The Cabbage Soup Diet is a highly-restrictive diet plan only meant to be followed for one week. The plan's severe rules and reliance on one main food (cabbage soup several times daily) make it difficult and even dangerous, in some cases. There are much safer (and saner) ways to lose weight. If you have tried the cabbage soup diet, tell us: What drove you to attempt such an extreme plan? What lessons did you learn from your attempt to follow the cabbage soup diet?
