Cabbage Soup Diet

The cabbage soup diet is a humorously ludicrous diet invented by a society obsessed with dieting, weight loss and a thin body image. The Cabbage Soup Diet is one of those statements about what goes into a diet when really all diets do is remove the food we want to eat. The Cabbage Soup Diet in particular is a diet that deprives the dieter of all food they wish to eat and pushes them towards the point of starvation in order to lose weight.

The cabbage soup diet replaces the food the dieter wishes to eat with one of the least tasty food options, cabbage soup. The Cabbage Soup Diet is intended for only 1 week and should not be pursued beyond 1 week without the potential for serious health repercussions. In general the Cabbage Soup Diet forces the dieter to abdicate eating protein, so the weight loss is primarily muscle mass and water weight. Therefore as a real dieting solution the Cabbage Soup Diet is not a viable long term weight loss option. In the short term dieters will pursue this temporary weight loss fix for a variety of superficial reasons such as weight loss bets, fitting into an outfit, or a misguided attempt to kick start a diet. If you must you can see a daily list of foods you can eat while undergoing the cabbage soup starvation diet:

• Cabbage Soup Diet Day 1: Cabbage Soup + Fruit
• Cabbage Soup Diet Day 2: Cabbage Soup + Vegetables
• Cabbage Soup Diet Day 3: Cabbage Soup + Fruit + Vegetables
• Cabbage Soup Diet Day 4: Cabbage Soup + 8 Bananas + Skim Milk
• Cabbage Soup Diet Day 5: Cabbage Soup + 20 Oz of Beef + Six Tomatoes
• Cabbage Soup Diet Day 6: Cabbage Soup + Beef + Vegetables
• Cabbage Soup Diet Day 7: Cabbage Soup + Rice + Vegetables + Unsweetened Juice

As you can see above the menu is quite bizarre and limited in the Cabbage Soup Diet. Also to make matters worse, the vegetables listed above can’t include potatoes and the fruit can not include bananas. The make up of the cabbage soup in the cabbage soup diet, includes onions, tomatoes, canyons, peppers, celery, carrots and a vegetable soup stock. If you aren’t sick of cabbage by the end of day seven then you should go see the doctor.
