Cabbage Soup Diet - Day 1

It is Monday, the first day of my Cabbage Soup Diet. The internet site, where I found the information and recipe, warns that one should only be on this diet for a week, not longer. Other caveats are that some people feel a little light headed on this diet and many people grow weary of eating cabbage soup every day. I am approaching this with a positive outlook. It is only five days and I should be able to do this...hopefully.

Last night I did not sleep well. I woke up in the middle of the night dreaming of deprivation. This is not a good sign. Finally, very early this morning, I fell asleep and slept very soundly until my husband came in asking why I was not yet up.

Normally, I start the day off with a cup of plain hot tea and a slice of sprouted grains toast with butter on it. But alas, there will be no toast today or any day that I am on this diet. Day one consists of at least one bowl of cabbage soup plus all the fruit I want, except for bananas. So this morning's breakfast was a bowl of cabbage soup. My husband was grossed out that I could even eat this stuff early in the morning. Heck, I was hungry and would eat almost anything. Surprisingly, it was not bad for breakfast and 8 ounces of the soup filled me up. I am thinking to myself that this diet may not be bad afterall.

For a mid morning snack, I had a half an apple. Originally, I had planned to eat a whole apple, but I was not that hungry. Lunch ended up being more cabbage soup and the other half of my apple. Wow, now I am cruising along and not feeling hungry. This is going to be a piece of cake, figuratively, not literally.

By mid afternoon, suddenly I was craving some bread and for the first time today, I was feeling hungry. I made some stewed prunes which helped fill the hole that was starting to form in my stomach. Since tomorrow will not allow fruit, I planned the rest of my fruit for today which emded up being a small amount of cantaloupe that I had in the refrigerator along with some strawberries and leftover stewed prunes.

As much as I first liked the cabbage soup, it is already starting to get old. But I will have another bowl tonight for dinner while I watch my husband eat the chicken parmesan that I will be making for him. Along with my soup and fruit, I will be drinking unsweetened herbal tea. Big comedown from the beef roast, potatoes au gratin, and red wine from last night.

Hopefully, I will not wake up dreaming of deprivation again tonight. Only four more days to go if I can stick with this. I hope it works to jump start my weight loss.

    a week and also transform your physique very quickly. Furthermore eating very often holds the nitrogen balance
    of the body high so the body doesn't eat away on its own muscle reserves. We know that muscle mass tissue repairs by itself and grows during relaxation durations but snooze is more essential than waking relaxation intervals.

    Great blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
    I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
    There are so many choices out there that I'm totally confused .. Any recommendations? Appreciate it!

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like
    yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100%
    sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and everything. Nevertheless just
    imagine if you added some great pictures or video clips to
    give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images
    and video clips, this website could certainly be one of the greatest in
    its field. Awesome blog!

    Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard
    work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
