Ever heard of Negative Calorie Foods?

That snopes article does not say anywhere that the foods I liked are not negative calorie foods. It says that a person will not lose a lot of calories by eating the foods I listed. Eating the foods I listed could still help someone lose weight because they would be eating those foods instead of more unhealthy options.

I like the soup on the cabbage soup diet. I actually made some last week, but I find it hard to actually do the diet part.

Ooh, what's the cabbage soup diet? I'd love to lose that much! I have done WW, and it worked. And, if I stayed with it better, it'd still be working. But, for a quick fix, I'm curious about the soup diet you mentioned. I'd appreciate any help! Thanks.

http://www.cabbage-soup-diet.com/eating-plan.html Day One: Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want (except bananas). Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day. For drinks- unsweetened teas, cranberry juice and water. Day Two: Vegetables: Eat until you are stuffed will all fresh, raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat leafy green vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat all the vegetables you want along with your soup. At dinner, reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter. Do not eat fruit today. Day Three: Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you want. No Baked Potato. Day Four: Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets. Day Five: Beef And Tomatoes: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomatoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef one one of the beef days (but not both). Day Six: Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart's content of beef and vegetables this day. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables. No Baked Potato. Eat your soup at least once. Day Seven: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Again stuff, stuff, stuff yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day.

I think raw is better, but steamed not boiled until limp would still work.

Good luck! I posted the Cabbage soup diet in response number one that the responder mentioned. It is supposed to help you shed weight fast if you can stick to it.
