The cabbage soup crash diet - the prep

13/06/2011

OK, So I have been overindulgent (to say the least!) over the past couple of months, so I need to do something!
(my work draw says it all!)

I normally do weight watchers every now and again, but I thought this time i'd try something different!

So, I basically googled 'Crash Diets That Work', and found this cabbage soup one.



I bought all the food i'll need to be delivered tonight (Monday), and I am going to start it tomorrow.

This is the plan for the week:

Cabbage Crash Diets

Soup recipe:
The cabbage soup crash diet can be eaten any time you get hungry, and you can eat as much as you like so is an ideal fast weight loss diet for those who like to eat a lot.
Ingredients:
1. 6 Large Green Onions
2. 2 Green Peppers
3. 1-2 Cans Diced Tomatoes
4. 1 Bunch Celery
5. 1 Package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
6. 1-2 Cubes of Bullion (if desired)
7. 1 head cabbage
Cut vegetables into small pieces and cover with water, you can use V-8 juice also. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt, pepper,parsley, or whatever spice you want to add.

Diet Plan:

Crash Diets Day One:

Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want, but you can’t have Bananas!! Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day. You can drink, unsweetened teas, cranberry juice and water.

Crash Diets Day Two:

Vegetables: Eat all the fresh, raw or cooked vegetables you want. Try to eat leafy green vegetables, and avoid dry beans, peas, and corn. Eat as much as you want, all the veggies you can handle and all the cabbage soup you want. At dinner you can have a baked potato with butter. You can’t have any fruit on this day, so just stick to the vegetables.

Crash Diets Day Three:

Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you want, but you can’t have a baked potato.

Crash Diets Day Four:

Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

Crash Diets Day Five:

Beef And Tomatoes: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomatoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef one one of the beef days (but not both).

Crash Diets Day Six:

Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart’s content of beef and vegetables this day. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables and no baked potato. Eat your soup at least once.

Crash Diets Day Seven:

Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Eat as much as you can of this. Be sure to eat your soup at least once a day.

Lets see how it goes!! :)
