i recently went on a low-carb diet to get my blood sugar under better control and to lose weight. my diet didn’t include your (very low-carb) cabbage soup, and of course, we diabetics can’t eat a lot of fruit, but i did lose weight. after a few weeks i fell off the wagon and am just now getting back on. i suspect you’re right about better hydration being the key to losing weight and having more energy. if you were only drinking 8-10 oz. of fluid a day, you must’ve been pretty dried out! i’m glad you fixed that. i’ve tried low protein diets and they don’t work for me, but if i stay on my modified atkins diet i’ll start losing weight again. glad you’re feeling healthy and happy!

Oh, Susan, I am so happy to see that you are still around. I do not have much visibility as to who is following Strategic Living so I always appreciate a comment. I hope you are doing well and not working as hard as you were last Spring. As you can see, I only post when I have something to share (or something to say.) Life is good.

Hi Gail!! OMG I absolutely love this article and all your suggestions! I’m having the same concerns you mentioned as well as at least five extra pounds still hanging around from the holidays. Not terribly overweight but my jeans are tight & just cutting back is having no effect.
I’m heading out to get some cabbage and will follow all your suggestions.

Still loving your new site.
Susan

The tomatoes add a lot of substance to perhaps you can add some other non-starchy veggie as a substitution. I don’t think they are a magic bullet or anything. Perhaps some summer squash or zucchini?

As far as getting the foofs, as I call it, no. None at all. Shelly, my DH, has not had a reaction to the cabbage either. I meant to mention that in the article.

The other thing is that last night I added some left over ground sirloin to the soup. Not a lot – perhaps 1/4 cups for the entire pot. That added quite a bit of substance and body as well.

I am starting to believe that plain ole water might be half of the magic diet pill equation! Good luck!
