Pros: none Cons: GIVES YOU GAS, AND SAME OLD BORING FOOD EVERYDAY WEEK IN WEEK OUT.
Oh yes the famous cabbage soup diet. I have tried this diet, as I have tried many others. And this is what I have to say about this diet.
Do you like cabbage, tomatoes, onions and other veggies? If so then you might just like this diet....

Pros: A quick way to loose a few extra pounds without starving yourself Cons: Weight loss is not long term. Diet is unhealthy for extended usage.
I'm not exactly sure when the Cabbage soup diet came into use, I remember first being introduced to it back in the mid 80's while working in an office with 5 other women. None of us were what I would say obese, but you know with women we are never...

Pros: Detoxifies, teaches new habits, works fast Cons: Must have massive amounts of will power
The Cabbage Soup Diet, what can I say? The name of the diet is a little bit deceptive. It sounds as though the person on this diet would only eat soup. In reality you get to eat much more than just the soup. It is not the most exciting food, but is...

Pros: Less expensive than protein based diets. An excellent way to kick start a healthier lifestyle. Cons: Low caloric intake makes rigorous activity prohibitive on most of the 7 days.
I am an actress who at 140 pounds just needs to drop 10 pounds for the camera so to speak and I am trying this diet for the second time. The first time around I stuck to the diet rigidly and gave up on day three. This time, I have been more creative and ...

Pros: impress your friends with the sheer force of your willpower! Cons: it's really stupid, unhealthy, and gives no results
I am, college education and capacity for rational thought aside, a sucker for fad diets. They're so interesting. It's about the challenge of sticking to it and having an excuse to be even weirder than my usual self. The cabbage soup diet certainly...

Pros: Lost weight, didn't feel hungry, lowered my cholesterol(!) Cons: Can become monotonous if you don't make the soup the way YOU like it.
I love the diet! You get a lot of fruit, vegetables, even a baked potato and meat! I've read a lot of reviews saying the Cabbage Soup didn't taste good. My soup is delicious (RECIPE BELOW)! I make the soup, stick to the diet for a week, then take 1-2...

Pros: Works well as a quick fix, can use salt in the soup. Cons: Temporary weight loss, tastes gross, causes lots of gas.
As a size 7/8, who’s forever trying to whittle herself down to a size 6, I’ve followed the Cabbage Soup Diet a few times in the last couple years. Most recently, I was following the diet five weeks ago. I looked at the calendar and realized that my...

Pros: Fast weight loss and clear skin. Cons: You have to get use to saying it wasn't me! Get it.
I promised myself when I began catching on to what Epinions was all about that I would return to some of my first reviews and do, do-overs.
I gave very little info on this diet and now I am prepared to give you the big picture on The Cabbage...

Pros: The pounds will come off in a hurry, You don't have to pay Jenny Craig Cons: The pounds will come back in a hurry - Yo-Yo
I remember the stench filling the house as the pot of cabbage soup simmered on the stove. I was probably 8 or 9 the first time that my family tried the cabbage soup diet (or some variation of it). My family tried lots of diets when I was growing up....

Pros: Adjusted for healthy nutrition, this one week diet can take off and KEEP off pounds. Cons: You'll need time and creativity, preparing your own meals is the way to go.
CABBAGE SOUP DIET/AKA the DOLLY PARTON DIET My experience: I love the cabbage soup diet. Years ago, I lost over 75 pounds the old fashioned way (eating better and exercising regularly), and have maintained most of that loss with continued ...

Pros: The soup is tasty Cons: You have a hard time getting the soup down after days of eating it
I tried this diet last year. I WANTED to lose about 30 pounds and I thought this may be a quick way to do it (even though I knew better). Fortunately for me, I couldn't get through one full week of the diet.
This diet is full of healthy...

Pros: rapid weight loss Cons: rapid re-gain when diet is ceased
I tried the cabbage soup diet because my husband knew an extremely obese man who was losing a lot of weight on it.
This man had been on the diet for several months under a doctors care. It was either lose or die for the fellow.
I LOVE veggies...

Pros: quick weight loss Cons: bland, frequent porcelian trips
Want to lose some weight quickly for a special event or a day at the beach, then try the Cabbage Soup diet. It does really work......
The diet works because cabbage contains no fat and hardly any calories. Eating all of this you want...

Pros: eat all yu want Cons: no sweets :(
My husband had to loose 35 pounds a few years ago. He was in the national guards and was getting over their weight limit. So they told us about this cabbage soup diet. I decided to try it with him, since I could stand to loose about 25 pounds...
