LOW FAT DIETS - FAD DIETING - CABBAGE SOUP DIETS

THE CONCEPT

This diet claims that by eating primarily cabbage soup accompanied by mostly other vegetables and very little meat, users will lose 10-15 pounds within a week. The recipe for the soup is given, and all that needs to happen is to have someone follow the plan correctly and it will work.

THE PLAN

The diet plan requires that you buy the ingredients for the soup, and eat it almost every day for the week, with a few extras thrown in for good measure. The plan is very low in protein and complex carbohydrates, and is considered unlikely to provide healthy weight loss.

People undertaking the plan should keep in mind that the plan is very unbalanced and may cause you to feel light-headed, woozy, and have trouble concentrating. Once the week-long period is over, users should revert to a normal diet, to regain any lost nutrients and minerals. A major problem with this diet is that it does not teach users to posess healthy eating habits, so many will regain the lost weight shortly after stopping the diet.
