I've just shed 15 lbs in three weeks on Atkins zero carbs and sugar.

should be banned, this one - we have enough problems with pinki and her 500 cal a day diet. This will only encourage her!

Cabbage suppose to e a fat-burner? I love cabbage and eat very often, raw and cooked and don't lose weight. Not that I need to though...

I tried it a many years ago over a two week period and I lost about half a stone.

Can't remember the menu but it was something like this: http://www.cabbage-so....com/eating-plan.html

[ummmm]

I thought it was designed for quick weight loss for people due to have surgery. Not as an actual diet.

[Mamyalynne]

Fad diets are not the way, eat healthy and avoid fats as much as you can and up your exercise.

[ummmm]

So they tend not to be recommended...

[tiggerblue10]

It is for rapid weight loss in preperation for surgery but its also used as a faddy diet like the celeb ones.

[tiggerblue10]

I wouldn't recommend it. I've tried many diets over the years and the only one that has worked is the Rosemary Connolly one.

<<avoid fats >>

Fats don't make you fat.

Carbs and sugars do.

Lots of populations have lived on fatty diets for generations without probs such as obesity/diabetes etc

It's the introduction of refined starches, sugar and processed carbs that have done the damage.

Don't bother dieting - simple rule - eat less, move more ! :)

I agree Zeuhl..I've lost a stone in six weeks ,and am on a more moderate low carb diet than Atkins. I am eating meat,fish,eggs,poultry,cheese,butter, olive oil,veg, berries and moderate amounts of whole grain bread and brown rice...and feel better than I have in a long time.
I have a work colleague who swears by the cabbage soup diet-how extreme it is I've no idea,but I know she has protein added to it for one of her daily meals.

My sister went on this diet just after I moved back home many years ago. Bloody house stank!!

Proceed with caution (more for those around you!) ;o)
