Weight Loss After Baby Success Stories

Has anyone tried the Cabbage Soup Diet with success?

I am thinking about going on the Cabbage Soup Diet to kick start weight loss – 1 year after having a baby (she’ll be 1 in 2 weeks) I still have 6kg to go (1 Stone/14 Pounds).

What are your views on this diet – did it work for you, do you have any tips about doing it or a better soup recipe – I would love to hear your stories! Thank x

Hello
When I first heard about the Cabbage soup diet, I thought it was too good to be true. So how can a 7 day diet take as much as 14lbs off you?
Cabbage is among several foods that have a negative calorie value. This means that they use up more calories in digesting than they actually give in energy value. Among these kinds of foods are Celery; Asparagus; Beet Root; Broccoli; Carrot and Cauliflower. So in theory the more you eat of it, the more weight you will lose.

The reason is very simple: Your body burns more calories digesting the ingredients, than their calorific content.
This diet is fast, and fat-burning, and the secret is that you will burn more calories than you consume.

Fat Burning Cabbage/Vegetable Soup Recipe:

1 Small Head Green Cabbage

4-6 Spring Onions (chopped) or 2 large cooking onions

1-2 lbs Carrots

2 Large Green Peppers

1 Bunch Celery

2 Packet Vegetable Soup Mix (dry)

2 Large Cans Crushed or Diced Tomatoes

Cut vegetables into small to medium bite sized pieces, cover completely with water, boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender, (about 30 minutes) season with salt, pepper, bouillon cubes, parsley, or hot sauce according to taste.
