The Soup Diet is based on a fat-burning soup that contains negligible
calories. The more soup you eat the more weight you should lose. It allows people to eat as much
Cabbage Soup as they want each day, which should sound appealing to dieters.
After all, dieters love to hear that they can eat unlimited amounts of food and
still lose weight fast.
The Diet relies on eating strange and bizarre combinations of food that nearly force you to starve
each day. Dieters are allowed all the water and cabbage soup they
want, plus a very restricted set of other foods.
A running myth suggests that
this diet originated at any number of hospitals, but thus far, no medical
facilities have claimed it as their own. Consensus is that the diet is effective
for temporarily losing a few pounds. However, this is not a very nutritionally sound
plan and certainly not one to live on.
As with any other diet, care is required and you should
consult your doctor if you have any health concerns.
 The 7 Days
Cabbage Soup Diet Plan
Eat as much soup as you desire for seven days and you can lose 10 to 15 pounds.
The recipe varies slightly, but includes a variety of low-calorie
vegetables such as cabbage, onions, and tomatoes, flavored with bouillon, onion
soup mix, and tomato juice. Each day of the seven-day program has specific foods
that must be eaten, including potatoes, fruit juice, many vegetables, and on one
day, beef.
 Day One:
- Eat
only fruit, all
the fruit you want except banana.
- Drink unsweetened tea, black coffee,
cranberry juice, and water.
- Eat as much soup as you like.
Day Two:
All you want - fresh,
raw, or cooked vegetables of your choice. Stay away from dry beans, peas, and sweet corn.
Reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter for dinner. Eat as much
soup as you like but no fruit for today.
Day Three:
Combine days one and two, eat as much fruit, vegetables, and soup, as you
like but no baked potato.
Day Four:
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:
You may have 10-20 ounces of beef
(300-500g) and a large
tin or up to six fresh tomatoes. 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 today. You may eat
broiled or baked chicken (skinless) instead of beef. If
you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef.
Day Six:
Eat
beef and vegetables today. You can even have two or three steaks if you like, with
fresh vegetables or salad. NO BAKED POTATO. Eat your soup at least once.
Day Seven:
Eat all you want of brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices, and vegetables. Be sure to eat your soup at least once to day. No bread, alcohol, or carbonated beverages, not even diet soda.
