Cabbage soup how many calories

Can this be made in a crockpot? Put all ingredients in a crockpot, low setting, 8 hours. Could I make this in a crock pot? I need complete instructions, Im a terrible cook! Please and Thank You! I made some last night in the crockpot. It cooked for a few hours. It tasted great. I was trying to figure out how the results would be affected with a cup in the morning.

I just started this 7 day diet today. I think I need prayer to avoid major cheating on this diet. I am on a very specific calorie allowance, due to various health issues.

How many servings does this make and how large is each serving?? On Day 5. Not a huge fan of tomatoes on their own, so I soaked them in oil and pepper for the day.. Then for my dinner I took some of my soup, and the tomatoes and added them in a skillet with my chicken. When the soup and tomatoes were soft, I blended them in the blender and used that on top of my chicken. I think I will do the same for Day 6 with the soup and it will be like eating tomatoe soup versus cabbage soup for the 6th day in a row.

I rarely eat pasta, so instead of the spaghetti squash, I use french green beans always. I just love that. I did add miatake mushroom, however. I am on day 4, not too shabby, have lost 7 lbs so far but I was pretty toxic and I feel great! I am starting calorie diet with exercise afterwards. You sound like me! I also have a lot of weight to loose, but have read other cabbage soup sites and they recommend waiting 2 weeks before repeating the diet as prolonged consumption of such a low calorie intake has a reverse effect, I.

Did this and lost 15 lbs in 7 days. Very effective. Just started today we will see how it goes…had fruit and small bowl of soup…lunch soup and apple. Kelly, first time on 7days of cabbage soup,what a healthy difference. I feel so much better. Today is another day of a clean healthy me! Thanks for your imput. Susan of Nevada. Makes it the consistency of rice. I doubt rice would be on this anywhere. Use a ricer to do your cauliflower I use it for potatoes.

You can buy one in a kitchen store. Hope this helps. Romona, Ingredient list indicates a 14oz can of diced tomatoes. Hey Romona,. In the summer I cut up about 3 large garden tomatoes and it is sooo much better and without the sodium. If the tomatoes are out of season though they have no flavor and the texture is hard and odd so the canned stuff is the only way to go.

But for it to work as a pseudo detox too, try not to take only water. Thank you so much for your post! What are your thoughts on consuming tea or coffee during this diet? Should I eat it or was it something you just happened to forget to list but do eat.? Holy crap this was sooooo good! I added a small can of chopped green chilies and their liquid. Wow oh wow! Jazzed it up a lot with some heat! Hello, to make cauliflower rice you will need a grater or food processor with the grater attachment.

First, cut your cauliflower in half, be sure to remove the center stem of the head. Then just grate it up. You can stir fry it with a little EVOO with garlic and onions, taste great love it.

Be sure to season it with a tiny bit of salt and pepper. You just put cauliflower through a food processor so it resembles rice. I did this diet before 2 years ago and had much success. Yesterday was a rough day for me so I cheated and had some oatmeal. My body was craving complex carbs!!!! I find it yummy as a shake rather than sliced in me yogurt or milk.

On veggie days can we have an light or fat free Dressings also are we allowed to put Tuna on lettuce or sakad ,; in water without dressings. I made the soup last night and cooked it all night in a crockpot. Turned out great, with lots of flavor. I wanted to share that I had to make my second batch of soup today and I changed it up a bit from the first batch.

I added some cumin, coriander and garlic powder to this batch. I was starting to get a tag reflex thinking about having to eat another bowl of soup. But THIS changed the flavor just enough to make it enjoyable again.

And food is supposed to be enjoyable, right? Anyway those spices gave it a flare of a Mexican soup. Also…I am from the Pacific Northwest where we love coffee and beer. It seems like no matter what I do, I cannot lose weight. Should I have any concerns since I have the hypothyroidism? I am going to try this today. The only thing I did different was to add a cup or so of fresh diced tomatoes that I needed to use, and some diced turkey I had leftover.

Other than these two things I went specifically with the said ingredients. If I loose a few pounds that would be great! Thank you for sharing! Thanks for posting your version of the Cabbage Soup Diet. I did it 20 years ago, for 2 weeks and lost 13 lbs. I am excited to do it again, starting tomorrow Thursday one week this time. I bought freeze dried apples and grapes…very excited to munch them as snacks. I also plan to make the baked apples. I love your suggestions and excitement.

I feel great…now for a JumpStart to the diet in this new year. I will let you know how I do in 8 days. I mixed up day 2 and three. So I did not bake my yam. Will it matter if I do day 2 for day 3 and then follow rest if week as written? This recipe is fantastic. Love it. The diet works. My daughter-n-law gave me the website today after I complimented her in her weight loss.

On my first day of the diet and just finished making the soup it smells and tastes so good! My husband and I did this diet. After 7 days with no cheats we weighed ourselves. He lost 9 lbs me nothing. Today was my second day of the cabbage soup diet,I was sucessfully able to resist the temptations for food but the worst part of this diet that I found was eating the cabbage soup as I have been only using boiling water and vegetables for the soup so it does taste Yuck for real.

I have a tomato allergy, which is a good thing because I have always hated the taste :. What can I substitute on Day 5 in place of tomatoes? I have been on the 7-day cabbage soup diet for 3 days and have lost 5 pounds already! I have followed it almost completely. What I like about it is that I never feel hungry…I have ended up eating only about 2 bowls of soup everyday, along with the other recommendations.

I even added a teaspoon of butter to it and have still lost weight. I do encourage you to drink lots of water. I definitely can tell a difference though in my waist and the soup recipe taste good…definitely better than I thought! Thank you for sharing the recipe and I tracked all of my meals so if you would like for me to post them, please let me know:. Btw soup is awsome Thanks. My husband and I started this diet just yesterday and we ate all of the soup in a day and a half.

This soup is sooo good! I used this tuscan garlic seasoning blend and it came out perfect. I can used this soup on any other day for dinner and just add some chicken and it would be off the chain! Lets see how much I lose…. Hi, Your plan looks exciting. As I am a pure vegetarian,can you suggest me replacement for not vegetarian items in food plan. Today was a little easier. I weighed today, down two pounds. I started with coffee. Had carrots, avocados, then snow peas.

I grilled and had 30 spears of asparagus…too much?! I love it! But I will tomorrow I know I need to keep drinking. I had green tea toward the evening. I made the cabbage soup without the tomatoes bc I forgot them! I had a cup and a half for dinner. I think I ate too late. But I have enough for 4 servings. I have used variations of the cabbage soup diet many times not so much to loose weight [although I usually do lose a few pounds] but to cleanse. The main benefit I experience is a boost of physical and mental energy and a sense of well being.

Afterwards I am generally more aware of what I am eating and take better care of myself both mentally and physically. This is a great website. This makes it hopeful. I wanna lose and feel great for a family reunion so I figure this would be a kickstart for me.

Today, I finished day one. I had coffee and an apple and orange for breakfast. A fruit cup and green tea at lunch and chowed down watermelon and pomegrante shall day. I had two more apples and one more orange and finished the night with green tea. I had 90oz of water.

I did the cabbage soup diet last week and did not loose any weight. I already eat quite low calories around and have at least 1 cheat day before starting the diet. I also exercise 2 hours a day. This week I decided to continue to cabbage soup diet only to find that I gained 3 pounds!

I am not sure why? I am 5ft 2 so having even a few pounds show. My first guess would be that you are eating too little. Doing so will cause your body to be in store mode. I know it seems somewhat counter intuitive, but it is likely why you are gaining and not loosing. Some times our body is working differently because of some hormones. One of my dear friend had the same problem she used to eat good protien diet with very low carb and exercised for 2 hours a day but not loosing weight.

When after going to doctor she came to know there was some hormonal issues. I would suggest you consult a gynic and a dietitian. I had the same thing happen to me too. I did not cheat 1 time on the diet, drank all my water I was supposed to and the first time, lost weight,just a couple but a loss is a loss, tried it again a few months later, and gained 3 lbs.

No cheats all week. Thought we were doing very well. At end of week my husband had lost 9lb and I had lost nothing. Had very good success added yellow squash and canned mushrooms drained,can use fresh1. I have lost over 24lb when i done the diet..

Its really good.. I have used this diet plan for years and i love it. I like to thank you for this website it was very helpful and helped me get back on track in eating healthier. But I must admit I did miss my meats. I am not sure if it was because it was because I miss my meats. Today is my 1st of cabbage soup. My cheat for today is I ate Puple yum cupcake????

I hope I can finish the plan. The recipe is delicious! I add cumin, cinnamon and lots of mixed herbs. Ive had gastric bypass to loose weight. I began to gain my weight back and I am trying this, starting today, should i be okay? There is not much protein in this diet. Also, this soup may be too high in fiber for you to process unless you puree it. You could probably have the soup pureed with a couple chicken breasts or canned tuna and egg every day and be ok.

I also had this survey 11 years ago and have gained back half of what I lost. Is the feeling of atrophy because I eat nowhere near that amount of proteins? Today Oct 10 Nothing else but water.

Started today. OK to drink no-calorie flavored water? The rest of the diet was pretty easy for me. I blended it right in the pot with my new emulsifier and problem solved! A tasty change! I ran out of tomatoes on Tomato and chicken day and just used veggies. Lots of greens and carrots and bell peppers. I love this soup, its so good and i got my son eating as well.

This has been my favorite crash-diet for many years. It got me through dinner on day 3 without feeling homocidal! I am beginning day one today I made a realllly good soup with spices like cumin and chili powder…lots of garlic…. I really hope this works I need that extra boost of confidence to contnue my wieght loss journey I have taken a yr lull and gained 30 lbs back after loosing over 45 lbs….

Hey, what if you substitute water for green tea instead flavored with fresh lemon juice no sugar of any kind or still drink water but have a few cups of green tea a couple times a day. My daughter and I are doing this diet this week. We have one major problem — my daughter cannot stand tomatoes!!!! Is there something she can substitute on that day? Or just leave them off and have a really boring day?? I hate chunky or wedged tomatoes too.

I also hate tomatoes so I puree them and then a cut my chicken into strips like you would for a stir-fry. Cook everything together and turn onto plate — much tastier. I started my wonder soup diet today! The recipe is great. Started this diet on Monday and it is now Friday I am down 10lbs. So far there has not been one day that I have struggled or felt hungry. If you follow the plan as directed above it totally works!

Love it and will def try to do it once a month to jump start my weight loss or get back on track if need be. OK so I accidentally put too much red pepper in my soup and it is almost inedible. What can I put in it to reduce the spice? Try dropping a couple of whole potatoes in the pot. This may thicken the juice, so you may need to add more water as well. I am 30lbs overweight and am trying to get back to a a normal BMI.

I did this soup diet twice within 3 weeks of each other. The first time I lost 9lbs, the second time I lost about 6lbs. The recipe provided was initially a little spicy but I tried it without red peppers the second batch and it was not nearly as tasty, I learned to love the spice really quick.

I did small cheats such as a little butter and salt on the baked potato, a tiny bit of salt on some cooked veggies, and a spritz of very low calorie spray salad dressing on salads. Most every fruit and veggie I ate was raw because I am too lazy to cook. I found the creative food ideas on this page inspiring though and tried a few of them.

I maintained good post diet snacks and meals and maintained for about 4 months before getting weak and gaining it back via fast food and chips and soda. I love this diet because it is really motivating to keep going when you see the scale drop, and more importantly, it shrinks your stomach so you feel fuller faster afterward.

I recommend looking at the FAQ of cabbage-soup-diet. I also recommend taking before after pictures and measurements. After I did this diet twice my coworkers commented on how i looked skinnier, especially in the face, and my jeans that I could fit into but still cut me in two felt comfortable.

This is an amazing pre-diet diet but be strong, no coffee, no flavored water drops, no eggs, no salt, no bread! Oh and be prepared to pee ALOT. On day 6 add chicken to a salad. Enjoy, good luck! Whoops I meant to say I cooked and ate a artichoke with mustard and it was filling!

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I would never have been so creative. One question, what is cauliflower rice? Hey, take half a head of cauliflower break it into florets and run it through your food processor — empty out the contents into a microwave proof bowl, season with a little bit of salt and freshly ground black pepper cover bowl with cling film and blitz it for minutes depending on your microwave and presto! I regularly have it with currys etc. Thanks for sharing your experience with it!

I will start tomorrow I will keep you posted how is going…. Wish me luck!! Love your website! I finished diet today…lost 5 lbs and I am happy! I made the soup with low sodium chicken stock and canned crushed tomatoes…it was delicious!

This recipe is amazing! I just made it and followed the recipe exactly and this is a soup I would eat even when not on a diet. But I will check back in. Day 4 and I am down 4. Best recipe EVER! However, after getting this far, it feels like running on the treadmill and instead of stopping at 2.

On my 8th day I am planning to be on a low-to-no carb diet for a couple weeks then get back in the gym to maintain with smarter meal choices and just continue my current workout schedule. I started Tuesday, June 2nd at lbs. Today I am Good luck to you all! Love the page! I hit menapause and started gaining the weight back! I get full fast. Any ideas? This is a super low carb diet. So even if your full after esp after bi-pass your blood sugar may just be to low.

Your not getting any complex or simple or complex carbs and that can be dangerous. You have to remember a couple things: 1. You may need to modify your Day 1 and eat more soup, less fruit. Because you are only absorbing a portion of what you eat, and because of the nature of bypass and the risk of malnourishment, you still need to take your vitamin and calcium supplements AND you should add a small amount of lean protein every day.

I am so thrilled that I found your blog. I am on day 3 of the cabbage soup diet and am doing well. I really am thankful for your day by day log and ideas. After I finish this kick start, I am going to do the smoothie diet. I will keep you posted. Thank you again. I drink several cups a day with nothing added. All alcoholic beverages are high in calories from unconverted sugars and a 5 oz glass of wine has almost as many calories as a 12 oz coke! My mom was the one who actually told me about this diet because after she had my brother who is now 23 she wanted to shed a few pounds and this diet really worked for her cuz she lost 10lbs!

Day 6 and only lost 3lbs. I will try it again in a couple weeks. It worked for my husband. Soup was delish though. I believe it says black coffee and unsweet tea are ok. I used half a sweet n low in mine so thats one of my small cheat. I have lost 4 pounds in 4 days so far! Is it permissible to use an egg as protein?

Is the water amount based on 8 glasses at 8 Oz 8 cups of water or is it based on 8 glasses at 12 or 16 Oz of water? I will start the 7 Day Diet in the morning. I have a lot of weight to loss! How long can you stay on this diet? How long after you finish the 7 Day Diet can you start it again. Thank you for sharing!!!! Hi Joyce! Just wanted to know how this worked out for you.

Good luck to you! This IS the best cabbage soup recipe! I opted to use organic vegetable broth rather than chicken stock for my first batch. So excited to see if the old jeans fit in a few days! I will try this soup with some tweets. My job as a nursing assistant required high energy.

I am going to start my clean eating, my tummy feels empty which is a great thing, hubby is grumpy but hanging with me til the end!

My daughter and I are starting this today,wish us luck. You mentioned your 17 day diet and reviews that were coming shortly. Would you be able to share it? I want to start the diet tommorow but i want to ask that if i finished the 7days diet will i be able to restart again and loose more weight???. You should not start it again.

The reason why it is 7 days and not a permanent diet or way of eating is because it lacks the nutrients that your body needs. I would suggest reading Dr. I have been on this way of eating for 4 months. This is the way we were meant to eat. There is no magic pill or diet. Good Luck! Day 2 and down 2lbs. I made soup with water, cabbage, cilantro, fresh garlic , tomatoes, carrots and adobo seasoning.

Day one was hard and I cheated with sunflower seeds but not too much. LOL but I still lost two lbs. I worked out lightly too. It looks so pretty. I sprinkled vinegar, salt and pepper and chopped up a yellow pepper. Day 1 on this -not too bad. Tomorrow and day 4 will be the most challenging for me. I can do this! I did the 3 day military diet from January to March in , so I know I can do this. Plus I love cabbage and soup is my favorite quick go to food for lunch and dinner.

Stay tuned for results. Question: I can use a blender to make the soup easier to carry in a container and also easier to take. Every time I do a diet I kick start with this, great weight loss for one week. Packed with lots of good foods, fruit, veg, protein and I can train no problem everyday for two hours which gets harder the older you get my only cheat is I use coconut oil on the Veg, especially for cooking.

It is working for me, today is day 4 and I am 6 pounds lighter. I am drinking a I did add some low sodium soy sauce to my roasted veggetables, I got tired of the same old taste. Good luck with this. I will finishe my 7 days tomorrow.. So happy with results from To But I cheated twice. I will start again on Monday. I added kale on my soup on the second day. I have a huge journey so I needed a jump start. Hello Every1! I started this diet today..

Use cannellini beans, tomatoes, carrots and cabbage and your soup will have about calories per serving. A soup made with cabbage, macaroni, cannellini beans, onions, chicken broth and spices has about calories per serving. If you prefer meat in your cabbage soup, you can replace half of the beans with half a pound of lean turkey breakfast sausage for a soup with about calories per 1-cup serving.

Lovers of creamy soups can mix cabbage, skim milk, a little yogurt, potato, onions and spices for a dish with the same calories per cup. Another low-calorie option is a soup made with cabbage, celery, onions, turnips, carrots, vegetable broth, a ham bone with a small amount of meat on it and spices, which has about 63 calories per serving.

The Cabbage Soup Diet is also known by other names, such as the Sacred Heart Hospital Diet or the Mayo Clinic Diet, supposedly because it was developed in a hospital for quick weight loss before surgery for heart patients.

No one knows exactly where this unique diet originated from, though it first gained popularity during the s and has stuck around ever since. The Cabbage Soup Diet is a one-week weight loss diet that promises to help you lose up to 10 pounds 4.

In order to start, you need to prepare large batches of soup to eat for the entire week. You may season the soup with salt, pepper, hot sauce, herbs or spices. You may also add other non-starchy vegetables , such as spinach or green beans. You are allowed to eat 1—2 other low-calorie foods daily in addition to the soup.

However, it is important not to make any other substitutions and to drink only water or other calorie-free beverages, such as unsweetened tea. You should not continue the diet for more than seven days at a time.

However, you may repeat the diet as long as you wait at least two weeks before starting it again. To follow the Cabbage Soup Diet, you need to prepare large batches of cabbage soup to eat multiple times per day. You are also allowed to eat 1—2 other foods each day. Although the Cabbage Soup Diet will probably help you lose weight, most of that weight is likely to come back as soon as you stop the diet. Notably, when you severely restrict your calorie intake or lose a lot of weight, your body responds by lowering your metabolic rate , reducing the number of calories you burn per day 1 , 2 , 3.

However, your metabolism may start to diminish as early as three days into a very-low-calorie diet. This slowdown may explain why it is so hard to prevent weight gain after going off your diet 1 , 2. Studies indicate that when obese people follow very-low-calorie diets for 4—12 weeks under the supervision of a doctor, they can experience significant short-term improvements in weight loss and metabolic health 3 , 4 , 5.

A few studies show that even short-term, very-low-calorie diets can temporarily decrease insulin resistance , even though they are too short to produce large changes in body fat 6 , 7. Another potential positive of the Cabbage Soup Diet is that you are not forced to go hungry, as you may eat as many of the allowed foods as you want each day.

The diet also includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are low in calories and high in fiber. Unlike other diets that force you to purchase expensive supplements or books, this diet only requires you to buy the low-cost ingredients for the soup and a few other basic foods. The Cabbage Soup Diet is very low in calories, so it should cause you to lose weight if you can stick with it. However, it is likely that any weight loss will be temporary. Although the Cabbage Soup Diet may help you lose some weight, its drawbacks may outweigh its benefits.

One of the main problems with the Cabbage Soup Diet is that it can only be followed for one week, which is not long enough for meaningful weight loss. Your body can only burn so much fat per week. The other two-thirds comes from lost water weight and muscle mass 1. Normally, glycogen binds to water molecules in your body. However, as soon as you return to a less restrictive diet, your body will rebuild those emergency stores and take on water weight again — even if you continue with a healthy diet 9.

The Cabbage Soup Diet has so few food choices that it is deficient in many vitamins and minerals and offers no real source of protein on most days. It also requires frequent large-batch cooking in order to prepare enough cabbage soup, which may be a drawback for some people. The Cabbage Soup Diet is bland, hard to stick to and deficient in many nutrients.
