The cabbage soup diet is a low calorie restriction. Meaning that you will be eating vegetables with a low calorie content, much lower than your usual diet. However, the diet should not be followed for more than seven days at a time. The soup contains the following ingredients:
6 large green onions, 1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional),1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole), 3 Carrots, 1 Container (10 oz. or so) Mushrooms, 1 48oz can V8 juice (optional), 1 bunch of celery, half a head of cabbage, 1 package Lipton soup mix, 2 green peppers, Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc.
Here’s my favorite way to prepare the cabbage soup:
Slice green onions, put in a pot and start to saute with cooking spray. Cut green pepper stem end off and cut in half, take the seeds and membrane out. Cut the green-pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot. Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.
Clean up the carrots, slice into bite size pieces, and put them in the pot. Chop your mushrooms into thick slices, add to pot. If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.
Use chicken or beef bouillon cubes for seasonings. These have all the salt and flavors you will need. Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook for a long time - two hours works well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

There’s a very simple description for the cabbage soup diet FRAUD. Anything else is just a lot of noise. But in case you’re curious here is additional information.
The origins of the cabbage soup diet are indefinable. It first appeared in the the first part of the 1980s, faxed from person to person like a chain letter. There were many names for the weight loss program, sometimes a well-known institution such as St. Jude’s diet. Any suggested relationship to these institutions is counterfeit.
Most individuals on the cabbage soup diet drink nothing but wateror unsweetened fruit juice. A general outline of the diet is something like this.
Day one — cabbage soup and fruit, no bananas.
Day two — vegetables and the cabbage soup, a half serve baked potato without butter.
Day three — cabbage soup plus vegetables and fruit, not including bananas or potato.
Day four — have the benefit of the daily Cabbage soup plus up to eight bananas and skimmed milk.
Day five — cabbage soup and as much as 20 ounces of beef, as well as six tomatoes.
Day six — cabbage soup and as a large amount of beef and vegetables as you can eat, no potatoes.
Day seven — Along with cabbage soup eat brown rice, vegetables and unsweetened fruit juice no potatoes.
According to the cabbage soup diet you could lose ten pounds in just a week. What the diet doesn’t specify is that most of that weight loss would be water. It’s impossible to lose 10pounds of fat in seven days. What the cabbage soup diet could accomplish in a week is to make someone unwell from eating poorly.
In addition the cabbage soup diet isn’t straightforward. Not because it’s too complicated, but rather because seven days of cabbage soup becomes tedious. Many people who have started the cabbage soup diet quit after only one or two days. Even as more exciting cabbage soup recipes, including some with various spices, made the rounds people still gave up early.
In general nothing quite as extreme as the cabbage soup diet is considered necessary to lose weight. Exercise more and cut out calories in order to achieve a goal.
