After cabbage soup diet

[iwantmybodyback]

Hey! I did the cabbage soup diet (cheated with three glasses red wine, a handful of sweet pickles and one package of wild salmon and protein on the seventh day-very little rice- the whole week) and lost 6.5 pounds. I decided I wanted to start working out again (really couldn't have on cabbage soup diet- I would have fainted without enough protein- literally) so I looked for an alternative with more protein so I can do Tae Bo (love it!) again. I love the South Beach diet. My tastbuds have been retrained and after that gross soup, eating more normal food is a blessing. After two days on SBD doing Tae Bo I have lost 2.5 pounds. I am so happy this is working- I was getting so discouraged. I gained 20 lbs. in the last two years (or less) and I need to get it PLUS SOME off. I'm glad to have found this forum and hopefully we can support eachother- at least I can read your posts instead of eat.

I did the Cabbage soup diet,,i couldn't make it past the 2nd day! I was starving! but it does retrain your tastebuds, South Beach is great, this is the longest I have been able to stay on a diet in years!
this is a GREAT forum, beats anything i was able to find in yahoo groups for sure
