Popular on the Internet: Drinking cabbage soup for 7 consecutive days to lose weight, claiming to lose 6 kg in a week

The so-called "cabbage soup diet" has become popular on the Internet recently. It is said to be derived from the "drinking cabbage soup for 7 consecutive days to lose weight" proposed by an Australian nutritionist. In order to avoid being too monotonous, some onions, mushrooms, celery, tomatoes, carrots and other ingredients are added to the cabbage soup, or peppers are added to increase the flavor and taste. It is believed that this is a low-calorie, high-fiber method for weight loss. And after drinking it for 3 consecutive days, you can eat some chicken breast and brown rice in moderation, which can help you lose 6 kilograms in a week. It emphasizes that you don't have to diet or exercise to sweat, and you can easily achieve your goals. It can also effectively burn fat, which is another new option for lazy people to lose weight.

Cabbage contains a lot of dietary fiber, which is a good helper to increase satiety.

Liu Bowen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association and a weight loss specialist, said that cabbage originated from a vegetable commonly eaten by residents along the Mediterranean coast and is also a type of Mediterranean food. Because of its extremely high nutritional value, it is known as the "Korean ginseng among vegetables" and has been called cabbage over time. According to the 2017 edition of the Taiwan Food Composition Database, every 100 grams of cabbage contains approximately 25 calories and 2.5 grams of dietary fiber. Because cabbage contains a large amount of dietary fiber, it needs to be chewed carefully before swallowing. The chewing process will stimulate the satiety center, lowering the threshold of the satiety center, and then reducing calorie intake. For people who want to lose weight, it is a good helper to increase satiety. Cabbage contains other nutrients including: a large amount of vitamin C, carbohydrates, and rich calcium and potassium.

Dr. Liu Boen said that from a medical point of view, drinking cabbage soup for seven days in a row does not seem to be very healthy, because it may only cause dehydration and does not actually reduce body fat. Analyzing this weight loss diet, its principle is also an extremely low-calorie weight loss method, which uses calories lower than the basal metabolic rate every day to consume existing fat in order to achieve the goal of weight loss.

The so-called "cabbage soup diet" has become popular on the Internet recently. It is said to have originated from an Australian nutritionist who proposed "drinking cabbage soup for 7 consecutive days to lose weight."

Doctor: You can’t just eat cabbage soup for a long time. You must take in an appropriate amount of protein and starch every day.

In fact, you cannot eat cabbage soup alone for a long time. You must consume an appropriate amount of protein every day (about 70-80 grams), such as eggs, white meat, such as chicken, fish, etc.; and starch should also be consumed appropriately (starch accounts for about 60% of the calorie source), and its type should preferably not be too refined, such as brown rice or food with high resistant starch; as for the cabbage diet soup recipe, some vegetables such as onions, celery, tomatoes, carrots, etc. are added. Its purpose is to increase multiple vitamins and minerals to increase the metabolic rate.

It is generally recommended that when using the cabbage diet to lose weight, you must add foods high in protein in the later stages of the diet.

Generally speaking, when using the cabbage diet to lose weight, you must add foods high in protein in the later stages of the diet. This is because long-term consumption of cabbage soup can cause serious protein loss and lead to endocrine imbalance. In addition, the human body's metabolism also requires some essential amino acids, such as tryptophan, lysine, methionine, leucine, etc., so during the weight loss process it is generally recommended to eat white meat as much as possible, such as chicken and fish; beef and pork should be eaten less. In particular, if you only eat cabbage for a long time and do not touch starch at all, there is a risk of ketoacidosis, so you must also supplement starch in an appropriate amount.

[Notes from a weight loss doctor]:

Finally, Dr. Liu Boen reminded that people who want to adopt the cabbage soup weight loss method should be careful if they are patients with severe gastrointestinal ulcers, because long-term use of liquid food will increase the secretion of gastric acid and aggravate the symptoms of ulcers. In addition, foreigners generally consume a higher proportion of meat and fatty foods than Orientals, so using a vegan diet to lose weight in the short term is less likely to have the side effect of nutritional imbalance. However, it is not recommended for Orientals to use a vegan diet to lose weight in the long term.
