Cabbage Soup Fail!

I was not able to finish out my diet this week! I know I know, I am admitting defeat to my long-lasting relationship with food. I am not sure how I feel about the whole "diet".
I am going to point out a few reasons as to why I felt I disagreed and admit I was weak and failed to fast for a week!

1. First and Foremost, I only call this a diet because that's what it is postmarked on the internet. I did this for effects of helping myself lose weight (since I hit a plateau) but mainly, I believe that cleansing diets are important for digestive health. I was once told that your body does not allow things to "get stuck" and you do not need cleanses to get healthy. I disagree with that considering valuable organs get clogged with fat and cholesterol all the time, there is no doubt in my mind that digestive organs wont get clogged or have fecal matter stuck in them. I think it's really important to keep up with the health of all your organs and in my mind a cleanse is for the health of your Poop making system!
2. I strongly disagree with the idea of starvation. I know that a lot of people cut calories to lose weight, but your body at resting state requires around 1200 to function without even adding in the extra of exercise. When you cut below that, your body has nothing to keep sustaining itself and it causes you to start storing things as fat, etc. I decided with the lack of serious calories.... I shouldn't exercise like crazy so my body wouldn't get confused and start storing things that it shouldn't as fat! So I lacked exercise which was not helping me out mentally.
3. It's very hard to do this diet when your partner in crime is very dramatic and feels like the lack of foods is causing them to die. Lack of food causes you to be already slightly moody and to have to deal with dramatics of someone constantly saying they are going to faint/have a headache/ can't go on.... not a fun time!
   

That's just my opinion. Overall, I thought it was great, and I also think I was able to to eat a lot of calories even if it was just fruits/vegetables... you just gotta make sure you keep eating. However, it is also supposed to be a mini fast. And like I said, I don't believe that has good effects on your body!
