The New Revised Cabbage Soup DietThe New Revised Cabbage Soup Diet was the subject of an email by Carl Black.
The cabbage soup diet has been seen as a good way to
jumpstart a diet. When using this method correctly, a dieter should
lose between 10-20 pounds on the cabbage soup diet. One of the
things that people enjoy about this diet is that you can eat the
soup any time that you want. The soup itself doesn’t contain many
calories and acts like a filler, making sure you don’t get too
hungry during the diet. When attempting the diet, you should know
that some people have felt light-headed and weak. This is probably
due to the deficit of calories your body is recognizing. Advantages
to this diet is that you will lose weight at a fast rate, but it is
only meant to be adhered to for a week. Anything longer could prove
damaging because on a couple of the days, you will only be taking in
about 1,000-1,200 calories. For example, this can be seen on the day
where you are allowed to eat bananas and skim milk.

You must follow this diet as it is stated to work and remember that you can eat the cabbage soup any time during this week. Day One: Fruit Eat all of
the fruit you want, except for bananas. Eat only your soup and the
fruit for the first day. You can drink unsweetened teas, cranberry
juice and water. Day Two: Vegetables Eat all the
fresh, raw or cooked vegetables you want. Leafy green vegetables are
the best. Avoid dry beans, peas and corn. Do not eat fruit
today Day Three: Fruits and
Vegetables Eat all the
soup you want, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Day Four: Bananas
and Skim Milk Eat as many
as eight bananas today and drink as many glasses of skim milk. Keep
on eating the soup. This day is supposed to suppress your desire for
sweet treats.
Day Five: Beef
And Tomatoes Eat 10-20
ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomatoes. You should also drink
at least 6 to 8 glasses of water to wash out the uric acid in your
body. You should have at least one bowl of soup. If you don’t like
beef, you can eat skinless, baked chicken. Day Six: Beef
and Vegetables Eat
all of the beef and vegetables you
can. You must have a bowl of
your soup at least once today. Day Seven: Brown
Rice, Unsweetened Fruit Juices and Vegetables Eat as much of the above as possible. You should have
your soup at least once today. A few books to check out that discusses the cabbage
