Answer 1

The cabbage soup diet is that you eat nothing but the cabbage soup for one week. The upside, if there is one, you can eat as much of the soup as you like. The links below describe the diet.

The recipe has been floating around the internet for at least 10 years. Supposedly the diet originated from a hospital, Sacred Heart (which is non-existent), and someone actually wrote a book using that recipe.

This is the recipes I remember...
Cabbage Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

6 Large Green Onions
2 Green Peppers
1-2 Cans Diced Tomatoes
1 Bunch Celery
1 Package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1-2 Cubes of Buillion (if desired)
1 head cabbage

Cut vegetables into small pieces and cover with water. (V-8 juice and water can be used). Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt, pepper,parsley, etc. EAT AS MUCH AS YOU WANT WHENEVER YOU WANT ANY TIME OF THE DAY.

Answer 2

Go online and type in "cabbage soup diet". There will be recipes for the soup as well as the special diet that goes with it. The diet does work. I lost 10 pounds in a week. It is fine to use it sparingly, like before a vacation or reunion. Good luck

Answer 3

The best range to lose weight in is 1 to 2.5 lbs a week. This will allow your body to accustom itself to the loss and the skin to regain its prestretched stage. Losing weight too quickly will cause the skin of abdomen, chest and inner thighs to sag, possibly dramatically. I don’t personally believe in any of the fad diets that keep showing up. I think that they put your body into an unhealthy famine mode which will cause you to gain the fat right back if you start to eat normally again. The best idea is to eliminate all junk food. You can do a cheat day if you need to but don’t go overboard. Eat balanced meals of reasonable size. Overeating will cause your stomach to be too large and you will still feel hungry when you’re not. Also have lots of healthy snacks during the day. Ideally you’ll want to eat 5 or 6 small meals throughout the day. Carry food with you so you aren’t tempted to eat unhealthily when you’re out of the house. And don’t buy unhealthy foods. Get foods that are low in bad fats—we do need fat to survive but not saturated fat. Minimize the processed flours and sugars, no white bread, no sugar. Choose leaner meats and protein sources. Don’t expect to eat pizza and burritos all the time and lose weight. And eat tons of vegetables. Eat salads, steamed vegetables and raw vegetables too. You can’t eat so much celery that you’ll get fat. Don’t eat too much fruit or things containing high fructose corn syrup. The reason is that fructose is hard on the liver because it can only be metabolized there. You can eat fruit during or after a workout. Don’t eat late at night because your body will turn it into fat. Eat a smaller amount of calories than needed to maintain your weight. You have burn more than you intake. Always exercise. Cardio especially, but weights are good too. Don’t give up. You’ll be glad you chose to lose the weight.

Answer 4

I tried this diet years ago, but couldn't stay on it more than a few days...too boring. The soup starts tasting awful when it's the only thing you're allowed.

Answer 5

My dad went on a diet and ate tons of cabbage daily and got the shingles - very bad, from a sudden diet change high in acid.
