Lose 10 pounds in a week and you likely gain it right back. But's it possible to combine what you might call a diet with other steps and get what would be better termed a lifestyle change instead. That might be a way to success with healthy eating and living. Would that work? Maybe so... Can one actually lose 10 pounds in a week. Certainly there are several ways to make the scales weigh considerably less in a week without the most drastic of measures. Following is one such plan and how it goes.
One plan that has been around for quite some time is the cabbage soup diet. The basics of the plan remain the same even though there have been a few refinements as time has passed. This is not in any sense a healthy balanced way to live at all. But it is a short-term way to eat to lose a few pounds in quite a hurry. It is, contrary to what the name suggests, a diet that lets you eat quite a variety of foods and not just cabbage soup. The soup is just part of the plan and serves mostly as a filler and not as the main part of the diet plan. You actually eat just certain foods and only in the order and on certain days as directed.
Here's the eating plan for each of the days for a full week. For the whole time you can eat all the soup you wish to whenever you want to eat it.
To start you eat any fruit you like except for bananas. You may drink unsweetened tea, cranberry juice and water. Bananas do come in the plan in a few days believe it or not...
Then for the second day you take in fresh, raw or cooked vegetables in whatever amounts you like but no fruits at all. Don't eat dry beans, peas and corn either. For dinner you get a baked potato with butter.
Maybe you can see a pattern developing here. This diet works not really because of a magic soup formula, but because of a restriction of calories and fats in particular. The restrictions are somewhat camouflaged by the unlimited amounts of soup, but the restrictions are key and not the soup itself.
Next as the third day menu you get to eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you like but without potato. See the variety of foods to keep it interesting and less boring so it's possible to actually stick with this and not give up? After all it is only for a few days.
Then as sort of a change-up day and an over-the-worst-part day you get the day that makes this plan sometimes called the banana diet. This day makes it clear where that name came from. Today you can put down up to EIGHT bananas plus drink all the skim milk you want!!! Maybe this might not be such a good idea if you have blood sugar problems. In that case, you could repeat one of the other days. Remember the soup too in unlimited amounts, of course.
Then move to the beef and tomatoes day. Consume ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomatoes. You can if you choose substitute broiled or baked chicken for the beef. Then drink at least six to eight glasses of water this day.
Then close to finish with the sixth day and it's the eat all the beef and vegetables you want. Continuing with more soup, but leave off the baked potato.
Finally on the last of the 7 days, finish up with brown rice plus unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables. Eat all you want plus the soup. Notice how you sort of ease into the diet and then ease out.
That's how the cabbage soup diet goes and so the wherewithal to lose 10 pounds in a week. Mix in the variety of foods and it's less boring and easier to stick with than some fad diets are. It's only for a few days and could serve a function as just a part of a more sustainable path to long-term weight loss and a healthier lifestyle based on exercise and better eating. That overall change in lifestyle and habits is of course the real key to getting where you want to be.
