I was a kid in the 90s/early 2000s, and I can remember my mom CONSTANTLY drinking slim fast. 25ish years later… she’s still struggling with her weight. When i gained a little weight in my mid-twenties, I thought weight loss looked like what my mom did way back when… obviously, this isn’t the case. So thankful for channels like this that model healthier eating/exercise habits… I would’ve never gotten to where I am today (40+ lbs down, well within my healthy weight range for my height and age) without them.

My mother also did the cabbage soup diet. But the version she was doing included meat, so it had more flavor and protein. She ate a bowl as an appetizer before family meals, so that significantly reduced her "normal food" and calorie intake. I think that is more sensible than to just eat cabbage water the whole day.

Had to have a good laugh at this. I remember my mother going on all these fad diets. I loved the cabbage soup but didn't eat it to diet. More like as a snack.

Think the one thing I did use was baby yogurt and fruit pots for when we weren't home and ordered them creamed spinach and pumpkin and restaurants.

When my mom found out, which thankfully was sooner rather than later, she had a sit down with me and explained it to me, I was probably ten or eleven at the time.

Ever try carnivore? It is the appropriate, species specific diet. We are built to be hypercarnivores, eating primarily meat with occassional tubers and fruit when in season.
