11/28 - Sacred Heart Diet - who's in?

Howdy, I tried it a few weeks ago and the soup wasn't bad but I quit after the 4th day and I did lose 5.5 lbs while on it for the 4 days.I wouldn't use it long term but it does give you a motivation boost,my mistake was doing it 5 days before EASTER and thats why I failed and ate and ate and ate.Goodluck Tammy
 
Starting tomorrow

Hi,

I'm new to the group -but I'm making the soup right now and planning to start the diet on tomorrow.

Lee:)
 
i did this, lost 9.5lb , gained 5 lb back within 2-3 days. and i had trouble sticking with it and sticking back on the original diet afterwards because i was so deprived.

I wouldnt recommend this diet at all.
 
Well I started Saturday. Haven't lost a darn thing yet. The soup is actually not too bad. I'm even able to manage the tomatoes in it. Hoping to see a loss tomorrow. If I don't lose anything this week, I'll be pissed. Not because I wasted my time on it, but because I'll have to listen to my husband making fun of the diet.

I have found that I have been peeing a lot, but surprising the BMs haven't increased. An upside to statring this weekend, was that I didn't have my regular weekend gain. So perhaps tomorrow I will be showing a loss. Haven't really felt deprived. I've been sticking to the diet. I haven't cheated, alothough yesterday I really wanted to. We were over at my in-laws in the afternoon, enjoying the sun, and I declined an alcoholic beverage. Boy did I get strange looks. They know I don't drink a lot anymore, but it was a beautiful day and we were chillin on the deck. Drinks, deck and sun all seem to go together. Then while we were getting supper ready, my husband and son were munching on chips. It was driving me crazy. But I stuck to my guns and will reap the rewards!

Saturday I felt alright because if I had a craving for sweet, I was able to eat fruit. Sunday was a struggle, because I kept wanting to eat fruit. Today should be okay, because it's veggies/fruit/soup.

I'll keep you all updated.

Sorry to let you all down, but I have officially dropped out of the SHD.

Too many things stacked against me this week. I realized, after not losing anything and getting crampy, that I start TOM next week. That would explain lot of it. I ran out of soup yesterday, as well.

To top it all off, my Aunt passed away early yesterday morning. I found out at work as soon as I got in. She was very sick. Had been battling cancer for a long time. So being the emotional eater that I am, I didn't fair so well last night. It wasn't horrible binge, but it obviously didn't follow the diet. When I woke up this morning, I felt kind of lost. Didn't know what to eat. No soup left and I wasn't cooking chicken for breakfast. I may try it again when things settle down. I'll just have to make sure that I don't start close to my period.

Anyhow, just wanted to touch base with you all. I'm not sure how much online time I will get this week, witht he visitation and funeral. Take care, and I will drop in when I can.
 
(((2phat4fun))) I'm sorry to hear of your aunt passing away. Don't be hard on yourself at a time like this. You'll get your eating back on track in a matter of days, of that I'm sure. As far as the Sacred Heart Diet (also known as the Cabbage Soup diet) I second Wishes, and don't think it's a good diet at all. I did it a few years back and gained most of my weight back too, it's just not natural. I'm not the most patient person in the world but weight loss over the long term is the way to go.
Take care of yourself!!
 
Thanks 2Skinny.

Funny thing about the diet. I ate normally last night, even enjoyed a small bowl of Reese Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream (the devils food :p ), and I lost 2lbs! Go figure. If there is anything I can take away from this diet, it's that I was able to eat lots of fruit and veggies - which I don't normally do.

No kidding, I remember that too. Loads of fruit and veggies and that is a great thing to come away with.
