That seems to be a derivative of the famous cabbage soup diet. Works brilliantly short term, but as soon as you start eating normally (which you will !!!!) the weight goes straight on. It was originally devised for patients who needed drastic weight loss prior to operations I believe.

right thats the one! i start tomorrow!

Can you actually cook Paul (H)?

yeah thats the problem! im actually a good cook and like to experiment with different sauces and toppings and things. trouble is theyre all fattening! and of course late night i compensate for loss of ciggies with cheese and crackers! lol! x

My son is a very large man and needs to lose a lot of weight, he lost ten kilo on the soup diet it showed him how much better he is with some weight off, is now on a more balanced diet, it gave him the start he needed.ANNABEL

Everyone I know who has 'crash' dieted has put the weight back on afterwards! A friend did the Atkins Diet and lost loads, but it all went back on, plus more! Good luck anyway, only diet I know that works is: 1. Eat less 2. Exercise more (for ever!!)

Atkins is quick, but not healthy to do for very long! Anyone a Peter Kay fan? He knows how to lose 13 stone in a day!!!!

Laura - PMSL '13 stone in a daaaaay'

just been on the net about that soup diet. it says one of the side effects is 'excess gas!' so if you read story in the paper, headline: 'tidal wave in centre parcs sweeps away sunbeds,' its me!! lol!

Paul, LMHO - The only way you'll lose 2 st in 3 weeks is to cut off your head, arms and legs! You'd lose most by padlocking the fridge, freezer and microwave, then throwing away all the pizza, curry & Chinese delivery flyers by the phone. Cut the landline to your home phone, throw away your mobile and car keys, so you can't go and buy any food, and just drink water from the tap. You'll also weigh less if you wear lightweight clothing and no shoes or jewellery - and have your head shaved! Best of luck, CB >|< X

lol! and get the local pub to ban me!

Paul, Looks like you'll just have to accept your fate - or your fat! LoL CB >|< ;>)))

ok so 6 pints = 6 bottles of wine. breakfast, king - legs of lamb, hog roast, chicken. (henry 8th!) lunch. same but less. tea. loaf of bread. i can do that! lol!

paul cut out the beer might be a good thing and cut down on the carbs.also exercise might helpxxxxxxx(:

Paul, my boss tried the south beach diet and it really worked for him. In addition, when my brother was trying to lose weight, he rode his stationary bike for 1 hour a day and lost a LOT of weight. Good luck.

paul no choccy biscuits eitherxxxxxxx(:

Paul, Get yourself a REAL GOOD stomach bug! That will take the weight off, loose a stone in 3 days!! Sorry doll! :-)) lol Good luck & have a great time Kim x

I doubt if you will be able to lose so much in such a short time, but you could get a bike and cycle everywhere so that you will burn off some calories and be ready for Centreparcs' cycleways. nell
