I just finished my 7th day and I lost 11#. I have difficulty with the banana day and the beef day but if you take your time and make the soup with some great seasonings, it will be very healthy for you and you will get some great fiber and save yourself alot of $$$ doing your own cleanse. I lost 90# last year and since then I keep very close watch of my weight and this soup is a great way to kick start any healthy diet. I wouldn't advise doing it beyond 14 days and even that is a bit too long. 7 days is much more realistic. I would recommend this to a friend.

I have just finished my week and i lost 7 1/4 lbs. Am so pleased, will have a week off and then do it again as i've got a lot to lose!

Myself and my partner are on day 7 of our cabbage soup diet and are very impressed with the weight loss, i have lost 8 and a quarter pound and my partner 9 and a half, we go away next week to Mexico and get married 5 days after on the beach, We both found the first day very hard but with lots of black pepper and sweet chilli sauce in the soup i quite enjoyed it, day 2 was easy cos all day long i was looking forward to my jacket potatoe on the evening, on the days when we could have beef or chicken my partner had steaks but i went with quorn pieces, not that i'm a vegetarian i just love the quorn pieces with ice-burg lettuce and spring onions. good luck everyone!!!!!!

I am 56. I had weighed between 115 and 120 all my adult life. I had been living a more sedentary life since 2005 and got up to 142! I felt awful. I went on the cabbage soup diet and stuck with it completely and the first week I lost 9 lbs. And then it just kept falling off! I kept on the diet completely for two solid weeks and then started adding healthy things in small quantities. I used the CalorieCountAbout.com website to learn what was healthy and that gave me a real education I hadn't had that helped alot. I lost 27 lbs between September and December and have kept it off using all that I have learned. I felt great while on the diet and had lots of energy. I recommend this to anyone with a true desire to lose weight and be healthy.

I have been on this diet for 3 weeks. I have stuck to it and did not cheat once. I have lost 5 pounds. The only good thing about it is I haven't eaten any candy or chocolate which is a big weakness for me. I'm proud that I have cut out the bad stuff and hope I can continue to stay away from the foods that aren't good for me. I wouldn't recommed this diet.

I lost 10 lbs on the cabbage soup diet previously, and I'm now doing it again. It's a great way to kick start whatever diet you're going on and it's a great motivator to see the weight fall off! I love Indian food (spicy), so I add cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, jalapenos, chili powder, cardamon, etc and it's FABULOUS! I use 2 large yellow onions and nix the green bell peppers and green onions. You should all try this diet!!!

I made the cabbage soup like this and lost 14 lbs. I was in my 30's. Now I am in my 40's and trying it. A variation I do is 50% low salt chicken broth, 50% V8 juice for the stock. Also I add 8 oz sliced mushrooms, 3 big cloves of minced garlic and use a bunch of italian herbs. Herbs used are oregano,thyme, bayleaves,marjaram, and rosemary. I use a little lemon pepper and also add about 1/2 tsp peppercorns. I use red and yellow peppers instead of green and half of a poblano pepper. If you have any soup left over it is great with pasta and shredded parmesan cheese. Or you can give that to the non dieters in the family so you don't have to cook twice. Your family also might like this soup with chicken and noodles added.

I am on day six of this diet and I have liked it overall. Day two was the worst, I was really hungry that day eating all vegetables and just the soup. Fruit keeps you fuller because it has more fiber and on the beef day I wasn't hungry at all, just ate three beef patties and four slices of tomato all day, plus some coffee. I am getting tired of the soup. I am 47 and I lost 4 pounds in three days. If I lose 10 pounds after seven days I will be happy. I don't think you will lose the upper end of the weight they say unless you are younger or a male. I would definitely do it again, it's easy and I think healthy.

I just started this diet and its working me over already. If you know what I mean.

I used this diet soup a few years ago and was very happy with the results, and didn't tire of eating the soup, it is very tasty and good for you. Thanks for having it on your site. mamavj44

I love this soup and the pounds just fly off. Make it you won't be disappointed

It is only day 2 for me and I can not stand to look at the soup anymore. This is truely an expensive diet at this time of year to get fresh fruit and vegtables that are ripe since this is all you can eat with the soup. Hopefully all the reviews are accurate and I will loose my weight and this was not for nothing. The soup does not taste bad and it is hard to explain why since only eating twice I want no more. I ate all veggy's today and will have to stomache the soup for dinner. oh yea I can not wait for the baked potatoe tonight. It is like having a candy bar after the last two days. hard diet to follow I think, maybe it will get easier after day 2 with a little more options. shelly

The Cabbage Soup works wonders. I needed to lose about 15lbs in 1 month and I did it in three (3) weeks. I am going to do it again because I ate good and too much over the holidays. If you try it you would not regret it, I promise.

My husband and I are starting the diet today, wish us luck. The soup is awesome!!! Angie

My wife has been making this soup for over 10 years and we love it. It does work. Everyone should try it.

I added jalepenos and some chili powder including the V8 juice. Very spicy and you can't have bread or crackers, so be careful. Other than that, very tasty. I put mine in a blender (I don't like cabbage) and I couldn't even tell. Husband liked the soup, a little spicy though:)
