The Cabbage Soup Diet!

This is the diet that everybody is looking for. 
The cabbage soup diet.  Yes it does work. But the weight you lose dose not stay off for long. So only use this for getting into a dress on the weekend or for an event where you just want to be a couple pounds thinner. Always talk to your doctor before you start an eating plan and do NOT do this plan if you are on a detox plan.

The Cabbage Soup Diet!

Ingredients/ shopping list
1 small head cabbage
3 ribs of celery
2 green peppers
1 can chicken broth
1 medium onion
1 large can diced tomatoes
water

salt and pepper to taste
Cut  veggies into bite size pieces. Use large soup pot with just enough water to cover and cook until the cabbage is done, about 30 minutes. 
The Diet! 
Try to ensure that you drink 2 litres of water a day.!
Day 1- Eat fruit only today (except for bananas) and as much of the diet cabbage soup as you’d like. For example eat baked cinnamon apples in the morning, a large fruit salad and cabbage soup for lunch, and cabbage soup and a melon salad for dinner. Snack on fruit throughout the day, Try frozen berries, grapes and watermelon.

Day 2- Eat veggies only today (except corn or other starchy vegetables). You do get ONE baked potato for breakfast. No butter sour cream etc.   For lunch ,the cabbage soup and salad sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil. For dinner try mashed cauliflower with a stir fry of veggies.

Day 3- Today you eat fruits AND veggies (except bananas, corn and other starchy veggies) You also don’t get a potato today,  just do a repeat of day one and two for foods.

Day 4- Today you eat only bananas and milk/yogurt. I hate it. You can only have bananas and milk. eat bananas, rice milk, almond milk and yogurts and of course the miracle soup. It’s not that difficult, but if you hate bananas I feel sorry for you.
 Day 5- Today eat only tomatoes (6-8) and protein like fish, turkey and chicken. Have wonder soup for breakfast and add extra tomatoes.  For lunch , grilled chicken topped with tomatoes seasoned with salt, basil, pepper. For dinner, more wonder soup, but add ground seasoned turkey to it. Very filling. 
6- Today it’s protein and veggies- Unlike yesterday you can have other veggies besides tomatoes. have a salad for breakfast seasoned with olive oil, spices, salt and pepper. For lunch , a stir-fry with chicken, spices and veggies , dinner, fruits, vegetables, and juices. !! 
This is the basics of the cabbage soup diet!! Remember talk to your doctor before trying this diet and do not to this diet while you are on detoxing so as not to cause dehydration.
