RELATED QUESTIONS FROM OTHERS

Can I substitute nuts or eggs for meat on day 5 & 6? (by Maryam - India)

Hi Maryam, we recommend eggs as substitution on the meat days 5 & 6, but you should limit the amount of eggs to 4 eggs per day - and have your doctor check your cholesterol levels before and after, in case cholesterol is an issue for you. No nuts as substitution recommended.

I do not like Day Seven: Brown Rice Day. Is it okay to substitute it with Day Four: Banana & Skim Milk Day? Which I really do like much better.

No!

eggs & exercise
by: lz

can I have egg whites at any stage?

and could you recommend amount/type of exercise? I don't like going 7 days without (starting the diet for the first time today)... yoga? weights at all or is it too strenuous?

thanks

Hi lz,
no egg whites - exception if you are vegetarian and can't tolerate tofu on "meat days".

Yoga would be great for your overall wellbeing.
But the best what you can do is fat burning exercises like running, walking, swimming or biking. Every morning 1/2 hour minimum would be great!

Weights only in combination with fat burning workouts - otherwise you will gain weight (because your muscles get stronger and heavier)

All the best,
Gabriela

Brown Rice Substitute
by: Anonymous

Is there a substitute for brown rice. I have stuck to this diet religiously. I thought it would be hard but the ingredients made me feel like I was eating very healthy and the soup was not that bad. You just get bored with it. I think it allows you to transition to a change in your eating habits.

weight gain
by: Harriet

I must be the only person in the world who has not lost 1 lb. on this diet and I have followed it religiously. Today is day 6 and not 1 pound. Maybe my body is allergic to cabbage or maybe there are too many carbs. This diet really sucks!!!!!

Can someone please tell me what the problem might be. I have not strayed once!!!!!!!

WHY LIMIT USE OF THIS DIET TO ONCE EVERY THREE WEEKS?
by: Anonymous

Why limit the use of this diet to once every three weeks? If we were living in the 1800's, eating a basic cabbage soup and a bit of meat would be common. They probably ate crusty bread too, but they worked harder physically than we do. Why would this diet be so hard on us?

Sweet Potatoes instead of Bananas?
by: Anonymous

I am not a fruit person... Is there any chance that I can substitute sweet potatoes for the bananas? They are lower in cals, fat & carbs but higher in potassium...

Sorry, we have no experience with this kind of substitute.

Vegetarian
by: Anonymous

I'm a vegetarian, can I repeat Day 7 for meat days 5 & 6?.... not too keen on tofu!!!

The 7 day cabbage soup diet builds each day on the other. We have no experience with your suggestions, but it ressembles a 4 day cabbage soup diet in combination with a 3 day rice diet. Check with your doctor, if he allows it, then go ahead and try. Please be so kind as to post here your results. Other vegetarians might be interested too and will profit from your experience.

All the best,
Gabriela
