Cabbage Soup Diet

The cabbage soup diet has been credited to be a quick weight-loss fad diet. The diet program gained nationwide recognition after being featured in Cosmopolitan magazine and USA Today.

This diet program lasts only 7 days (and should NOT be adhered to for longer), which has been the main draw for the program. This is a clear contrast to some of the other popular diet programs, which advocate a life-long change in dietary habits.

The central focus is on eating cabbage soup, as much as you want. Also, the dieters are allowed as much water as one wants to, plus a very restricted set of other foods.

Because of this diet programs nature, some use it as a preliminary phase for other diet programs. This is perhaps not wise, as almost all of the popular diet programs have an introductory phase as well, and coming to such a phase from a special diet program may be counter-productive.
