 The Cabbage soup diet is principally a very low calorie diet. It works for the short period of time by reducing daily calories to near-starvation levels.
What is the Cabbage Soup Diet?
Amusingly, no person or organization seems to wish for taking responsibility for inventing the cabbage soup diet. Hence there isn't an "official" politeness report, but various cabbage diet plans based around eating plentiful quantities of cabbage soup.
Asserts made for the cabbage soup diets vary from the ridiculous - to be exact, the cabbage soup itself has fat burning properties – it means that you can lose 10lbs in a week. The diet is often presented as a fast way to throw down pounds for a special occasion and most followers warn that it only be went behind for a week.
What's Involved?
The Cabbage soup diet plan is very strict. The suggestion is to eat as much cabbage soup as you like on a daily basis - enough to keep you full up, so you don't cheat, plus specific additional foods on every day of the seven day diet. No alcohol is acceptable and other drinks are restricted to water, and unsweetened fruit juice on days when fruit is allowed.
* Day 1 - Cabbage soup plus as much fruit as you like, except of bananas
* Day 2 - Cabbage soup plus vegetables together with 1 jacket potato and a little butter
* Day 3 - Cabbage soup plus fruit and vegetables without potatoes and bananas
