How Does the Cabbage Soup Diet Work?
The Cabbage Soup Diet works by severely restricting the diet to a basically calorie-free cabbage soup and low-fat, low-calorie foods. Except for the occasional baked potato, the cabbage soup diet resembles the induction menu of many low carb diets. On the baked-potato days, the cabbage soup diet looks more like the carb addict’s diet, limiting carb intake to the final meal of the day. Calories are most likely seriously cut, and ketosis possibly induced, both of which should theoretically lead to weight loss.
