The Cabbage Soup Diet

 

The principle of this popular and spectacular diet combines the cabbage soup, known for their slimming qualities and fruits, vegetables, meat, sometimes in unlimited quantities but not at the same time neither the same day.

Cabbage is known for having weight loss stimulating properties, by regulating the metabolism of sugar and fat and is rich in vitamin C, potassium and fiber. Fibers are indispensable to a good intestinal transit.

Peppers, tomatoes, carrots, celery, onions provide vitamins A & C, potassium, beta carotene, fiber and protein.

Improving the taste of this soup is allowed and can be done by replacing tomatoes and/or peppers by zucchini and the white cabbage by a green one.

The basic recipe for cabbage soup diet is the following one:

1 white cabbage
2 green peppers
1 kilo carrots
6 large white onions
1 bunch celery branches
1 or 2 canned peeled tomatoes
1 or 2 teaspoon vegetable broth in powder

Wash vegetables and cut them into pieces. Cover them with water and boil. Let simmer, add spices. This soup is consumed without salt.

Eat as much soup as you like.

Caution!

The cabbage soup diet can also lead to nutritional deficiencies, so it is advisable to take a healthy breakfast:

Blend:

1 glass skim milk
2 tablespoon of protein powder
Few red berries
1 teaspoon aspartam
