Cabbage Soup Diet

If your a seasoned dieter then you will have heard of the Cabbage Soup Diet. This is a diet that works well in the short term for a lot of people because it is similar to a low to no carb diet. The biggest problem with this diet is it's side effect which is weight gain as soon as you get bored with your choices of food and start eating normally again.

This diet like all other low carb diets are well known for burning fat. The problem is, burning muscle is a by product of the fat burning these diets cause. When your body starts losing its muscle mass your metabolism starts to slow down.

What's in the Cabbage Soup Diet

With the Cabbage soup diet you can basically eat all the cabbage soup you want when you're hungry. This will make anyone lose weight as the soup is probably 90% water. If you want to eat something a bit more filling between your soup meals you can eat other fruits and vegetables.

The program tries to get you to eat foods that are well known for burning fat. The problem is people on this diet soon get fed up with eating soup fruit and veg all the time then they go onto eating their normal diet again and end up putting on weight.

Day one of the Cabbage soup diet

On day one of this diet you can have your soup, and you can eat fruit except bananas.

Day two

On day two you can eat your soup and you're also allowed vegetables except for corn, peas and beans. They say you can eat a baked potato as well to trick your body into thinking that you're still eating carbs when in fact if you do eat a potato you are eating carbs.

Day three

Day three allows you to eat more soup, and you're allowed to eat fruits and vegetables.

Day four

Day four of the Cabbage soup diet is again more soup, bananas and skimmed milk.

Day five allows you to eat low fat meat and tomatoes, and more soup if you can stomach it.

Conclusion of the Cabbage soup diet

IF you can stomach eating like that week in week out for a while you'll definitely lose weight. What you'll also do is slow your metabolism down so when you start eating your normal varied diet you'll soon put he weight back on, and in the end become heavier than you was before.

People have made millions of dollars from this diet as you can purchase books on it from all good book stores. Not bad for something that is fairly bland that most people give up after a couple of weeks. I don't think you get a money back guarantee with any of the books either.
