The Cabbage Soup Diet
What is the Cabbage Soup Diet?
The Cabbage Soup Diet is a strict seven-day diet that features eating as much cabbage soup as you like, coupled with an unusual and restricted 7-day diet plan.
The diet is restrictive and in most cases, if followed properly, will result in weight loss. The plan is good if you have to lose weight fast, but this weight loss may prove to be temporary once you start eating normally again.
The Cabbage Soup Diet includes nutritious vegetables and fruit, and it is very low in fat. It is important that you go on this diet for only one week at a time. The cabbage soup diet is far too low in complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals to continue with for longer than this.
The Seven-Day Cabbage Soup Diet
The Cabbage Soup Diet plan. The recipe for cabbage soup is as follows (please note recipes often vary slightly):
- Low-calorie vegetables (cabbage, onions, tomatoes)
