The cabbage soup diet was developed by nutrition experts for obese patients in cardiac surgery - it is a fad diet and is meant for short-term weight loss of only.
Remember, real weight loss can happen only through exercise and a healthy diet but I would say that the Cabbage Soup Diet is great if you're aiming at losing lots of weight in a week's time.
Diet outline: 1 Tag: Cabbage Soup + lots of fruit.
No bananas.
You can drink tea without sugar and cranberry juice.
Day 2: Cabbage soup + vegetables, 1 jacket potato with little butter or margarine.
Try to eat green leafy vegetables and stay away from peas, corn and beans dry.
Day 3: Cabbage soup + fruits and vegetables.
No bananas or potatoes.
Day 4: Cabbage soup + up to 8 bananas and as much skimmed milk as you want.
This day should reduce your cravings for sweets.
Day 5: Cabbage soup + up to 20 ounces of beef and 6 tomatoes.
If you are vegetarian, have the ricotta in place of beef.
Drink 6-8 glasses of water today to wash uric acid from the body.
DAY 6: cabbage soup + as much meat / cheese and vegetables.
No potatoes.
Day 7: Cabbage soup and rice, vegetables and unsweetened fruit juices.
No potatoes again.
Cabbage soup recipe: 6 large green onions 2 green peppers 1 or 2 cans tomatoes - diced or whole 3 carrots 1 can (10 oz.
) mushrooms (optional)r
� 1 bunch celeryr
� half a head of cabbager
� 1 packet Lipton soup mixr

Seasoning: salt, pepper, herbs etc - add whatever seasoning you like
Directions: Slice the green onions, put them in a pot and start to saute with cooking spray.
Alternatively, you can jump in oil and oil.
Take the stem and seeds out from the green peppers, cut it into bite sized pieces and add to the pot.
Then cut the cabbage and carrots into bite-size pieces businesses, but also and fry.
Slice the mushrooms into thick slices and add them.
If you prefer a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry and cayenne pepper in this step.
Add about 12 cups of water, soup mix, buillon cubes, cover and put the heat on low.
Let the soup cook for about two hours.
Season with salt, pepper, herbs.
Helpful tips: do not eat balanced meals, since in this period of seven days, you have to confirm the diet with more vitamins and have a minimum of 4 glasses of water a day.
Also, you need to accept the fact the diet will not cause a long term weight loss.
Have you lost weight by diet, you need to measure, what you eat and drink, you may return to the pound.
I would say the diet works like the General Motors Diet in a lot of ways - you can choose which one you are comfortable with.
