Wanna Lose Weight?!

So while looking up some information for my nutrition class, I came across this site: www.aboutcabbagesoupdiet.com. Interested? I mean, doesn't cabbage soup diet just sound so marvelous? It gets even better. This is the information posted on the home page.

The Soup Diet is based on a fat-burning soup that contains negligible calories. The more soup you eat the more weight you should lose. It allows people to eat as much Cabbage Soup as they want each day, which should sound appealing to dieters. After all, dieters love to hear that they can eat unlimited amounts of food and still lose weight fast.

The Diet relies on eating strange and bizarre combinations of food that nearly force you to starve each day. Dieters are allowed all the water and cabbage soup they want, plus a very restricted set of other foods.

A running myth suggests that this diet originated at any number of hospitals, but thus far, no medical facilities have claimed it as their own. Consensus is that the diet is effective for temporarily losing a few pounds. However, this is not a very nutritionally sound plan and certainly not one to live on.

Emphasis added. Yeah, this seems like a real winner of a diet, eh? If I was a medical facility, I wouldn't claim it as my own either.
