Has anyone heard of the cabbage soup diet?

does it really work with quick results? i don't really like cabbage all that much, but i guess i could give it a try. i don't want to try it unless it actually works. can someone give me how much they lost on it, and if there's a website with the recipe on it?

i would not try it. medical view point is not good towards these "fad" diets. you need more nutrients then you will get from cabbag soup for 30 days. and if you do lose a few lbs. how are you going to keep it off? you would have bette results giving up alcohol, soda, and fast food of all kind for a month. also eat lots of veggies, fruits, and drink tons of water. what ever you do just think it though if it sound too good to be true it either is or its really unhealthy for you. use your best judgement. good luck.
Reply:It's just crap - like any diet. Makes you loose weight fast and put on again just as fast. Why bother? And especially - why eat something you don't even like?

Reply:I watched some members of my family do this diet for awhile. I don't have an exact recipe, but I clearly remember it was a soup concoction with a tomato juice base, chopped cabbage, and other (canned) vegetables and seasonings. Basically it was just vegetable soup.



There are variations of this diet out there, some allow you to eat various things, or the diet varies from day to day. It has been around for a long time (over 50 years I bet).



The problem with this diet is that the soup is really high in sodium, unless you use low-salt products. If you retain water from salt consumption, this diet isn't for you, unless you use only salt-free (or low-salt) ingredients. And if you're not accustomed to eating a lot of vegetables, you're probably going to get gassy.



If you just simmer chopped fresh vegetables together in water or low-salt juice or broth, you would have pretty much the same thing. The deal is that vegetable soup (no potatoes, no macaroni) has very few calories. You could probably eat 5 bowls of it a day and consume fewer than 800 calories. So you're gonna get hungry, and bored.



Why not just do a diet shake diet instead? Don't forget to get some exercise--go for a walk every day.
Reply:Don't diet. And certainly don't try and survive on cabbage soup. Just exercise and eat moderately healthy!
Reply:Yes, I was on this cabbage soup diet myself. You'll definitely lose weight, but that's not the right way to do it. After a while you'll be sick of eating the same thing over and over. It's better to eat 6 small meals per day, and have a couple of snacks, staying with enough calories. I probably lost around 4-5 pounds per week.



Cabbage Soup Diet Information

(and How To Lose Up To 10 lbs In A Single Week)



If you have a special occasion coming up, or you simply need to lose weight fast, the Cabbage Soup Diet may be just what you're looking for.

Although not suitable for long-term weight loss, the Cabbage Soup Diet is a low-fat, high-fiber diet that will help you get into shape fast before you embark on a more moderate long-term eating plan.



Pros and Cons of the Cabbage Soup Diet



Pros: You'll lose weight fast, and can get as much of the foods listed in the program as you want. Although the diet is only for seven days (and shouldn't be adhered to for longer), it provides a great "kick-start" for a more moderate diet.



Cons: Some people find the soup bland. Some people have reported feeling light-headed, weak, and have suffered from decreased concentration (although some who have been affected in this way felt it was well worth it, since it was only for a week and they had lost considerable weight).



Personal Note: If you're SERIOUS about losing weight, I would URGE you to check out a brand new concept I just found out about :



Fat Loss 4 Idiots



This diet actually works BETTER than the cabbage soup diet, and it allows you to lose 9 lbs every 11 days ... while eating many of your favorite foods.



Sound impossible? I thought so too, until I tried the amazing new method known a "Calorie Shifting", which actually "tricks" your body into burning fat.

What the Cabbage Soup Diet is NOT



The cabbage soup diet is sometimes referred to as the "Mayo Clinic Diet", and the "Sacred Heart Hospital Diet". Interestingly, this diet has nothing to do with either the Mayo Clinic, nor any Sacred Heart Hospital we know about.



The Problem With Most "Mainstream" Diets



Most diets - especially "mainstream" diets, and those recommended by major medical institutions - work slowly but surely, resulting in around 1 pound of weight loss per week.



This "slow and steady" way to lose weight is certainly healthy, but suffers from one significant drawback : most people get discouraged and quit whatever diet they are on if they don't see results quickly.



Seven Keys to Success



Follow the diet religiously.

Drink at least 4 glasses of water per day

Keep in mind that it's only seven days

Complement the diet with a good multivitamin tablet

Print the information on this site so you can refer to it daily

Eat plenty of soup - as much as you want! Do not try to starve yourself or you'll probably cheat and break the diet

Try different spices to liven up the soup and add variety



Good luck.
Reply:Don't try it. I know people who did it and lasted only two days. You need to do it for about 30 days. Try weight watchers.
Reply:I myself disagree with these kinds of diets but if you really wish to do, try this one:





General Motors: Weight Loss Diet Program



The following diet and health program was developed for employees and dependents of General Motors, Inc. and is intended for their exclusive use. This program was developed in conjunction with a grant from U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. It was field tested at the Johns Hopkins Research Centre and was approved for distribution by the Board of Directors, General Motors Corp. at a general meeting on August 15, 1985. General Motors Corp. wholly endorses this program and is making it available to all employees and families. This program will be available at all General Motors Food Service Facilities. It is management's intention to facilitate a wellness and fitness program for everyone.

This program is designed for a target weight loss of 10-17 lbs per week. It will also improve your attitudes and emotions because of its cleansing systematic effects.

The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the food eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value.

This plan can be used as often as you like without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter because you will be lighter by at least 10 lbs. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.

During the first seven days you must abstain from all alcohol

You must drink 10 glasses of water each day

Day One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.

Day Two All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.

Day Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.

Day Four Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.

Day Five Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.

Day Six Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content.

Day Seven Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.

Tomorrow morning you will be 10-17 lbs. lighter than one week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you are allowed two glasses of white wine in addition to the instructions on the program. You may substitute champagne for white wine. Under no circumstances are you to drink any other alcoholic beverages with the exception of beer which is allowed. Any liquor (bourbon,vodka, rum) is forbidden. Cream drinks are especially forbidden. You may have an occasional cordial such as creme de menthe or schnapps, but you must always limit yourself to two drinks. If you wine, drink only wine that day. If you have beer, drink only beer that day, etc. Alcohol adds empty calories to your diet. However, after the first week it will help your digestion and settle your stomach.

G.M.'S Wonder Soup

The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to consume large quantities of this soup.

28 oz, Water, 6 Large Onions, 2 Green Peppers, Whole Tomatoes (fresh or canned), 1 Head Cabbage, 1 Bunch Celery, 4 Envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix, Herbs and Flavouring as desired.

Additional Comments

Vegetables as may be taken in the form of a salad if desired. No dressing except malt, white or wine vinegar, squeezed lemon, garlic, herbs. No more than one tea spoon of oil.

You have been given a recipe for the WONDER SOUP which can be eaten in unlimited quantities. This soup is a supplement while you are on the program and it should be a pleasure to eat. Not everyone likes cabbage, green peppers, calory etc. This recipe is not inflexible. You may substitute vegetables according to your taste. You may add any vegetables you like: asparagus, peas, corn, turnips, green beans, cauliflower, etc. Try to stay away from beans (lima, pinto, kidney, etc.), however, because they tend to be high in calories even though they are very good for you.

Beverages you may consume while on the program :

1.Water (flavoured with lemon/lime if desired).

2.Club Soda is OK.

3.Black Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness.

4.Black Tea = Herb or Leaf.

5.Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices which are part of day seven. No fruit juices before day seven.

How and Why It Works

Day One you are preparing your system for the upcoming programme. Your only source of nutrition is fresh or canned fruits. Fruits are nature's perfect food. They provide everything you could possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.

Day Two starts with a fix of complex carbo-hydrates coupled with an oil dose. This is taken in the morning for energy and balance. The rest of day two consists of vegetables which are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fibre.

Day Three eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from the fruits. You system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You will still have cravings which should start to diminish by day four.

Day Four, bananas, milk and soup sound the strangest and least desirable. You're in for a surprise. You probably will not eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost and the sodium you may have missed the past three days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets. You will be surprised how easy this day will go.

Day Five, Beef and tomatoes. The beef is for iron and proteins, the tomatoes are for digestion and fibre. Lots and lots of water purifies your system. You should notice colourless urine today. Your allowance calls for the equivalent of five "quarter ponders". Do not feel you have to eat all this beef. You must eat the six tomatoes.

Day Six is similar to day five, Iron and proteins from beef, Vitamins and fibre from vegetables. By now your system is in a total weight loss inclination. There should be a noticeable difference in the way you look today, compared to day one.

Day Seven finished off the program like a good cigar used to finish off Victorian meals, except much healthier. You have your system under control and it should thank you for the flushing and cleaning you just gave it.
