What Is The Wonder Soup Diet?

There aredifferent namesfor the Wonder Soup Diet. Some call it GM diet (General Motors diet). Others call it the Military Diet, Miracle Soup Diet, Weight Loss Wonder Soup,Dolly Parton Diet,and 7 Day Cabbage Soup Diet Plan. Some people will mix this soup up with Atkins diet soup recipe or the Sacred heart diet soup recipe. There is just so many similar diet soups recipes available.

The Cabbage Soup Diet aims to help weight loss by eating lots of cabbage soup for seven days.

The diet varies from person to person, but it supposedly helps you:

• Drop 10 pounds quickly!
• Cleanse and remove toxins and impurities from your body.
• Enhance and burn body fat.
• Reduces bloating and improves digestion.

The 7-Day Diet plan is divided into seven days with strict rules about which food groups you can consume. For example, on Day One, it is limited to eating only as much cabbage soup and fruits (but no bananas) as possible.

This General Motors diet soup recipe reminds me a lot of the Chinese vegetable soup recipe that is common in Asian households. It would always include various vegetables with tomatoes and carrots at its core. On the other hand, Chinese cabbage soup recipes are made with napa cabbages and not regular cabbages.

Benefits of Weight Loss Magic Soup

There are many benefits of eating cabbage soup recipes like this. I love that this 7-DAY Wonder Soup Diet meal plan promotes healthy eating. Unlike other very-low-calorie diets, eating this cabbage soup, this multi-day soup diet is the best recipe for resetting a lifestyle change.

According to health experts, reducing your food intake of unhealthy, high-sugar, high-carbohydrate and starchy processed foods and drinking six to eight 250 mL (8 fl oz) glasses of water daily is an excellent start to a healthy diet.

You may lose little weight initially, but the results will become more apparent by the end of day seven!

I never thought I would enjoy going on a diet, but this eating plan tastes so good!

Cabbage Nutritional Benefits

Cabbage is a large, leafy green vegetable nutrient-rich, low-calorie food. Cabbage is a superfood that is often overlooked. It is a smart carb; every 100g of raw cabbage is just 25 calories, high in fibre.

1. Bone Health -Cabbages are rich in essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium and calcium. Vitamin C increases iron absorption, assists with wound healing and helps maintain bones, teeth, and cartilage.
2. Reduce Blood Pressure -Cabbages are potassium-rich. Potassium helps blood circulation and prevents heart disease.
3. Brain Superfood -Cabbage is rich in Vitamin K, an essential fat-soluble vitamin that regulates calcium in the bones and the brain.
4. Detox and Immune Boosting -Rich in Vitamin C, cabbages work to boost your immune system, work off sickness and play an essential role in detoxing the body.
5. Anti-Aging -Besides Vitamin C, cabbages help destroy free radicals in the body and maintain healthy skin elasticity, hair and nails, and discoloration.
6. Anti-Cancer -Cabbages contain preventative compounds such as Sulforaphane, lupeol, and sinigrin that inhibit the growth of cancers and carcinogens. Eating cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, bok choy are great for the body!
7. Anti-Inflammatory -Cabbges contain Glutamine, an anti-inflammatory agent.
8. Eye Health -Besides carrots, cabbage is full of beta-carotene that is prevalent for the delay of forming cataracts later in life.

Doesn't this vegetable broth sound delicious! Enjoy this soup with other fresh, non-starchy vegetables and see yourself glow in 7 days!

Ingredients and Substitutes

We love making this best cabbage soup diet recipe throughout the year, not just when looking for a quick detox. Compared to the original cabbage soup diet, we usually substitute by boiling the leafy green vegetables in water with chicken broth.

• Fresh Cabbage
• Celery
• Yellow Onion, White Onion or Purple Onion
• Carrots
• Red Peppers, Green Peppers or other bell peppers are excellent!
• Garlic Cloves
• Water - Chicken broth or vegetable broth are great flavour enhancers.
• Dried Basil
• Dried Oregano
• Dried Bay Leaves
• Fresh Ground Black Pepper
• Kosher Salt
• Olive Oil or vegetable oil.

Optional

• Fresh Tomatoes or canned crushed tomatoes
• Fresh Ginger - add a few slices if your TCM constituent is colder. This will help warm up the "colder properties" of this weight watcher soup.
• Paprika Powder, season to taste
• Curry Powder, season to taste
• Tumeric Powder, season to taste

Most dried ingredients, tools and supplies can be purchased at your local Asian markets and Chinese grocery stores orAmazon Online.

Instructions

The WW 0 POINT Weight Waters Cabbage Soup can be made in theInstant Potto ruthlessly reduce cooking time! Alternatively, cooking in a slow cooker or a large pot over the stovetop will do. Once the vegetables are tender, just simmer them for another 5 minutes.

I have tried different versions of these vegetable-based soups - adding zucchini, tomatoes, chili powder or red pepper flakes and sometimes non-dat bone broth to make it extra nutritious and a boost in flavour.

Wash and pat dry vegetables with a kitchen paper towel. Rough chop the vegetables. Set aside.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to theInstant Potand set to "Saute" mode. This would be equivalent to medium high heat on the stovetop.

Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic or cloves of garlic and onions. Sweat the raw onions and let fragrant for 2-3 minutes.

Add non-fat, unsalted chicken broth. Substitute with vegetable broth or cold drinking water if you prefer a vegan 7-Day Cabbage Soup Diet.

Add the remaining ingredients and herbs, such as cabbage, celery, carrots, tomatoes, green bell peppers, and seasoning. Dried basil, dried oregano, and dried bay leaves are the best herbs for vegetable soup. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Close the lid, set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 10 minutes, and let it naturally release pressure. If you are in a hurry, you can opt for a quick release.

Stovetop Method:Boil for 10 minutes until all the vegetables are tender. Then reduce heat to low-medium and simmer a further 5 minutes.

After the pressure valve drops, remove the lid.

Taste the cabbage diet soup and adjust it with salt and black pepper if desired.

Serve and enjoy!

How To Meal Prep 7-Day Wonder Soup

Make a big batch of this healthy soup recipe for your healthy diet meal prep. Enjoy the day's hot soup and store the rest in an airtight container in the refrigerator. We love using large mason jars and divide the soup into 7 large jars.

Every day, we will reheat the day's portion! This method helps reduce spoiling and cross-contamination.

7 Day Wonder Soup Diet Daily Plan Break Down

How does the 7 day soup diet work? And what can I eat during this 7 day Wonder Soup Diet program? This diet consists of eating cabbage soup as your main meal. Each day, you can have one or two other foods, such as fruit or vegetables.

Day 1: The first day of starting the cabbage soup diet is to normalize the body naturally. The diet flushes out impurities for a colon cleanse and enhances detox. The diet suggests grazing on berries to boost antioxidant levels. Enjoy as much soup as you want. You can enjoy fruits (except bananas). Best to eat low-sugar fruits like berries. Try frozen grapes, pineapples, blueberries or watermelon to make a refreshing treat during the summer!

Day 2: Enjoy eating vegetables only, except corn and starchy veggies, except a baked potato in the morning, on the second day. The vegetables count towards fibre, minerals and vitamins. The extra fibre promotes bowel movements. Steam or stir-fry your veggies with a teaspoon of olive oil with garlic, chilli powder, salt and pepper. Try a delicious salad with green leafy vegetables, salt and pepper,Spicy Kimchi Cauliflower Rice, or anair fryer Zucchini with Lemon Pepper. Today was fun, and I didn't miss the carbs from bread, etc.

Day 3: On day three, in addition to unlimited Wonder Cabbage Soup, you can eat both fruits and vegetables (except bananas, corn and other starchy veggies). Choose low-sugar fruits if possible. AnOven-Roasted Blistered CarrotsorCranberry Frisee Saladsounds excellent!

Day 4: Aside from cabbage soup, on day four, you can only eat bananas, dairy milk and milk alternatives such as almond milk and yogurt. Make a nice banana ice cream with frozen bananas orUnsweetened Korean Banana Milkto make this day more enjoyable.

Day 5: Start introducing other food groups back into your diet. You can eat tomatoes and protein such as lean white meat, chicken, fish, and turkey on day five. Cherry tomatoes are sumptuous for a quick snack. For lunch, make a grilled chicken or halibut and topped with Roma tomatoes seasoned with herbs and olive oil.

Day 6: We're almost there! Like the previous day, enjoy other vegetables besides tomatoes for day six. Remember to exclude starchy vegetables. ThisAlkaline SaladorRoasted corn Summer Saladis the perfect colour for your seven-day diet routine. Choose grilled and steamed lean proteins instead of processed and deep-fried food. No, you don't need that turkey sausage patty.

Day 7: On the final day of the Wonder Soup Diet! Hooray, you've come a long way! Today, you can only eat fruits, vegetables and freshly squeezed juice. Consider a papaya pineapple smoothie or a spinach apple smoothie. Again, we enjoy someeasy summer saladsfor lunch and a bowl of hotcauliflower rice.

I Completed the 7-Day Wonder Soup Diet, Now What?

Congratulations on completing a week-long diet on this Original Cabbage Soup Diet Plan! It takes a lot of discipline to stick with something for a week!

Don't you feel great after shedding a few pounds? After this week-long diet, you will notice a lot of bloating disappeared. During this Wonder Soup Diet, a lot of water weight was shed.

After a particular diet or any fad diet, healthy eating and making smart lifestyle habits is key. Continue with a diet filled with fruits, vegetables and lean meats. Eliminate bad carbohydrates, refined sugars, fat and processed fast food. Prioritize whole grain and whole food ingredients. Be sure to drink lots of water; otherwise, the body will want to hold on to fluids.

If you are not disciplined, it is easy to "rebound weight gain" after a quick weight loss relying on low-calorie foods. It is your body's attempt to bounce back to your pre-diet weight.

The following are frequently asked questions about the 7-Day Wonder Soup Diet.

Should you exercise on a Wonder Soup Diet?

It is not recommended to exercise during the week while on this low-calorie diet, eating only tomato and cabbage soup. However, I really enjoyed doing Yin Yoga and low-intensity training. Light exercises are great for lowering cortisol levels.

Alternatively, portion it into vacuum-sealed bags. Once the sous vide bags are vacuum sealed, place them into the freezer. Frozen vegetable soup should be consumed in the freezer within 2–3 months.

Whenever you crave this old Weight Watchers Cabbage Soup recipe, simply thaw it in boiling water or reheat it in a crockpot or pressure cooker.

I highly recommend cooking a big batch of low-sodium vegetable soup recipes like this to make an easy, nutritionally balanced meal. You can enjoy this soup regularly when you are not on a diet plan!
