How Does It Work?

It’s is no wonder that you can lose 5 – 10 pounds on this diet so quickly because as you can see that the calorie intake is extremely low for those 7 days.  

Pros:

When followed as directed has proved successful for many people.

No counting calories or carbohydrates

Avoid hunger by eating as much cabbage soup as you like every day for the whole week.

It is easy to follow and inexpensive. It is a nice break from eating fatty foods or junk foods and cabbage is healthy.

Some people like this diet if they have an upcoming event or holiday to jump start their weight loss.

Cons:

It is extremely low in calories and should not be followed for long periods of time.

Though cabbage is an extremely healthy food this diet is not nutritionally balanced. We need more than cabbage soup to maintain a well balanced and healthy diet.

The diet is boring and bland due to the repetition of eating the same type of soup daily.

Many people gain the weight back quickly unless you immediately start a healthy way of eating or another weight loss program after completion.

For this diet to work at its best it must be followed in detail for those 7 days. If you do stray away from the plan you must start over.

Notes:

As with any weight loss program, if you experience any kind of negative side effects stop the program immediately.

Conclusion:

Many people have been lead to believe that cabbage helps you lose weight.

Cabbage is a healthy food choice but it has no magical fat burning powers. The simple reason why this plan is so effective is because the calorie intake is extremely low.

If you would like to give it a try and shed some pounds quickly perhaps taking a multi vitamin during those 7 days may be beneficial.
