Cabbage Soup Diet ok?

Q: I've been dieting and exercising for some time now. I'm on a healthy plan to lose weight.

Here's my question, with the background information I just gave you, would it be okay to go on the cabbage soup diet for a week? I know that diet is for temporary loss only... but what if I pick right back up on my healthy lifestyle? Would the weight still come back?

Mozzy: If you're already on a healthy weight loss plan, then why go on a ridiculous diet like the Cabbage Soup Diet?  Are you trying to lose weight quickly for a certain event or something?  You say that you'll pick right back up on your healthy lifestyle and I'm sure you will.  Some people, however, have a hard time not over compensating (binge eating) once they come off of a very low calorie diet.  And, their energy level is usually low so they don't have the motivation to exercise after eating soup for a week.  Hence, they end up gaining more then before they started.  Besides, you're just going to lose mostly water weight for that week anyway.  It really doesn't make sense.
