If you want to lose from 5 to 7 pounds in a week, I recommend the Cabbage Soup diet. However, you should check with your doctor or health professional first to make sure you have no pre-existing medical condition that won’t allow you to undergo this particular weight loss plan.
So here’s the plan. This is a program where you can have unlimited bowls of cabbage soup, so you should never be hungry. Each day also brings a specific combination of foods to add variety in the diet. Stick to the prescribed meals and you should be able to shed a significant 5 to 7 pounds with the Cabbage Soup diet.
The Cabbage Soup Recipe
Saute 6 large green onions and then add them to the broth. Cut up 2 green peppers and add them. You will need one to two cans of tomatoes depending on your taste. Then chop and add 3 medium sized carrots. 10 ounces of mushrooms is about the right amount. 1 bunch of celery chopped should be added. You will need to slice and put in at least half a head of cabbage. Then you can season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc. Very simple!
Lose pounds in a week by adding the following foods each day:
Day 1: Eat any fruit you want except bananas. Do not substitute fruit juice.
Day 2: Eat vegetables until you are stuffed. These can be raw or cooked. For dinner, you can add a big baked potato with butter. But don?t eat fruit on this day.
Day 3: All the fruits (except bananas) and vegetables (except potatoes) you want.
Day 4: Up to 8 bananas and all the skim milk you want. This day is intended to reduce your desire for sweets.
Day 5: This is an odd day for a diet. You must eat 6 tomatoes. Also, you can have 10 to 20 ounces of beef.
Day 6: All the beef you want plus vegetables excluding potatoes.
Day 7: (The final day). Stuff yourself with brown rice, fruit juices and vegetables. You should eat the soup at least once on this day, even if you are quite tired of it.
The food combinations may seem odd, but stick to it. Many can attest to how the pounds were shed off with this diet. The real trick may not be so much in the combination of foods but in the fact that you are unlikely to eat more than 1000 calories a day.
Also, you should know that it is impossible to be hungry on this diet so long as you eat the cabbage soup. No need to starve to shed pounds!
