Saw this on Yahoo this morning, just thought I'd share! The Cabbage Diet sounds particularly unpleasant

<div>If I did this, I would stop eating all together. Maybe that is the real secret! Make eating so disgusting you just don't want to do it at all! </div>

My parents used to do the cabbage diet. It was awful.

I love this article.  If I was mod, I'd make it a sticky because it explains the negatives so efficiently.

I wish you could!

Diets in general don't work, IMO.  At least not int he way that most people see "going on a diet."

Totally agree.  I refer to my "diet" but only because calling it "this recent change to my dietary needs that will hopefully lead to a positive life-long eating and lifestyle change"... is a tad long and typing "diet" is SO much easier  ;)

Yes, I like the word "diet" as it refers to the diet that you eat.  I know what you mean!

AND?!  Are you ignoring my FB message, Miss Anna?

I tried the 17 day diet. I lasted about 10 days. I was starving all the time. I couldn't keep up with eating all the yogurt (not to mention I hate yogurt!) I also had no energy while I was on this diet - I think because your blood sugar gets so low from not eating. Bottom line you lose weight, because you probably consume 500-700 calories a day. But you will be miserable.
