Anyone who wants an explanation of the cabbage soup diet can have one BALONEY. There’s really no need for further explanation. For the sake of filling time, more information is presented.

The inventor of the cabbage soup diet isn’t known. It first appeared in the early 1980s, faxed from person to person like a chain letter. The diet went under many names, often using a part of the name of a well respected institution such as the Russian peasant diet, or the St. Jude’s diet. But in reality the diet had nothing to do with many of these namesakes.

The cabbage soup diet calls for drinking nothing but water or unsweetened fruit juice on days when juice is allowed. In general this is the diet.

Day one — cabbage soup plus as much fruit as you can eat, but no bananas.

Day two — cabbage soup plus vegetables, which could include a half baked potato with no butter.

Day three — add vegetables and fruit to the daily cabbage soup, but no bananas or potato.

Day four — enjoy the daily Cabbage soup plus up to eight bananas and skimmed milk.

Day five — cabbage soup and as much as 20 ounces of beef, as well as 6 tomatoes.

Day six — cabbage soup and as much of beef and vegetables as you can eat, no potatoes.

Day seven — cabbage soup, brown rice, vegetables, unsweetened fruit juice, but no potatoes.

According to the cabbage soup diet you could lose 10 pounds in just a week. While it may be possible, most of that weight will be water weight. A week is simply too short a time in which to lose 10 pounds of fat. What the cabbage soup diet could accomplish in a week is to make someone sick from eating poorly.

The other problem with the cabbage soup diet is that it’s a very difficult diet to follow. In general this isn’t because it’s difficult to understand but rather because cabbage soup isn’t a lot of fun. Many people who have started the cabbage soup diet quit after only one or two days. Even as more exciting cabbage soup recipes, including some with various spices, made the rounds people still quit early.

In general nothing quite as extreme as the cabbage soup diet is needed to lose weight. Losing weight is a simple matter of eating less, and becoming more active.

Working your Upper Body with Aerobics

Everyone knows that aerobics can be the most important thing in your life when it comes to fitness and needed weight loss. Working out is something that a lot of people do, and for good reason. Doing aerobics or other types of workouts is a great way to make sure you are as healthy as you can be. However, aerobics not only helps you to be healthy, but it gives you a chance to be more upbeat, and in better moods as well. Aerobics are all around good activities for you, whether you’re seeking weight loss or not.

Sometimes, though, no matter how good an activity might be for our whole body, we want to focus on something smaller, like part of our body that we don’t like. It is always good to work out in a way that targets your whole body, but sometimes you might want to work on something that is really bothering you, or a point where you know you are very weak. This is where targeted aerobics comes in.

Our upper bodies are things that we know we want to work on. Our arm muscles and the other areas located above our waists are often the things that we don’t like about ourselves, and this are often what we want to change. We all need strong arms and a strong upper body, because we have to do a lot of motion during the day. That is why strengthening your upper body is so important.

When you are trying to target your upper body, repetitions are going to be key. You want to move your body in a way that makes your muscles work. As you are running or walking, you want to have repetitions in your movements with your arms and your shoulders. These should be moved and lifted over your head, and then put back down again, but you have to be sure that you are constantly repeating this movement. This is a good place to have your jumping jacks, because each time you move your arms up and down you are going to be working those muscles.

When attaching weights, make sure the fit is snug, non-abrasive (won’t rub your skin raw) and comfortable as you move through your routines. Don’t let them flop or slap as you exercise. Also, when you start using weights, EASE into the routines so you don’t strain otherwise healthy muscles. Remember to be balanced, right and left, so you don’t fall during your routines.

Another great thing to remember is that each time you move your muscles you are making them stronger. A simple weight loss tip is if you want to get rid of fat on your arms, you have to move the part of your arm that you aren’t happy with. Attaching small weights to your wrists is a great way to strengthen your arms during aerobic exercise.
