Let soup cook for a long time (a hour works well). The idea is to eat as much cabbage soup as you like every day - enough to keep you full up. Plus specific additional foods on each day of the seven day diet. No alcohol is allowed. Water are not limited and unsweetened fruit juice on days when fruit is allowed. Thus total volume of cabbage soup is 4.2 l (148 oz.).

- Don’t add salt substitute to your soup, but you can add a little spice
- 6 large green onions (150 g/ 5 oz)
- 3 large tomatoes
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- Season to taste with salt,pepper,parsley, garlic powder, etc
- ½ bunch of parsley
One final con of the diet and perhaps a fairly embarrassing one; is the flatulence that comes with it. Cabbage has high sulfur content and as such produces a significant amount of gas in the intestinal tract as the food is being processed. This means that dieters are likely to suffer a fair amount of discomfort with feelings of bloating and the passing of substantial amounts of gas for the duration of the regime.
