I lost 8 pounds. I am kind of afraid to eat now I do not want to gain the weight back. It did kill my appetite which is good.
I was tired, needed more sleep and got headaches. Eat around 3 bowls of cabbage soup a day should I have eaten more.
It really took my hunger away.

Hi Jane,

congratulation to your lost 8 pounds.
To maintain the weight loss or loose even more pounds in the long run my recommendation would be to keep the cabbage soup at hand. Eat it before lunch and dinner and it will help you feel satieted earlier.

Some people feel tired or have headaches during the cabbage soup diet week. This is sometimes due to the detoxification process of the cabbage soup diet week. It helps when you drink more water or tea to purifiy your body from the toxins. Especially on the "vegetable days" you might feel that the carbs are missing - this can cause headaches too. A good tip: Nibble carrots!

All the best,
Gabriela
