So, here we are at the completion of the first day of this diet. Fruit all day along with as much cabbage soup as I'd like. I have to say, very manageable. I hit the grocery store last night and made sure I got enough fruit to last me all day. I pre-cut everything and that just made it so much easier. Breakfast was no big deal and I even had a snack before lunch. Lots of watermelon and strawberries.
Then came lunch time. I wanted a sandwich with turkey and cheese.... I ate pineapple, more watermelon and more strawberries. Being only day 1, it was easy to keep myself on track, but the desire to want something more substantial was strong. But I mustered through it. I think it helped that I was at work at there was no other food for me to try and consume. Would I be as successful at home with a full fridge and pantry? Hmmm. Not part of this experiment so I'm not going to dwell on it.
Got home from work and decided that I would make the cabbage soup. Holy onions! Threw it all in the pot and let it steam away. While waiting, I continued to eat more fruit; blueberries were quick and easy. I am typically not a fan of cabbage soup, but I was actually looking forward to eating something other than fruit. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed a bowl full of soup and polished off a few more strawberries as dessert. All in all, a very successful first day. I don't feel starved and actually look forward to trying all veggies tomorrow.
The soup is something I can eat everyday, and as much as I want, but I wonder just when that limit will be hit. Cabbage soup every day for a week? The thought is sickening. We shall see.
