If you are very thin, you cannot do this. Yes, your body fat will decrease, and this will also give you more muscle mass, but it will not increase your weight. You will just get much thinner. Big Joe was 'big' to begin with; we are not. To get same results as Big Joe, you must first gain weight, and then concentrate on losing body fat later. Joe had size; he just needed to trim down. We do not have size to work with, so we have to force our bodies to grow beyond our body's comfort range. This is hard part.

This is why if you want to grow beyond your current size, you have to diet for it specifically.

Remember, most of you have extremely fast metabolisms. Gaining weight will be extremely difficult.

---------------------------

The only way you will get bigger is to shock your body.

---------------------------

You must shock your body by:

1. Training with heavy weights, and

2. Eating a lot of calories.

The first shock is with weight training. You must focus on compound free- weight exercises, and lift heavy weights, which will stimulate largest amount of muscle fibers. Your body responds to this stimulus by increasing your muscle mass.

The second way we must shock our body is by eating more calories than your body is used to. This is most important factor in gaining mass. When you overload your system with plenty of protein and fats, your body has no other choice but to gain weight.

If you are skeptical, it's understandable. I probably would be also, after all I've been ripped off many times myself! Make sure you check out many successful users who were just as skeptical in beginning. See what they have to say here: http://www.fastmusclegain.com/skeptical

If cabbage soup diet works at all, it is because base foodstuff is low cal. This restricts your calorific intake, while simultaneously filling you full of fiber and filling your stomach which lessens hunger pangs. The cabbage soup diet claims you can lose up to 10 pounds in a single day, which is dangerous to extreme, and definitely not regarded as safe practice by doctors. As a 'crash' diet, initial weight loss tends to be mostly water, which is, of course, rapidly replaced. At www.supadiet.com, we therefore believe that as a long term solution to losing weight and keeping it off, Cabbage Soup Diet probably has rather marginal utility.

Should you try it? If your doctor has no objections, and you have a mild fetish for cabbages, and an air-conditioned house, feel free. Otherwise, you will probably be better off following a more health-orientated diet.
