I talked about this before, but now let's go more deeply into it.
Those who have been on this diet claim that they had lost about 8 pounds in one week. Lucky are those who love cabbage soup. I am not one of them.
Honesyly, the only cabbage I like is the pickled one. And that one only made the Romanian way.
Anyway, if you choose cabbage - and you should - then you ought to be in mind that the best cabbage (like the Chinese one) is when it is cooked only for 5-10 minutes, so it remains crisp. If you have realized, all Chinese dishes use crisp vegetables, unlike most European or American recipes.
Cabbage Soup Recipe
2 onions, chopped 3 tomatoes, chopped (you can add tomato juice as well, but not ONLY tomato joice) 1 small head cabbage, shredded 2-3 carrots, cut into cubes or shredded 2 green bellpeppers, thinly sliced 1-2 cubes of bouillon or beefstock (your choice)
1 stalk celery, slices
optional: hot pepper, sliced salt - make sure the cubes weren't ALSO salty pepper
Optional spices : they make the difference between fad food and fab food - parsley, garlic, basil, paprika, and thyme.
You are supposed to eat this day in and day out and nothing else. No sugar, no alcohol, no bread. Just cabbage soup, unsweetened tea, and black coffee.
Losing weight and staying healthy is easy, when you care. Forget famishing yourself: there are other ways.
Since I was 15 I've been obsessed with healthy diets, losing weight, sports, and everything included. I read books after books and I collected articles on staying fit and healthy. Even now, 12 years later, I am still reading everything I find on the subject.
I will share with you, step by step, everything I know. Free advice.
