Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe Book |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe Book is advertised as a guide for individuals who would like to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. The book is said to provide a host of recipe ideas that are built around Cabbage and other vegetables. Dieters are encouraged to eat as much of the soup whenever they feel hungry.
Dieting is known to be an important part of achieving lasting weight loss, but not all diet plans may be safe. Those fighting obesity may benefit from healthy eating habits, which may promote general health and well-being. We will get a closer look at the diet encouraged by this book to see if dieters may benefit from it as advertised.

| Pros |
• Individuals are said to lose 10 pounds in one week on this diet
• The recipes in the book are said to be low in calories
|
| Cons |
• The book currently does not seem to be available at U.S. retailers
• We are unable to locate an official website at time of review
• Side effects may include increased flatulence
• It may promote short-term weight loss at best
|
| Concept |
The recipes are said to be based on the “fad diet” consisting of certain veggies, which is believed to promote up to 10 pounds of weight loss in just seven days. It appears to be intended for short-term use, but it may not be as effective in the long run. Individuals with large appetites may indulge in as much of the soup as they’d like.
Originally published in 2001, the book seems to have added variety to the original Cabbage Soup recipe. It is said to consist essentially of Cabbage, Green Onions, Green Peppers and Celery. Some variations are believed to include Buillion and Onion Soup Mix. This book includes 50 different recipes.

| Diet In Depth |
The diet is said to be popular because it is low in calories and based primarily on healthful foods. It has also been known as “TJ Miracle Soup Diet,” “Military Cabbage Soup,” and “Russian Peasant Diet.” We feel that even if the dieter is able to lose the advertised number of pounds in a week, it may not be safe or reliable for lasting weight loss.
We find that detractors of the diet have criticized its lack of essential nutrients. Eating Cabbage Soup every day may deprive an individual of Protein, while it seems to be high in Sodium. In addition, the soup may be bland, and therefore difficult to eat daily for a seven-day period. Also, the lost weight may consist mostly of water.

| Alternatives |
As important as it may be to maintain healthy eating habits for weight management, we believe it may be just as important to exercise regularly and receive proper supplementation. Many people have found capsule-based supplements convenient and effective in supporting their weight loss goals.
Hoodia Gordonii is a South African cactus that is believed to hold the key to safe and all-natural appetite suppression without any adverse side effects. African tribesmen are said to have relied on the plant to keep hunger at bay while on long hunting expeditions. The molecule P57 is known to “trick” the brain into thinking the body is full.

| Conclusion |
Proponents of the Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe Book may point out that individuals may lose 10 pounds in just a week, but we are not sold on such a diet’s long-term effectiveness or its safety. It may not provide the nutrients we need to be at our best in our daily lives, and the taste may not be so appealing to many people.
We conclude that the book may enable people to lose some weight, but there may be more reliable and effective methods on the market. As mentioned above, capsule-based supplements containing the appetite suppressant, Hoodia, may be especially promising. Additionally, the patented fat burner, Advantra-Z®, may combine well with it.
