Cabbage Soup Diet
The Cabbage Soup Diet is one of the fastest ways to lose some pounds. Its a simple 7 day plan characterized by its tasty cabbage soup which you eat everyday along with other foods.
These foods change everyday and must be eaten with the cabbage soup.
Below is the original and popular version of the cabbage soup recipe.
Please visit the following page for the full Cabbage Soup Diet Plan.
It is highly recommended that you take a multivitamin while you are on the Cabbage Soup Diet.
While the Cabbage Soup Diet is great for short term weight loss it will not work if your goal is to keep those pounds off.
A great way to lose weight and keep it off is to follow a rather new method of weight loss called Calorie Shifting where the body is 'tricked into burning off the fat. An example of such a diet is the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet which has had a lot of success for the past 4 years.

1 bunch of celery (sliced)

Cabbage Soup Cooking Directions
This is the basic cabbage soup diet recipe. You can modify it as you like so you don't get bored of the same soup for 7 days.
Slice green onions and sauté with cooking spray in a pot.
Cut the green pepper stem end off, chop in half. Remove seeds and the membrane. Chop green pepper into bits and add to the pot.
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage then cut into small bite size pieces and add to the pot.
Clean carrots, cut into bite size pieces and add to the pot.
Slice mushrooms into thick slices and add to the pot.
For a spicy soup, you could add a bit of curry or cayenne pepper at this point.
Use the bouillon cubes (beef or chicken) for seasoning - they already have all the salt and flavors you will need.
Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups plus the V8 juice), cover and put on low heat. Let soup cook for about 1½ - 2 hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Enjoy with meal plan for the day.

Use as much cabbage as you like. I like using half of cabbage the size of my head.
what if i go for 14days or more?
Actually bb, you do not want to do this diet for more than 7 days. This type of diet is what you'd call a starvation diet and lacks all of the nutrients that the human body needs.
I would suggest doing it for the 7 days then get back to your regular diet. Doing it for more than 7 days isn't very safe and although you would lose weight it usually does come back since it's mostly water weight.
