Loading ...The cabbage soup is the soup diet that started the diet soup hype which also made chicken soup and celery soup popular as good soups for losing weight. The cabbage soup basically is a seven day soup diet where you eat nothing but cabbage soup and another viand. It’s high in fiber, low in fat, and people say you can lose up to 10 pounds.

The Verdict: You’ll need to have very strict control over your food for seven days, making it unfeasible for those who are working. Consider doing it when you’re on vacation, or be prepared to bring a thermos with you. The lack of nutrients in this diet also means you shouldn’t do this for more than the prescribed seven days (aside from the fact that you’ll be sick of cabbage soup before you’re done).

Feedback: “The soup’s more palatable if you inject a little variety. Sometimes I’d serve it chunky, sometimes I’d puree it—just to get a different texture.” – Sally, (STATE). Other dieters suggest these “twists”: curry and mint leaves (Morrocan); cilantro, chili and cumin (Mexican); garlic powder, oregano and basil (Italian); shrimp or fish bouillon, soy sauce and bean sprouts (Chinese); chanterelle mushrooms and rosemary (French).
