Weight Loss Plans Now Blog

I read everything that I find on “weight loss plans”.  Recently, I came across an article about the cabbage soup diet.  You may remember that in my article on my website (http://www.weightlossplansnow.com) I commented on this diet.  I actually tried it several years ago!  I didn’t even know it was still around. Here is what an expert had to say:

For a solid week you get to eat as much of it as you want (along with a few low calorie foods) to help lose 10 pounds.   Problem is that it doesn’t help you manage your weight loss at all.

 How it works is that people lose a lot of weight because of the diarrhea that comes a long with it.  Your aren’t getting any calories.  You also get bloated  from a very restrictive diet.   Your poor stomach doesn’t know what happened to it. So, leave it alone.  You will put the weight back on very quickly too.
