Cabbage Soup Diet

The smell of cabbage makes me want to vomit, so this diet would force me to either regurgitate all my meals or just refuse to eat all together:  my apologies for starting you off so negatively. 

Why I stated that is because today's diet review is called the Cabbage Soup Diet.  This diet is a 7-day diet that consists of meal plans for each day of the week in which most include the magical cabbage soup.  This diet is actually a healthy one, but may be discouraging.  Let's face it.  Humans love to see results and this diet takes the full week to show the weight-loss. 

Here's the recipe so you can start cooking your piss-smelling meals...again, I'm sorry:
6 large green onions
2 green peppers
1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole)
3 Carrots
1 Container (10 oz. or so) Mushrooms
1 bunch of celery
half a head of cabbage
1 package Lipton soup mix
1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional)
1 48oz can V8 juice (optional)
Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc.

Directions:
  • Slice green onions, put in a pot and start to saute with cooking spray.
  • Cut green pepper stem end off and cut in half, take the seeds and membrane out. Cut the green-pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot.
  • Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.
  • Clean carrots, cut into bite size pieces, and add to pot.
  • Slice mushrooms into thick slices, add to pot.
  • If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.
  • You can use beef or chicken bouillon cubes for seasonings. These have all the salt and flavors you will need.
  • Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook for a long time - two hours works well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
For those of you who read this recipe and thought, "This sounds so delicious. I can't wait to try it, but where do I start?"  Here is the meal plan that you can follow in order to satisfy those odd taste buds of yours.

Those of you who thought about maybe trying it but are still a little skeptical,  I invite you to look at this page to see the testimonials of people who have tried the diet and have had success! Here their stories!

Eat up!
