Cabbage Soup Diet – Shed 10 Lbs in A Week



Filed under : Healthy diet




Editions of the vastly restrictive cabbage soup diet have managed to hog significant attention as it assures a ten lbs weight reduction in a week’s time. A dieter would be restricting himself/herself for just seven days at an instant on the plan. In case further weight reduction is intended then the dieter is suggested waiting for a while prior to getting started on another seven days on this extra-low calorific diet plan.

Cabbage Soup Diet – What could be eaten

The week-long cabbage soup diet permits one to consume as much as one can till the time one adheres to the mini listing of permissible foods on alternating days, alongside duo everyday bowlfuls of zero-fat cabbage-based soups. Fruits, veggies, skimmed milk & meats are some particular food types which are to be consumed. Every dieter is even recommended drinking plentiful water & evading intake of alcoholic drinks.

Explained herewith is a model of the diet plan:

1st Day – Cabbage-based soups plus loads of fruits (banana excluded). Drinking plain teas, black coffees, water or juiced cranberries is allowed.

2nd Day – Cabbage-based soups, varieties of less-calorie veggies (apart from pea, bean, corn) & one potato post-baking alongside some butter.

3rd Day – Cabbage-based soups & a mix of the just mentioned fruit & veggie types.

4th Day – One is allowed to have cabbage-based soups, banana (around 8 ) & duo glassfuls skimmed milk.

5th Day – Cabbage-based soup, close to twenty oz. beef, fishes, chicken, tomato (around 6) & minimum six to eight glassfuls water are permitted.

6th Day – One is allowed to have cabbage-based soup, beef steak (around three) & loads of veggies.

7th Day – Cabbage-based soups, around duo cupfuls brown rice, plain juice of fruits & limitless intake of veggies is allowed.

The manner of preparation of the cabbage soups differs to some extent among diverse editions of the diet. However, the soup is essentially cabbage plus an assortment of less calorie veggies like tomato, onion & flavouring using onion soup mixes, juice of tomatoes and some bouillon.

A classic preparation will involve:

  • One pack dried onions soup blend.
  • Bouillon cube (duo) – of any meat.
  • Chopped celery sticks (2).
  • Half cabbage chopped.
  • Carrot (3)
  • Bell pepper (2) slivers.
  • Six big green onions /a big yellowish, whitish or purplish onion, chopped.
  • Duo tins of tomato, chopped/whole.
  • Seasonings of pepper, sodium, garlic powdered, soya sauce for flavours.

Start off by spraying some oil in a big pan & then sautéing the veggies (apart from tomato & cabbage) till soft. Now adding the cabbage & around twelve cupfuls water and then adding the soup blend, flavourings plus bouillon and cooking till soup has reached required softness and then adding tomatoes.

Those following the diet must be warned about encountering GI discomforts due to sulphur-rich cabbage & several gas-producing veggies.

Cabbage Soup Diet – How it works its charm

The diet is fundamentally an altered fasting with hardly much calorific worth hence a dieter would shed pounds swiftly in the seven days regime. The conjecture is that eating ample cabbage soups would curb hunger pangs and keeping one full for longer.

Though the guaranteed ten to fifteen lbs does become a reality for the dieter, however the issue is that majority of the weight reduction is essentially fluid loss rather than fat loss & the dieters would regain it no sooner has normal consumption started.

Another aspect is that that consuming almost the analogous foods daily for seven days can become monotonous & a dieter might consume even lesser than the existent precariously less calories (around eight hundred to a thousand cal) daily.

Specialists concur that all diets below 1200 cal. daily are not safe except when you are being supervised by your physician. Also it is virtually not possible to obtain the requisite nutrient worth one requires & satisfying hunger is so little calories.
