The cabbage soup diet is considered to be a quick fix diet because it suggests eating soup over a period of several weeks in order to lose weight as quickly as possible. The diet may cause weight loss, but unless you are willing to eat soup for the rest of your life, the results won't be lasting.
Function
The cabbage soup diet is a combination of filling, yet low-calorie vegetables mixed into a soup that can be eaten as often as necessary during the diet.
Ingredients
The cabbage soup is made with onions, green peppers, canned tomatoes, celery, cabbage, onion soup mix, bouillon cubes and tomato juice. Foods besides cabbage soup incorporated into the diet include brown rice, beef, and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Time Frame
The cabbage soup diet should not be used for the long-term. The diet plan should be used only for one or two weeks at the most.
Benefits
The cabbage soup diet contains a variety of low-calorie fruits and vegetables and is low in saturated fat, which does make it a healthier option than other fad diets, like the ice cream diet or the lemonade diet.
Warning
The cabbage soup diet is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and should only be attempted only under the supervision and care of a doctor.
