pumpkin and cabbage soup diet

by Siew Jing
(Simferopol,Ukraine)

Can pumpkin be eaten on the 2nd day of CSD since it's stated that we can't eat it on 3rd day.

Pumpkin is botanically seen as a fruit , it is however mostly regarded as a vegetable.
Go ahead and eat it on day 2 (vegetable day) and day 3 (vegetable and fruit day). All the best!

spaghetti squash

by Susan
(USA)

I am on day 2 of my first cabbage diet. I am thinking of having spaghetti squash for lunch, but it is a starchy vegetable. Do you think I should avoid it for maximun weight loss?


Go ahead and use spaghetti squash for lunch. It contains many nutrients including potassium, folic acid, vitamin A and beta carotene. It is also a vegetable low in calories and fat, averaging 100 calories in 10 cooked ounces.

But you have to prepare it without the beloved butter or oil for maximum weight loss - use instead some parmesan cheese.

Tofu And Squash on the cabbage soup diet

by Joanne

Just wondering if you can eat tofu or squash while on the cabbage soup diet?

Hi Joanne,
Squash is a great vegetable you can use for delicious squash meals and even in your cabbage soup.

Tofu can be used on the "meat days" as replacement for the meat. Don't use it on the other days of the cabbage soup diet week.

All the best,
Gabriela
