So today wasa weigh-in day today and I lost 1.2lb from last week,
A total off4.6 pound in the two weeks. I’m chuffed to bits with this as I have beenlifting weights twice a week as well and as muscle ways more than fat it’s agreat result (not to say that Iv toned up all that much but this will be downto the L-Glutamine the powder that stops you from losing muscle mass). Over theweek the I started to feel the burn and the muscles tightening which was to beexpected and it passed at the end off the week, as the weekend came I had myrest day, I can feel my energy levels rising and today my stamina hadincreased, I jogged alot longer and even ran for a bit at the end and I wasable to up the speed on the cross trainer, its a great feeling when thishappens, and is a result of a my body adjusting.

Food andMeals:
As you mayremember in the introduction I said that I would talk about some nutritionplans that I have tried over the previous year, And this one is ok And Iwouldn't recommend it as a permeant diet thats why I didn't start with it as Imdoing so much cardio I would be drained but don't want to do it the week beforeI start phase two and you will know why soon. now you should be able settle into it and give it ago if at all but the soup its self is worth knowing as itsso low in fat, YOU BURN MORE FAT DIGESTING IT THAN THERE IS IN IT. Im going do it for the week or at least friday as a guidemeaning Ill tell you how and what you need but I will be carrying on with mybran flakes if I need or want them and Ill be having meat with mine more so than mostplans say, the reason is this the faster the weight is lost the quicker it willreturn, but this is a good little plan to know and want to share it with you.
THIS IS BYNO MEANS A LONG TERM DIET.
What is it?THE CABBAGE SOUP DIET.
[1]If you have a special occasion coming up or you simplyneed to lose weight fast, the Cabbage Soup Diet may be just what youneed. Although not suitable for long-term weightloss, the Cabbage Soup Diet is a low-fat, high-fiber diet that will help youget into shape fast before you embark on a more moderate long-term eating plan.
The ingredients are
1. 6large green onions (also called “spring” onions)
2. 2 greenpeppers
3. 1 or 2 cansof tomatoes (diced or whole)
4. 3 carrots
5. 250g mushrooms
6. 1 bunchof celery
7. half a headof cabbage
8. 1 packagedried onion soup 1 or 2 cubes of stock(optional)
9. Season totaste with pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc. (Little to NO SALT!)
Now for thelife of me I could not find any of the onion mix in my local shop so I usedvegetable stock cubes, and instead of the seasoning I spicy sun dried tomatopuree.
When itcomes to cooking it, your going to need a large pot.
Each person may be different and other sites may have manyways to do so like cooking some parts first adding other parts later stir inbits here there and every where me I dice it all up at the same time so thefirst batch is crunchy. I do this because the volume you make will last a fewdays and by the end off the week you will start freezing it, once you reheat itfor the second time it will become softer, and if it becomes to mushy it may beoff putting.
I cut everything finely, some say bite size but I cut thin and small one that it cooksquicker and two when you have a spoon full you get a nice blend of each.
When itcomes to the liquids once again it may differ for each person myself like tojust cover it with stock mix as this is a water based meal the well release thejuices into the mixture during the cooking process.
when itcomes to the spices, I would leave them out to help mix it up, every over bowladd a different spice once its in the bowl so it does not become bland.

The Cabbage Soup Diet
WebMD Expert Review
Thereis no single Cabbage Soup Diet. Many versions of this very limited diet havebeen around for years. A few books have documented different variations of thissimple, anonymously written diet plan, which surprisingly has survived the testof time.
From http://www.everydiet.org/diet/cabbage-soup-diet
Pros
Fast weight loss.
The change from some of ournormally junky eating habits can be beneficial.
Vegetables from the Brassica family(such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower) have been found to aid in preventingcancer.
Many say they enjoy eating the soup.
Cons
Some complain that the Cabbage Soupa little too bland.
Be prepared for gas…
Requires will power.
Lacks good nutrition
Not a long-term answer.
You should be taking your vitamins on a daily basis any way so you should be ok with the nutrients need for the week and 8 glasses of water should already be the case any ways.
