TheTruth About The Diet Solution
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.
