I thought the 'cabbage soup diet' my aunt swore by was a joke, but after a week of nothing but soup and a bathroom that smelled like a compost bin, I was the punchline.
I lost 5 pounds in 7 days, but gained it all back plus two more the second I ate a single slice of bread, proving that any diet that makes your kitchen smell like a farting swamp is probably not a long-term solution, right?

Grant.nina, your dog leaving the room made me laugh, but I know the feeling all too well. I tried that diet a few summers ago and my whole apartment smelled like a wet basement for days. The worst part was stepping on the scale after that first slice of toast, watching the numbers climb right back up like I'd never done anything at all.

Oh man, that's the worst! Those super restrictive diets are just torture with extra steps. You lose water weight, not fat, so of course it comes screaming back. Honestly, any plan that makes your house stink and bans bread is just setting you up to fail.

Tell me about it. My own kitchen smelled like a science lab for a week after that cabbage soup thing. The dog wouldn't even come in the room. Gained back every pound plus interest, obviously. Felt like a real genius after that one.
