Cabbage Soup Diet

The Cabbage Soup Diet is a weight loss program designed to be used for seven days with the goal of a rapid weight loss of up to ten pounds in a week.

The Cabbage Soup Diet allows unlimited consumption of water and cabbage soup, while on each of the seven days, certain other foods are permitted.</P> A running myth suggests that this diet originated at various well-known hospitals, but the diet is not associated with any major medical institution.

The Cabbage Soup Diet is not a nutritionally sound weight loss program.

Proponents of the diet admit that this program is not suitable for long-term weight loss and recommend that it only be used as a 'jump start' to a diet or weight loss program.
