The Cabbage Soup Diet
One of the most famous fad diets, the Cabbage Soup Diet is a very low calorie low fat diet based on (you’ve guessed it) cabbage soup, plus a few other foods, including vegetables, fruits and restricted carbs and protein. Typically the advice is to follow it for 7 days, then eat normally for 14 days, then return to the Cabbage Soup Diet for another 7 days and so on.
Despite claims to the contrary, cabbage does not possess any ‘fat-burning’ properties. The reason the Cabbage Soup Diet causes weight loss is because it provides no more than about 800-900 calories a day.
