Cabbage soup diet refers to a short-term weight loss method that only eats cabbage soup and 1 to two other foods for 3 to 7 days and only drinks water, tea or coffee. COSMOPOLITAN, an American fashion magazine, pointed out that this diet can really help to lose weight quickly, but it is only short-term and has many shortcomings.
Sticking to the cabbage soup diet can lose 4 to 7 pounds a week, but some experts pointed out that while losing weight quickly, the cabbage soup diet also has many shortcomings. First of all, low calorie intake can easily lead to fatigue and even dizziness. At the same time, due to the lack of protein intake, many people consume muscle instead of fat during the cabbage soup diet.
Moreover, during this period, the human body will lack the intake of essential nutrients such as magnesium and iron. Finally, in most cases, the body's weight will recover immediately after eating normally. Therefore, cabbage soup diet can be used as a short-term weight loss method under special circumstances, but it should not be used as a long-term weight loss plan.
