Publisher's Synopsis
The Cabbage Soup Diet is a rapid weight loss diet. Its proponents claim that seven days on the diet can lead to weight loss of up to 10 pounds (4.5 kg).
The diet works exactly as its name implies - for one week, you eat almost nothing but homemade cabbage soup. Each day, you can also have 1-2 other foods, such as skim milk, fruit or vegetables.
The diet is intended to last no longer than seven days for the purpose of slimming down or jump-starting a longer-term diet plan.The Cabbage Soup Diet is also known by other names, such as the Sacred Heart Hospital Diet or the Mayo Clinic Diet, supposedly because it was developed in a hospital for quick weight loss before surgery for heart patients.
