Below is a 7-day cabbage soup diet for fast weight loss to help you get in shape fast if you have an upcoming event. This diet works best if followed by a low-calorie meal plan to help you stay in shape.

The cabbage soup diet works by jump-starting your body’s metabolism and fat mobilization. This diet restricts your calorie intake and forces your body to use fat as an energy source. Low sodium, low calories, and high fiber enable you to get in shape quicker than you would if you followed a moderate long-term eating plan.

Cabbage soup is often prescribed to obese patients as the diet is high in fiber and low in calories (20 cal per 100 gm of soup). It provides more than 53% of the recommended dietary allowance every day.

This is why the cabbage soup diet has successfully helped many people to lose weight. You too can lose weight by following the 7-day cabbage soup diet plan discussed below.

The cabbage diet is one of the oldest diets that has been around for centuries and revised over and over again. You are likely to find several different versions online. Lately, these 7-day diets have become really popular. Even Dr. Oz has one.

On the 7-day diet, you follow a certain eating plan every day. Along with eating these specific foods, you are allowed to have cabbage soup aka wonder soup aka weight loss soup aka miracle soup aka weight watcher soup whenever you like.

You will also have to drink 8 glasses of water each day to help you lose up to 10lbs within the 7 day period. My results vary if I slack on water, but 8-10 pounds is what I usually lose.

This diet should only be followed for 7 days at a time, with at least two weeks in between.

Day One: Fruit: Eat all of the fruit you want (except bananas). Eat only your soup and the fruit for the first day. For drinks- unsweetened teas, cranberry juice, and water. (I had coffee, no cream or sugar).

Day Two: Vegetables: Eat until you are stuffed will all fresh, raw, or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat leafy green vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. Eat all the vegetables you want along with your soup. At dinner, reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter. Do not eat fruit today.

Day Three:  Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits, and vegetables you want. No Baked Potato.

Day Four: Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

Day Five: Beef or Chicken And Tomatoes: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomatoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken).

If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for beef on one of the beef days (but not both).

Day Six: Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart’s content beef or skinless chicken and vegetables this day. You can have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables. No Baked Potato. Eat your soup at least once.

Day Seven: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices, and vegetables: Again stuff, stuff, stuff yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day. Be sure to eat your soup at least once today. No bread, alcohol, or carbonated beverages, not even diet soda.
