Cabbage Soup Diet – The 5 Realities Of This Fad Diet

Posted on 08 June 2010 by admin

The Cabbage Soup Diet is a fad diet that has caught on for years now. Often called the “Sacred Heart Diet” and the “Military Cabbage Diet”, the Cabbage Soup Diet’s real origin has yet to be determined. No one has verified where the diet came from and if it is designed for any group of people in particular but the fact that the diet is sill around after so many years have shown its potential applicability.

The Cabbage Soup Diet has a detoxifying effect on the dieter as the diet is similar to a fast. However, because of the dangerously low levels of protein and carbohydrates in the soup, this diet is not recommended for everyone. Sandy, who has undergone the diet in the past finds it very effective and she has in fact lost eight pounds in just one week. She said she desperately needed to find a diet that can help her lose the pounds in time for her wedding. Although the diet is effective, it is not easy and the dieter should be aware of the implications before undertaking the diet.

1. It Limits Your Food Intake to Cabbage

You don’t necessarily have to love cabbage but you must have at least tolerance for this green leafy vegetable. It can be very bland and the diet often asks for other ingredients like crushed tomatoes and a celery stalk. On some days, other fruits and vegetables are added to the diet and the dieter is encouraged to eat as much fruits and vegetables available. Some try to add spices to make it more palatable but all in all, cabbage soup can be very boring and tasteless.

2. It Can Cause Other Symptoms During the Diet

The diet can cause irritability and headaches. Some people reported of lack of concentration often associated with hunger. Often, the dieter thinks nothing but of eating and since the cabbage soup is mostly liquid, it cannot fill you up. The diet recommends eating as much of the soup as you can especially if you’re hungry but the monotony of the diet can be trying.

3. The Aftereffects

The Cabbage Soup Diet, being a fad diet can lead to a regain of weight the week after. The diet can leave the dieter feeling very deprived and he or she has the tendency to eat more in the following week. This will lead to a yoyo diet, with the person often resorting to the diet when the need arises.

4. Realistic Weight Loss

The dieter has to be realistic about the amount of weight that is lost. Although there is a considerable amount of weight loss that the dieter will experience, it will most likely be water weight and lean muscle tissue. There is no discernable loss in body fat and the dieter will most likely regain the weight back if he or she doesn’t add an exercise regime to the program.

5. Diet Not for Everyone

The Cabbage Soup Diet is not ideal for anyone. There are some people who can take the diet and follow through but there are also those who need constant affirmation that the diet is worth it. Most importantly, people who are experiencing medical and health problems prior to the diet should ask the advice of their physicians first before undertaking the diet.

Betty’s 5-Minute Diet Chicken and Vegetable Soup Recipe

Posted on 12 May 2010 by admin


In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her 5-Minute Diet Chicken and Vegetable Soup. The soup is hearty and delicious and will serve about 4 people. It is also very quick and easy for those of you who are trying to diet on the go! The version of soup that I made has 450 calories, so one serving has slightly over 100 calories. If you need a double serving, it will be only 225 calories. Remember, this is a complete meal, and you should not add crackers, croutons, etc., if you are using it for diet purposes. Your soup may have a different number of calories, depending on the brands of ingredients you use, but it should be close to 450 total. Just look on each container for the number of calories, and add them all up! (Cornstarch has 30 calories per tablespoon, so you may want to go light on that.) Ingredients: 14.5-oz. can chicken broth 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons cornstarch 10 oz. can chunk white chicken breast in broth, undrained 15 oz. can mixed vegetables, drained (I used Veg-All.) Freshly ground black pepper for top of soup In a medium pot, dissolve 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch in a 14.5-oz. can of chicken broth. Add a 10-oz. can of chunk white chicken breast, undrained, and a 15-oz. can of mixed vegetables, drained. Stir all together, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir occasionally, until soup is thickened and bubbly—about 5 minutes. Ladle desired amount into a soup bowl. Top with freshly ground black pepper, and serve immediately! Scrumptious, filling

The Cabbage Soup Diet is a seven day weight loss plan that anyone can use to get started losing weight. This plan uses a combination of foods to help get your body into the weight loss mode. The special cabbage soup is the basis of this revolutionary plan and you can eat as much of it as you want every day!

There are pros and cons to this diet. It can’t be used for more than a week at a time and eating the same thing every day can get a little boring—but the results are worth it!
