Seven Day Cabbage Diet
The 7 day cabbage diet is a very simple 7 day diet. The most difficult part of following this diet is that while you may have unlimited amounts of the cabbage soup, you actually have to make the soup. Of course, you also have to keep track of which day you’re on so that you can know which foods you’re allowed to eat on any given day. Since this changes from day to day, I recommend that you write up your list and keep it somewhere that you can cross off each day as you finish it.
While there are a few diets that are referred to as “the cabbage diet”, there only seems to be one that lasts for 7 days. This is the 7 day cabbage soup diet, and while many people claim that one hospital or another created or endorses this diet, no hospital, clinic, or doctor has stepped forward to claim responsibility for it.
The diet itself seems to be based on confusing your body. The daily foods that are allowed are switched up every day and sometimes you’ll find strange combinations are allowed. No matter what foods are allowed on each day, you’re allowed to eat as much as you want with the exception of your banana day, which is limited to 8 bananas (however, the size of the bananas isn’t mentioned). You may have as much cabbage soup as you want, and as much water as you want no matter which food day it is. Some days allow for fruit juices, tea, or skim milk.
Proponents say that you can lose up to 10 lbs in 7 days with this diet. I have had several friends who tried this diet, but none have managed to make it through the whole 7 days. Funnily, almost all of them developed a taste for the cabbage soup, and have adapted it to their own tastes and continue to use it… simply as soup.
If you have will power enough and can make it through the 7 days, it’s an easy way to lose pounds quickly. However, much of this weight will be water weight loss, not fat loss, so be prepared to gain it back again quickly once you begin eating normally again. However, the quick weight loss may be just the incentive you need, and the exposure to many different foods while one the diet may encourage you to adopt a healthier lifestyle after using the 7 day cabbage diet.
