Cabbage Soup Diet: Fat
built 622 days ago
The biggest issue with the Cabbage Soup diet is that it’s little more than hype. Some people claim that cabbage leaves have fat burning properties, but that has never been scientifically proven. Still others say that anyone could shed a cool 10 pounds in a single week by sticking to this diet, which is not true. And besides, losing 10 pounds a week is definitely not healthy for you.

The Zone Diet (by Barry Sears) is an interesting type of fad diet that is probably not as effective as the Atkins Diet but certainly more effective than the amateurish Cabbage Soup Diet. The Zone Diet outright states that carbohydrates are fattening (just like the Atkins Diet), but it does not call for such a huge reduction in carbohydrates as does the Atkins Diet.

Claims made for the cabbage soup diet range from the ludicrous, ie. the cabbage soup itself has fat burning properties to the dubious, ie. you can lose 10lbs in a week. The diet is often put forward as a quick way to drop pounds for a special event and most proponents advise that it only be followed for a week.
