    I LOVE cabbage, but I prefer mine fried with bacon lardons and garlic.

    Lol any diet with a name is a fad diet. You know what they say about those.

    That diet has been around for years and has a terrible record of success. It's a VLC diet, and you will lose a lot of water weight quickly, but that comes right back when you quit the diet.

    It's up to you if you want to proceed, but don't expect much affirmation from people here about it being a good idea.

    Maybe the cabbage soup diet have their own site, instead of joining a calorie counting site?

    Don't do today what you are not willing to do for the rest of your life. I have no interesting living on cabbage soup.

    It's amazing and goes great with a slice of ham or gammon and a fried egg!

    Per person:
    25g of lardons, I use Aldis = 75 cal
    Pop them in to a dry frying pan, they create the oil, then add the cabbage and garlic.
    Garlic 3g=4 cal
    Cabbage 150g =34 calories

    The cabbage and garlic suck up the fat from the lardons, it tastes lovely.

    My mortgage rate is a fraction of what it was in 1985. I'm staying here, but with no cabbage soup. Cabbage with peanut butter maybe.

    I make a version of this and my children fight over the leftovers. Great way to up the veggie content of a meal.

    No, because it's an unsustainable fad diet. Most likely will be water weight dropped during this period, and you will regain everything you lost during the "diet" once you begin to eat normally again.

    Eat a variety of food in moderation. Cabbage soup sounds awesome, in addition to a well rounded intake.

    Edit: The WebMD summary of this diet is sad. And the foods you can eat on it are sad too.

    My Mom makes a great soup that she calls "Cabbage Patch Soup". I think of it as more like "clean out the fridge and throw all the veggies in" soup. It starts with beef stock, cabbage, and ground beef and the rest of the ingredients vary every time she makes it. It is awesome!
