of it, I would also recommend doing moderate amounts of exercise and then after the diet, continue exercising and go on a balanced diet. Good Luck!

Hi! yes this soup will hekp you a lot. I have been eating it for 1 week 3 times a day and I've lost 6 kg. So you need 2 tomatoes, 1 big cabbage, 2 carrots and 2 onions. Just chop everything and boil it. Don't add salt, pepper is good.

cabbage = bloating = bad gas. this can cause the departure of people.
I like green peas r green beans r mixed greens in chicken flavored broth. I use bullion cube with hot water to make the broth.
I also like mix vegs ( frozen veg.;s ) in said broth.
keep in mind that mixed greens might cause bath rm blues. Nothing like indoor activitys.

I've had great results on a nutritional ketosis diet. I so prefer it to the taste of that cabbage concoction.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
