Cabbage Fat Burner Soups is a quick weight loss diet. Supposedly, following the diet for seven days can lead to a weight loss of up to 4.5 kg.
The diet works exactly as it sounds. For seven days, you eat almost nothing but homemade cabbage soup. Each day, you can also have one or two other foods, such as skim milk, fruit or vegetables.
Many sources claim that the diet works not by acting as a starvation diet, but rather because cabbage is such a low-calorie food that your body ends up burning more calories in digestion than the cabbage itself contains.
Therefore, the more soup you eat, the more weight you will lose.
The diet is designed not to last more than a week at a time, in order to lose weight before an event or to start a long-term diet plan.
The Cabbage Soup Diet is also known by other names, such as the Sacred Heart Hospital Diet or the Mayo Clinic Diet, presumably because it was developed in a hospital for rapid weight loss prior to surgery for heart patients.
But the hospitals involved have denied these claims.
No one knows exactly where this unique diet originated. In the end, the consensus appears to have gained popularity during the 1980s and 1990s and has remained so ever since.
