There’s a very simple explanation for the cabbage soup diet – FRAUD. There’s really no need for further explanation. But for those who insist here is more.
The origins of the cabbage soup diet are nebulous. It was one of the diets faxed from machine to machine in the early 1980′s. The diet went under many names, often using a part of the name of a well respected institution such as the Russian peasant diet, or the St. Jude’s diet. Needless to say, the diet has no relation to any of the institutions, nations, or people used in these names.
The cabbage soup diet calls for drinking nothing but water or unsweetened fruit juice on days when juice is allowed. In general this is the diet.
Day one — cabbage soup plus as much fruit as you can eat, but no bananas.
Day two — cabbage soup plus vegetables, which could include a half baked potato with no butter.
Day three — cabbage soup and any vegetable or fruit except bananas or potatoes.
Day four — enjoy the daily Cabbage soup plus up to eight bananas and skimmed milk.
Day five — cabbage soup, six tomatoes and up to 20 ounces of beef.
Day six — cabbage soup and as much of beef and vegetables as you can eat, no potatoes.
Day seven — Along with cabbage soup eat brown rice, vegetables and unsweetened fruit juice – no potatoes.
According to the cabbage soup diet you could lose 10 pounds in just a week. Unfortunately that would be 10 pounds in water weight. It’s impossible to lose 10 pounds of fat in a week. What the cabbage soup diet could accomplish in a week is to make someone sick from eating poorly.
The other problem with the cabbage soup diet is that it’s a very difficult diet to follow. Not because it’s too complicated, but rather because seven days of cabbage soup becomes monotonous. Many people who have started the cabbage soup diet quit after only one or two days. There was even an attempt to spice up the cabbage soup diet with new recipes, but that failed.
Realistically people don’t need a fad diet like the cabbage soup diet to lose weight. Exercise more and cut out calories in order to accomplish a goal. Your physician should be consulted before changing your diet.
