The Basics

What is the Cabbage Soup Diet – General Overview

The Cabbage Soup diet is a rapid weight loss plan based around eating very low calorie cabbage soup as your primary “meal” selection. The premise is that you can actually eat unlimited (but be realistic) amounts of the fat burning soup and still lose weight so long as you follow the other meal advice offered in the 7-day cabbage soup diet plan. In fact, there are some claims that the more soup you eat the more weight you will lose, though we believe you should still use constraint and eat just until comfortable rather than overdoing it. (It is nice to know that the diet does allow for eating a substantial amount of food though when you are most hungry.)

In addition to cabbage soup, your daily 7-day diet intake involves water and other fluids and food including meat, vegetables and fruits as shown in the plan. Be sure that during this week that the fruits and vegetables you eat are ones that you truly enjoy for doing so will add flavor to your week and make it go quicker because frankly, 7-days of cabbage soup is a long time.

Does the Cabbage Soup Diet work?

For most individuals, the cabbage soup diet has shown rapid weight loss in the 5-10 lb range in the 7-day recommended plan. It does so by reducing your caloric intake and flushing your body via the food and fluids. For maximum results, it is best to follow according to the plan.

If you would like to accelerate the benefits of the cabbage soup diet, it is recommended to add an exercise program. Then, after the week is complete, transfer to a long-term weight loss system to continue improving your health. The cabbage soup diet will not only help you get a jump start and shed some pounds, but it begin the transition for your body and mind to continue a better, healthy eating plan if so desired.
