Fad Diets Reviewed: New Cabbage Soup Diet
Claims
that one can lose as much as 20 pounds in seven days by following a strict
plan of a vegetable-based soup (consisting of cabbage, onions,
peppers, tomatoes, celery and onion soup mix) and one other specified food.
Because the plan consists of less than 1,000 calories a day, rapid weight loss
occurs. The author stresses throughout the book that this type of diet should
only be done for seven days.
Advantages:
Other than rapid weight loss, there are no advantages to this plan.
Disadvantages:
The downside to such an extreme approach to this method is weight loss is temporary.
Weight loss either represents water weight or lean body tissue. Furthermore,
many dieters report nausea, light-headedness and gas as common side effects
of the plan.
Long-term Success:
Maintenance of the new weight is virtually impossible. Lifestyle changes regarding
healthy eating and exercise are not addressed in the plan.
The New Cabbage Soup Diet was created by Margaret Danbrot.
