    Ok, I know nothing about the cabbage soup diet. That being said, I have an idea what it may be about. Is this diet where all you eat is cabbage soup. As much as you want, anytime you want? If so, why go that route to lose 10 lbs in 7 days just to gain it back after you start eating regular food. Throw that junkie diet out the window and do it the slow and steady route. Cut your portions, exercise a little and keep the weight off for good.

    You can eat all the cabbage soup you want..Here is the day by day plan...

    Home • Cabbage Soup Recipe • 7 Day Plan • Experiences • Health

    Remember: This diet should only be followed for 7 days at a time, with at least two weeks in between.


    Day One:
    Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want (except bananas). Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day. For drinks- unsweetened teas, cranberry juice and water.

    Day Two:
    Vegetables: Eat until you are stuffed will all fresh, raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat leafy green vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat all the vegetables you want along with your soup. At dinner, reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter. Do not eat fruit today.

    Day Three:
    Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you want. No Baked Potato.

    Day Four:
    Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

    Day Five:
    Beef And Tomatos: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomtoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef one one of the beef days (but not both).

    Day Six:
    Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart's content of beef and vegetables this day. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables. No Baked Potato. Eat your soup at least once.

    Day Seven:
    Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Again stuff, stuff, stuff yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day.



    Here is the recipe

    Cabbage Soup Recipe

    6 large green onions
    2 green peppers
    1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole)
    3 Carrots
    1 Container (10 oz. or so) Mushrooms
    1 bunch of celery
    half a head of cabbage
    1 package Lipton soup mix
    1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional)
    1 48oz can V8 juice (optional)
    Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc.
    Directions:

    Slice green onions, put in a pot and start to saute with cooking spray.

    Cut green pepper stem end off and cut in half, take the seeds and membrane out. Cut the green-pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot.

    Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.

    Clean carrots, cut into bite size pieces, and add to pot.

    Slice mushrooms into thick slices, add to pot.

    If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.

    You can use beef or chicken bouillon cubes for seasonings. These have all the salt and flavors you will need.

    Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook for a long time - two hours works well. Season to taste with salt and pepper

    I am so hungry that even cabbage soup sounds good right now.






    Lemme know how this goes, Jess. I could torture myself for a week with a diet based mostly on soup if I could see a 10lb drop. I mean, I'm not one for fad diets, but this one looks a little different.....

    My mom tried it and it was a jumpstart and she has lost alot of weight and kept it off..The key is to stick to a healthy diet after u are off of it..

    I have done this diet and I only lost 5 lbs but I will say it is a good jump start but you have to keep up eating right or you will gain all the weight back plus more.

    Good Luck
