How long does it take to grow bok choy?

Under a minute as a rule of thumb. It depends on the heat of your wok or skillet (should be very hot), and the size of the pieces you are cooking...Generally it cooks quickly because it is traditionally eaten "crisp-tender" when stir fried. As a point of reference, starting from raw (and should be very fresh and not limp) pieces cut 2"x2" in a very hot wok (a drop of water skips across the pan), would cook in about 30 seconds to 1 minute. You can tell it is ready to eat when the green leafy parts turn slightly darker and the fleshy part starts to look a little more transparent...but stop cooking before it becomes limp. It will continue to cook some when added to the dish with other hot ingredients or if allowed to steam itself in a bowl before serving. Don't plan to cook it ahead of time, cook just before eating. It would be good to practice with a few pieces first to see how your heat and vegetable are reacting...bite a piece and see if it is still "al dente". For larger pieces only slightly longer cooking times will probably be needed. It will cook very quickly in smaller pieces. These cooking techniques are typical for most vegetables used in stir fry cooking. Carrots, broccoli, large pieces of green pepper or onion will take slightly longer. Broccoli will turn bright green when ready. If you won't be using the cooked ingredients immediately, you can stop cooking a little early, plunge them in ice water the second they are done, and hold to toss quickly to reheat, don't hold this way very long, however. If you want all your veggies to cook in the same amount of time, you can blanch the ones that take a little longer to cook ahead of time (like broccoli). To blanch put into rapidly boiling water just until the color begins to change, about 30 sec. and plunge into ice water to hold until ready to finish cooking along with the raw ingredients.

Is the cabbage soup 7 day diet good to go on with Diabetes?

Absolutely not.

The cabbage soup is not a very healthy diet to follow. It lacks most nutrients that your body needs. It does not have proteins, very little carbohydrates and a whole bunch of vitamins. However, a low carbohydrate diet seems to improve diabetes but usually Adult onset diabetis, the one that you get later in life and not the one you are born with. The best thing for you to do is consult your doctor. Also it depends if you control your diabetes with insuline or thru diet alone. There are other ways to shed pounds fast. The only set back with shedding weight so fast is that you will get the "bounce back effect" which means you will get your body into starviation mode and when you stop the diet and go back to eating normal, your body will store everything you put in, as if it was preparing itself for the next famine. I have found ways to counteract the bounce back effect and it is after you get off the diet, get off it slowly and prepare to exercise like mad until your metabolism settles again. If you want to shed lbs fast, look this product up, it is called the cambridge diet. Or you can buy this book called "fit for life" but it involves hard work.

I would ask your doctor all of this before embarking in an unhealthy diet.
