Love this dinner also, my mom used to put a whole piece of bread, preferably the crust, on top of the whole dinner cooking to absorb the smell of the cabbage. That was the one complaint in my home, although they loved the whole dinner, they would start, "Eeeew, it stinks in here!" So the bread helps a little and you just lift it out at the end, surprisingly it stays intact, and it still smells yummy - with mustard for the beef when it's done.

Has anyone ever tried the cabbage soup diet and if so
did you stay on it longer than a week, what sort of weight did you lose, tell me how you varied the soup, did you use herbs, etc. to change the taste, etc. Oh before being flamed for the staying on more than a week, know it says to stay on only a week but others probably did not go along with this. Thanks everyone!
Cabbage soup diet
I first read about this diet about 35 years ago, as it was published in a popular womans' magazine. So, it has been around a long time. I tried it for a week, lost 5 pounds, gained back the weight as soon as I started eating regular food again. I decided that it is a good side dish as part of a well-balanced reducing diet. But, it can never work as the only food that I eat on a daily basis. For one thing, I have to have sufficient protein or my diet doesn't last long. And what I really want is a plan for life that will help me maintain a good weight once I reach it, without feeling deprived. I find that canned tuna fish is a good "diet" food because of being low in fat and pretty high in protein and convenient. Any fish is good as far as that goes.
Posted about cabbage soup diet earlier
I made the soup yesterday and along with what it calls for added additional bellpeppers, garlic, lots, coriander (spelling?), parsley and both chunked up tomatoes and whole tomatoes. It is absolutely delicious and filling. Ok, not even 11 a.m. yet and I cooked some turnip greens this morning and ate some already (today is the vegetable and soup day). This diet is being used as a bridge for me as next week when I am not supposed to be on the diet, I have been setting up meals such as fish, lean meats and loads of vegetables, not fried for this week coming up. I had tried this diet some years back and like 1 of the posters, found it completely unpalatable but then again did not try the various spices like I have this time. Hope I am on my way to the XXXX amount of weight I need to lose!!
Rice would probably work. I use a recipe with rice for stuffing peppers and cabbage.
Also, whenever I make meat loaf, I use fresh bread rather than crumbs. I think it's moister that way. But, I also puree a veggies, like onion, carrots, mushrooms, and mix that in, too. It's very tasty.
