I have never posted to a forum in my life but I had such great success with my diet I had to share. I googled different diets till I came across the negative calorie diet. After reading numerous forums about the concept I also stumbled across a nurse who told of a negative calorie soup fed to patience that were to obese for surgery. The soup appeared to basically be what we all know is the cabbage soup diet... Anyways. I combined these to diets with extreme success. Im a male who is 28 years old. Starting weight 216.
Without going through all the details that you can find on the web here is what i did.
First I make a HUGE pot of negative calorie soup!
Recipe I use:
1 head of cabbage
1 bag of carrots
2 packages of sliced mushrooms
2 bunches of celery
8 medium tomatoes
1 12oz package frozen green beans (or broccoli)
1 large yellow onion
6 boullian cubes or more...
seasonings
Prep: Dice everything up, throw in massive soup pot and bring to boil. Once boiling for about 10 minutes I drop the heat and let it simmer for 3-4 hours... Makes me like 10 servings(5 days lunch and dinner)
Breakfast and snacks are anything off the negative calorie list! I eat apples and oranges for breakfast and snacks are carrots and other fruits on the list!
Lunch and dinner are always the soup!
Weekly plan:
Days 1-4 Negative calorie foods and soup only!
Days 5,6,7- Add a chicken or fish serving at dinner
REPEAT!
Anyways, the result was I dropped 10 pounds in the first 6 days and then lost .8-1 pound per day EVERYDAY after that. I quit the diet after I got down to 196 only because too many birthdays and holidays were around to continue it...but here is the catcher... Ive been off the diet for 1 full month and didnt gain back a pound! Granted I did continue to eat negative calorie foods as often as i could but still did eat my fair share of junk food and drinking alcoholic beverages. THAT is why I felt the urge to tell people of my success is because its the first diet I have done that the weight didnt come right back after quiting. And it in general made me start eating better! Im starting the diet again today so wish me luck and good luck to all of you!
