I came across this book, "The 4-Day Wonder Diet: Lose 10 pounds in 4 days!" by Margaret Danbrot (the same author of the Cabbage Soup diet books). Has anyone tried this? If so, what was your experience with it? Though the weight loss promise doesn't compare with what I'm currently doing, it would help to break the monotony at times of my diet. Thanks for your insight. IP: Logged |

Narcissis, If I were you, IF you have a LOT of weight to lose,I would give the CSD at least a Month, as is! After you have lost a good ammount of weight, and are Bored with CSD, then try these Other diets that you will enevitably come accross. Compare the weight loss, and how happy you are with them, and SEE if they work as well, and if they do, stick with them, and BE SURE to report back to US, so we can do it too! LOL Good Luck IP: Logged |

Maga09, I was only asking for an opinion. I figured since Margaret Danbrot authored The Cabbage Soup diet (though older versions are circulating everywhere) this might be an ok place to ask about her other diet she wrote up before cabbage soup. Not to mention, I see the 3-day diet is used at this forum for a change. Who knew? Maybe someone might be using the 4-day wonder diet for a change too? Doesn't hurt to ask. I was not trying to imply I've never tried the cabbage soup diet. In fact, it's a miracle I can count the number of times on my hand! I've tried the CSD 9 times over a period of 2 years. I will not do it again! It's just not for me, but I'm not bashing anyone who's doing it, no matter what the results. If you read my post, I simply said I'm on another diet and would like to break the monotony from time to time by this other diet if I could continue to lose weight, meaning if the diet really worked. Before I tried it, I just wanted to see if anyone else had tried it was all. I wasn't trying to put down anyone or bash the CSD. I just found your reply to be rude, well until the end where you said if it did work to come back and tell you! *lol* Go figure! Of course you would want to know if it worked, right? *lol* IP: Logged |

magda, you most certainly were not rude. you gave a careful and reasoned response to the poster. the fact that the poster did not write her bio and tell you she had an unreasonable anger towaerd the csd or in fact that she wanted no mention of the csd or that she didn't understand that posters on here are not telepathic is not your fault. also not your fault that some posters seem to have hair trigger, kneee jerk reaction to perceived slights. you are one of the most generous, cheerful and all around great gals on this board. do not let some irrational responses stall you wonderful input. so many of us love and depend on what you have to say and also others of us are just inspired by your humor and success.

I agree Maga09, u were hardly rude. In fact, you in particular as well as Toots & candles have been sucha support & source of inspiration to many. Personally, whenever I am on the diet & think that I will begin to stray, I always tell myself "If Maga can do it continuously for more than a year, surely I can stick to it for this week!" and believe me, I am then brought back to the diet path. I also admire that fact that the three on you have the patience to read thro' every body's post and reply. There are so many times that I feel like posting replies but then feel too lazy and just put it off. Probably people have been dieting too hard & hence are feeling a little irritable & frustrated IP: Logged |

Hi, Being new and all, I've been viewing all of the discussions that have been going on. I came across this one and I just wanted to tell Maga09 that the first thing that came to mind after reading Narcissis reply to your reply was that they were really rude! I just can't believe that Narcissis said all that stuff. I almost feel sorry for them for being so out of line... They should be embarrassed! Bye! IP: Logged |
Just be thankful that you have somebody to refer to and who is fighting alongside you in this battle of the Bulge.
