Quick weight loss "jump start"?

I use frozen veggies, including chopped spinach or kale, baby peas, sweet corn, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, soybeans, okra, and fresh chopped cabbage, onions, and garlic. I add herbs de provence. Then I just eat this whenever I'm hungry and until I'm satisfied, and skip the other stuff for a couple of days. Delicious, nutritious, filling, and seems to trigger some normalizing of fluid retention.

This reminds me of the cabbage soup diet (7 day) - though this soup sounds much better. The cabbage soup diet you eat as much as the soup as you want.. I tried it when I was (looking back now) skinny and lost 2 lbs.. but everything I read about this diet now is that it's unhealthy or not good..
