The Cabbage Soup Diet Explained

This one is almost certainly in the 'Fad' camp. And you really have to
like cabbages in order to try this diet! You probably won't be surprised
to find that this 7 day diet plan requires you to eat cabbage soup,
constantly. The rationale behind the Cabbage Soup Diet is that cabbage can
somehow 'flush' fat from your body. Of course, this claim is
unsubstantiated, and has no medical research to back it up.
While
you have to basically eat a lot of cabbage soup, you can eat a few other
things too. According to research done by staff at www.supadiet.com, a
typical Cabbage Soup day might include all the cabbage soup you can eat, a
couple of glasses of skinned milk, and an entire bunch of bananas. This,
of course is a recipe for wind, and that side effect is something the
proponents of the Cabbage Diet don't dwell on (much like Atkins Diet fans
don't mention the bad 'Lion' breath it tends to give you!).
If the
cabbage soup diet works at all, it is because the base foodstuff is low
cal. This restricts your calorific intake, while simultaneously filling
you full of fiber and filling your stomach which lessens hunger pangs. The
cabbage soup diet claims you can lose up to 10 pounds in a single day,
which is dangerous to the extreme, and definitely not regarded as safe
practice by doctors. As a 'crash' diet, the initial weight loss tends to
be mostly water, which is, of course, rapidly replaced. At
www.supadiet.com, we therefore believe that as a long term solution to
losing weight and keeping it off, the Cabbage Soup Diet probably has
rather marginal utility.
Should you try it? If your doctor has no
objections, and you have a mild fetish for cabbages, and an
air-conditioned house, feel free. Otherwise, you will probably be better
off following a more health-orientated diet.
