DIET?
The Cabbage Soup Diet has variation
s, but it is mainly:

1. A low-calorie diet;
2. Low-fat;
3. High-fiber;
4. It can be low-carb on most days.

Yet it is not vegetarian or vegan becau

se limited amounts of beef and chicke

for tweaks, just like the military diet.

PROS AND CONS?
Pros:

Quick weight loss – up to 10 pounds

or more in only 7 days.
Body detox and a kickstart to a
sustainable diet.
It may have anti-inflammatory
properties, depending on the
ingredients. Our diet cabbage soup
recipe does have some, such as
turmeric, garlic, lemon, and spinach.

Cons:

If you don’t drink plenty of water

and start a balanced diet, you may
re-gain the weight fast as well.
 It is a fairly boring diet since most
of it consists of cabbage soup.

DIET SOUP?
Exercise is not recommended while on
the diet, especially moderate to high-l
evel. Why? Because this is a low-calor
ie diet-- one that can leave you weak
even without exercising. You'll likely g
et around 1,000 calories or less a day
which is about half of the 2,000 daily
calories that most adults should get.

IS IT GOOD FOR
C E R TA I N
CONDITIONS?
Mostly for those who are obese and n
eed to lose weight fast in order to und
ergo to surgery. If you have any condit
ion, such as diabetes, consult your do
ctor before doing the cabbage diet so
up. Your blood sugar levels may drop
a lot. It also won’t have a long-lasting i
mpact on heart-disease, lowering chol
esterol, or treating high blood pressur
e.

7 - DAY CA B B AG E
S O U P D I E T FAQ’S
To begin with, you should always ask y
our doctor before starting any diet, inc
luding this cabbage soup diet. Here ar
e a few often asked questions about t
he 7-day cabbage soup diet:

···
···

 Can I substitute other foods? This

is a strict diet that does not allow
tweaks. But I have to say that I lost
3 pounds in 5 days only by eating
the diet cabbage soup once a day,
and eating outside of the diet but
mostly up to 1500 calories a day.
What can I drink on the cabbage
soup diet? It allows for drinking
water, coffee, or unsweetened
herbal tea – but not alcohol or
sodas. But I confess that I drank
diet tea (stevia-based). It has zero
calories but is not detox.

···
···

Can I feel tired on this diet? Yes!

Although I am used to dieting, I felt
more tired on this cabbage soup
diet than on others. I also felt weak,
had issues focusing, and was highly
irritable and hungry.
How long can you stay on the
cabbage soup diet?  This is a 7-day
diet only – it’s super-restrictive and
can make you feel weak, lose focus,
and run low on nutrients. For these
reasons, do not stay on the diet
beyond 7 days. This diet is ideal for
detoxing the body and preparing it
for a sustainable diet.
What can I do to keep from putting
the weight back on shortly after
completing this diet? Be sure to
drink a lot of water so that your
body won’t hold on to fluids, and
start a balanced diet.
