We Tried It: Cabbage Soup Diet – Day 4 (Going Bananas)
All day Gwen Stefani’s song has been in my head… “Bananas – B-an-an-as”
Banana day wasn’t so bad, but the hardest thing I found was not having my “diet buddy.”
I think over the past few days, the most important thing I’ve learned is that support is everything. Doing a diet alone, the temptations shout out at you. Having a partner in crime to be there with you is a lot easier. My suggestion is, doing a diet, get a buddy!
Again, Karlie and I are only doing this for the seven days. We do not intend for this to be a long term plan. We are testing it out to see what all the hoopla is about. We love your comments, so keep them coming. Also, if you have your own health question for Dr. Manny (our beloved boss), please email them to DrManny@foxnews.com

Day 4 – Menu
Banana Day!
Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day. Remember to eat your soup. Supposedly this day will help lessen your desire for sweets. Drink plenty of water and take a multivitamin.
Creative Creations: Eating just bananas and milk all day can be weird and boring. Try adding one banana with fat-free plain yogurt in a blender with cinnamon and a splash of milk… instant banana shake!
I usually have a couple of bananas for breakfast and look forward to a banana shake (3 frozen bananas, 1 cup slim milk, 1 T Vanilla, 5 packets Nutrasweet, blend till smooth) in the evening.
You guys are not going to like cabbage any more by the end of the week. Keep it up though and let see how much weight you can lose in 7 days. Are there any real health risk in this diet if you choose to go lets say over 30 days??
Hey Randy,
This diet is only recommended for 7 days.
How much weight have you lost? Thanks for the great information on this diet! Does Dr. Manny approve?
Hey there, so far Karlie and I have lost 5 pounds each!
Thanks for the comment,
Melissa
I eat 6-9 bananas a day. I love ‘em and they’re for ya, plus I’ve lost a ton of weight eating them. I call it my ape shit diet.
Isn’t eating just one thing hazardous to your health, aside from having a stricter control on the exact number of calories?
Hey Devin,
Karlie and I are eating our cabbage soup with the bananas, though not together… don’t that would be too tasty! Drinking milk and lots of water too. It’s only one day, I’m sure we’ll be fine! Thanks for your comments!
Melissa
Oh dear. Well, maybe if you try it and report on it then others won’t follow. Thanks for being a test monkey!
I’m allergic to bananas. Is there something else I can substitute for that day?
Hi, I lost 4 lbs until I got to the banana & skim milk day and then gained the 4 lbs back. I did everything I was suppose to do and would have been better off if I would have just eatten a chicken breast & the soup.
