ew Cabbage Soup Diet is a pretty simple diet you can try and in reward you can lose 10 to 15 pounds in one week. But don't think you can lose 60 pounds because it is not recommended to stay on cabbage soup diet for more than seven days.
Cabbage soup diet called its name because during all seven days only one thing you can eat at any time and as much as you want - the

Cabbage soup diet recipe. Preparation:
Simmer or slow cook all until soup is done. If slow cooking, add seasonings about an hour before done.
Cabbage Soup Diet work because cabbage itself has the fewest calories and least fat of all other vegetables. Cabbage rich in Vitamin C, potassium, fiber and other nutrients.
Red cabbage is better than green cabbage because red cabbage has more Vitamin C. But I would suggest to use savoy or bok choy cabbage, because they provide beta-carotene - an antioxidant that battles cancer and heart disease. For those who don't eat dairy products, bok choy is an important source of calcium, which may help prevent osteoporosis and aid in controlling blood pressure.
