The basis for good health is a proper nutrition. The majority of people suffering from overweighting tried to limit food consumption too fast and too strictly. As the result they at first lost many kilos but then regain them much more rapidly. And what’s even worse they undermine their health considerably and sometimes without chances to get it back.
Cabbage will help?
The main element of this new soup diet is low-calorie soup which was considered to “burn” the fat. The food allowance is stringently limited and practically means everyday starvation. The people who keep to this diet are allowed to drink fresh water and it as much cabbage soup as they want, and sometimes other products which change regularly. This soup will help to loose 5-8 kilos per week. As you can it in any amounts and anytime you want the feeling of hunger will not bother you.
They say this diet was worked out in an American hospital still till this time none has claimed his rights for authority. Probably it was employed for the first time in Brussels (Belgium) hospital to help patients suffering from overweight in a serious form to loose wait fast before operation.
