Cabbage Soup Diet, Another Low To No Carb Diets

By Christine G. Shannon

You may have heard of the Cabbage Soup Diet. Many people have lost immediate weight the first week or two they go on this diet, but have lost interest after that and regained the weight, which is much like the results on other low to no carb diets. For a diet to work long term, it must offer enough variety to be enjoyed and eaten over a period of time.

This diet is also known as a fat burning soup diet and contains ingredients which are considered to play a role in burning fat. Other than the soup itself, the dieter doesn't have many choices other than low carb and no carb items like fruits and vegetables.

By looking at what goes into this fat burning soup, you can see why the cabbage soup diet is considered a low to no carb diet. This soup is made of vegetables which help burn fat; peppers, tomatoes, onions and of course cabbage. You can also substitute cauliflower, broccoli, kale or other members of the cabbage family for the cabbage in this recipe and add seasonings to taste.

This is a diet which is very low in carbohydrates, which your body converts to sugar - the unused energy is then stored as fat. This is a low carb vegetable soup, made with ingredients which encourage your body to burn fat and lose weight. It works for most, but since most of these dieters quickly lose interest in the diet, it is only effective in the short term.

This is how the diet works: you can all the soup you like any time that you want. Other than the soup, you can eat fruit (other than bananas) on day 1. On day two you can eat vegetables, other than corn, peas and beans. You can also have a baked potato along with the soup for dinner on day two, since this is meant to trick your body into thinking that you are adding carbs back to your diet.

Day three allows fruits and vegetables, day four you can have bananas and skim milk. On day five, you can eat lean meat and tomatoes; day six allows leafy greens and lean meat. On day seven, brown rice can be eaten. This isn't a diet which offers a lot of variety, not to mention protein. This is why many do not manage to stick with the fat burning soup diet for very long.

The cabbage soup diet is a lot like the other low to no carb diets; it limits your carb intake. It also does not limit how often or how much you can eat, but it does limit your choices.

While the cabbage soup diet doesn't restrict how many times a day you eat, and is like other low to no carb diets, the best diet is one that would include fat burning foods, as well as a variety of nutritional food, allow you to eat numerous times a day, that you could lose weight on and stick with long-term, like FatLoss4Idiots program that is highly recommended in the link below. - 17274
