The Cabbage Soup Weight Loss Diet Plan

The Cabbage soup diet

  The Cabbage soup diet is a fad diet that is built around heavy consumption of an extremely low-calorie cabbage soup. Its origins are unknown. The intent is to lose 10 pounds (4.5 kg) of weight in a week, though nutritional experts who have examined the diet say that it is impossible to lose that much fat within a week (most of the weight lost is water) and that the recipe for the soup as often given has an extremely high sodium content and very little protein.

The cabbage soup diet has many names. You can find it as "sacred heart diet", "military cabbage soup", "TJ Miracle Soup Diet" and many more.

The most common forms of the soup recipe have been criticized as being somewhat bland, though spicy versions have appeared; it has also been noted that flatulence is a common side effect of the diet. A frequent comment on the soup is that it makes a good low-calorie filler meal, but is not substantial enough to be relied upon as a dietary staple. The newer, healthier versions of the cabbage soup diet however take this fact into account and add to the diet plan protein while decreasing sodium.
