| Weight Loss | The Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital Soup Diet??? | Aug 23 2007 12:39 (UTC) |

| I just found this thread while Googling the soup diets. Most everything posted so far is true. I'm 55, male, and back in the mid 90's the diet claiming to be Sacred Heart was a cabbage soup diet. I see the soup recipe has now eliminated the cabbage. I went on this in '94 with great success. Successful Slimming Magazine did an article about me in '98 because I'd lost a good bit of weight with the diet and kept it off. I also began a strict exercise program.
The soup diet will work but if you don't make lifestyle adjustments, you'll gain it all back when you go off the diet. My weight loss was aided by walking, then jogging, and I ended up being a competitive long distance runner. I still enjoy this sport today. I've ran 14 marathons and dozens of shorter races. I log about 1600-1800 training miles a year. I still make and eat the cabbage soup a few times a year as it seems to clean my system out. Going on the diet originally helped me lose more weight quicker and gave me the energy to pursue the exercise program. The bottom line is these soup diets work but you must use them as a stepping stone to a healthier basic eating plan and/or a more active lifestyle. |
