Cabbage Soup Diet: A New Look and Weekly Menu

Cabbage soup can be used in a simple diet which can enable you to loose between 3 and 7kg (6 - 15 lbs) in a single week! Cabbage soup helps your body to burn fat and therefore the more you eat the more weight you loose. This diet is also good for detoxifying your body and liver and invigorating you with a feeling of well-being. The cabbage soup diet should be followed only along with a well chosen menu of other foods, selected both to provide the other essential nutrients that you need, and to preserve your body's muscle mass and protein intake while dissolving fats. Eating fruit is an important part of the Cabbage Soup Diet because it will make you feel full and your tummy satisfied.

In more detail, some of the benefits of cabbage soup include:

• Stimulates slimming by controlling the metabolism of sugar and fats.
• Rich in fibre, minerals and vitamins
• Rich is vitamins A, Beta Carotene & C - All important antioxidant vitamins essential for good health
• Potassium from Onions and Celery - Important for healthy and beautiful skin and lips
• Niacin from tomatoes - An important B vitamin which can help to 'switch off' sugar cravings

However, as we mentioned earlier, cabbage soup should not be your only source of food because it does not contain all the nutrients that you need in its self. We therefore advise you to scrupulously follow the menus and advice presented below. We also advise you not to use the diet for more than seven days at a time and to wait at least 2 weeks before using this effective diet again.
