Purpose of Each Diet Day?

by Roger
(Arlington, Virginia)

I've found the diet to be very successful, for me - dropped 8 pounds the first try, kept it off for a week while eating normally, and now finishing day 6 for the second time. If my results are good again, I'll fit the week in maybe once every second or third month until I get nearer my desired weight.

I haven't really seen this anywhere, so my real question is why are the days set in the order they are, and what are the foods allowed for that day designed to do? In other words, why only fruit on day 1, and what is that supposed to do to/for your metabolism/digestion? Why only veggies on day 2? Why beef and tomatoes only on day 5? I'd like to see the drinking portion of the diet more defined as well- what to drink on day 2 for better results? What to drink on day 6?

Thanks for a great diet. Works for me!

Hi Roger,

thank you for your compliments and congratulation for your diet success so far.

The days are set in the order as they are mainly to keep the level of insuline low (food with low glycemic index). The vegetable days don't contain any fruit sugar. This again helps to release and detoxify the body and avoids hunger attacks.

- Glycemic Index

But you may cheat a bit with low glycemic index fruits on your vegetable days 2 and 5,6,7. For example, an apple has a low Glycemic Index and should't harm your diet success when eaten additionally on day 2,5,6, or 7.

For drinking - the more the better: 2 - 3 litres water and unsweetened herbal teas per day would be great while on cabbage soup diet!

All the best,
Gabriela
