The Cabbage Soup Diet Review

Anyone who wants an explanation of the cabbage soup diet can have one - BALONEY.  Anything else is just a lot of noise. But in case you’re curious here is some more information.

The inventor of the cabbage soup diet isn’t known. It was one of the diets faxed from machine to machine in the early 1980’s. The diet went under many names, often using a part of the name of a well respected institution such as the Russian peasant diet, or the St. Jude’s diet. Any suggested relationship to these institutions is false.

The cabbage soup diet calls for drinking nothing but water or unsweetened fruit juice on days when juice is allowed.  A general outline of the diet is something like this.

Day one — cabbage soup plus as much fruit as you can eat, but no bananas.

Day two — cabbage soup as usual, and vegetables including a half baked potato without butter.

Day three — cabbage soup and any vegetable or fruit except bananas or potatoes.

Day four — enjoy the daily Cabbage soup plus up to eight bananas and skimmed milk.

Day five –  cabbage soup and as much as 20 ounces of beef, as well as 6 tomatoes.

Day six — cabbage soup, unlimited beef, and any vegetables except potatoes.

Day seven — Along with cabbage soup eat brown rice, vegetables and unsweetened fruit juice   no potatoes.

The cabbage soup diet claims that people can lose 10 pounds in only one week.  What the diet doesn’t specify is that most of that weight loss would be water. A week is simply too short a time in which to lose 10 pounds of fat. What the cabbage soup diet could accomplish in a week is to make someone sick from eating poorly.

In addition the cabbage soup diet isn’t easy. That isn’t to say that it’s complicated, but cabbage soup seven days in a row can be quite bland and boring. Quitting the cabbage soup diet after only a few days was common. There were even attempts to spice up cabbage soup recipes but they failed.

You don’t have to turn to something goofy like the cabbage soup diet for weight loss. Exercise more and cut out calories in order to accomplish a goal.
