The origin of the Cabbage Soup Diet remains shrouded in mystery, despite the fact that some authors have written books around the subject. The diet's allure is that it promises to help you lose up to 10 pounds in just seven days, but there are no magical weight-loss properties attached to cabbage, the fact of the matter is that soup is extremely low in calories. Eating ample amounts of it instead of food simply places dieters on a severely restrictive plan that some nutritionists speculate falls between 800-1,000 calories a day.
Although eating the soup is meant to suppress your appetite, starving yourself this way basically forces your body to burn anything it can for energy, which dieters assume will be unwanted fat. Unfortunately, much of the weight loss from the diet ends up being water weight and lean muscle tissue instead.
Most nutritionists also agree that it's virtually impossible to get all the essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs to stay healthy eating less than 1,500 calories a day. Because the Cabbage Soup Diet goes one step further and only allows certain foods on certain days, it's even more nutritionally unbalanced than other low-calorie diets, especially when it comes to protein, calcium and Vitamin D.
