Can you smoke while on cabbage soup diet?

I'm planning to smoke a bit on my 5 day on the cabbage soup diet. I was just wondering will it affect my diet in any way?



Hi Mark,
is this a joke? We've had this question never before...


Anyway - it depends on the "grass" you are smoking ;-)


I assume you mean cigarettes...from cigarette smokers we know, that smoking reduces the appetite. When a regular smoker would stop smoking while on cabbage soup diet, it would be much harder for him to stick to this diet because of the withdrawel syndroms and additional cravings for food.



That doesn't mean of course that someone overweight should start smoking now only to keep the appetit reduced ;-)



Back to your question - no, cigarette smoking on day 5 or any other day won't effect your weight loss effect.

All the best,
Gabriela
