I know the feeling! I am so upset, I am unsure what happened to my stir-fry, but it tastes like dung this time! I flash-boiled the cauliflower and brocc. this time. Then added it to the rest. But, good gosh...gross! So, I am nibbling on cucumber. I am unsure what I will have for dinner? I added all my veggies to that. blah.

Oh, well. I am not going shopping unti tomorrow. I guess I willl have to eat more soup! Hmmmm, great.

What is the recommened amount of soup to eat per day to get good results?  The directions say the more you eat the more you lose - it sounds easy but honestly i can't eat more that 1-2 small bowls in one day -

I...Usually have three, and then I go down to 2-3 the last 3 days. I don't see how the more you eat, the more you ose...AHHHH my "L" is giving me trouble! woud (LOLLLLLLLL!) work.

Hiya 10togo!

Thanks for the message - well, I am determined that I will go 'by the book' at least on this first 7 day stint - it's just as my overall target is 25lb I will be having to endure the soup diet for quite a few times, so it gives me hope that if in one of those weeks I add something extra that I should still have a successful week & try not to beat myelf up that I might not lose!

Being only at the end of day 1 & looking ahead to quite a few weeks of the diet can be a little overwhelming - I really do have the motivation though so I know I can do it!!!!!

Speak soon!

I can relate with the caffeine withdrawal.  I was on a cleanse before doing this and we had to eliminate coffee and I had a headache (not all day) for 3 days.  So definately give your body time to react to you taking something it's been used to for so long (atleast in my case) to adjust.  I've been drinking a tea called Yerba Mate, not the best tasting, but the benefits are SO worth it.  I add lemon and Stevia, this makes it actually taste good.  I drink it both cold and hot.  I'm almost "scared" to have a cup of coffee again.  Although I do miss the taste I don't miss the fact that I really needed it to get going in the morning.  Much success to you.  I've got one day down, YEAH!!!  Anxious to weigh myself in the morning.  Instant results, isn't that what we all want!!

Hi All
I started on Sunday too and am only down 1.5llbs this morning - I know its only Day 3 but was hoping it would be more - do you think I will see a difference tomorrow morning? I have cheated at all!!! Had the caffeine withdrawal headache yeserday but much better today - hopefully it will all be worth it!

Thanks, 10ToGo,
today is going to be harder for me because i don't like a whole lot of veggies so i am going to get tired of carrots and brocolli but well see....glad to know someone is here for me...good luck!!!

Hi, I'm Hopeful...Hopeful this works!  Today is my first day starting and so far so good...any tips on what to eat for breakfast so far I've only had an apple and im starving.  Well any tips will be greatly appreciated....Thanks!!

Just eat eat eat, as much fruit as you want! all day long even.

no prob hopeful! just remember after the diet to be just as strict.

Gosh, I really wish I could have cut out caffeine. I have a cup in the morning and a diet soda during the day. I get crabby as it is, no caffeine would just do me in!

As far as cooking goes...I usually make meals in advance so I don't have to cook. I am still in envy, but then I don't have to feel I slaved over somtheing, but didn't get to eat it.

Hypothyroidsm! That stinks! I hope this gets your body on track. Curious, what does your dr say about the diet?

LEE: That is wonderful! And yes you should, but everyone is different. Sometimes not until day 8.

Hello all.  How is everyone doing today?  I think I just need to stay off the scale.  I, of course, was hoping to shed a pound from yesterday's way of eating, but that didn't happen.  I will continue though.  I can't see how this diet would not break my cycle of weight plateau.  I know I just need to be patient and stick with it. 

10togo- How are you doing?  I hope all is well and you are making through each day.  You're on Day 3 right? 

Continued success to all!!!

momluvsthree: OUCH! That is unbelieveable!

Barb: I am well, just tired. I took a nap yesterday, and woke up sooooo disoriented! Yep, day 3. not looking forward to tomorrow. I couldn't stomach the bananas the last time!
However, I agree with momluvs...Results, results, results.
Hang in there!

Just wait, it will happen. Heres to good thoughts! down 1 lb so far!

Hang in there 10ToGo, if the diet is successful then it will all be worth it.  Maybe try to drink more milk and go easy on the bananas.  Or mix it up and make some smoothies, it's kind of hard to do different things when you only have 2 ingredients to work with!!!  I really thought I'd be making more progress then what I am, I'm down probably a half pound.  Maybe I'm not eating enough of the soup, I eat 2-3 bowls a day and I know I get enough water and tea.  I just keep thinking how the next few days I'll be adding meat and that means more calories so if I'm not losing weight in the beginning will I lose it towards the end, ya know???  Continued success everyone.  Barb

Hi everyone!

Great to dww everyone is still going strong!

Lee, I'm sorry to hear that you haven't seen results as yet, but from a lot of the posts I have read a lot of people have been the same during the diet & it's not until the end of the 7 days that they see the loss, so hang in there & keep going you've only got a few days to go now!!

10togo - I hope you are getting through the banana day ok today - you've been such a great source of support for me & many others in the last few days, so we're here for you if you need us & more than happy to listen to any banana ranting you may want to do!!!!!

Barb - keep going girl, you're doing fab!!

Speak soon!

Hiya everyone!!

Well done 10togo for managing banana day - I know this was a tough one for you - you are an inspiration to get through it!!

I had it in my head that banana day would be a breeze, but due to the fact that I am struggling a little with the soup today & knowing I can only have the bananas & soup tomorrow I am thinking it is gonna be a tough one!!

Well I do have to make some new soup sometime tomorrow so I might go for some different seasoning & spices to make it taste a bit different - might make the day a bit easier to face!!

Had a test of courage tonight - visited my Nana who loves to basically shove food down everyones throat as soon as they step in the door!!! She gets offended if you say no, so even after explaining I didn't want to spoil my tea & eat anything she still continued to pile me up with chocolate bars, crisps, a huge chocolate roll & 4 iced buns & told me to take them home for later!!!!!

I brought them home & put them straight in the cupboard - I just need lots of visitors to my house in the next couple of days so I can offload them - I don't even want them in the house for after my 7 days are up, might be too tempted to 'celebrate' with some rubbish food!!!

Or I might just send all the stuff to school with my daughter tomorrow & tell her to hand the stuff out - she'd definitely be the most popular girl in the school if I do that!!!!!!!!

Anyway day 3 almost over & by tomorrow lunchtime I will be half way through - yayyyy!!!!!!

Speak to you all soon!
