If you have some thing crucial coming up and you need to lose weight fast, the Cabbage Soup Diet may be just what you will want. This diet will help you lose weight and lose weight rapidly, at the same time providing your body with a healthy supply of vitamins and minerals while you're on a fast. You can drop 8 to 10 lbs within only a week on a steady supply of nutrition. The recipe is made up of green peppers, whole tomatoes, carrots, mushrooms, cabbage, celery, Lipton soup mix, bouillon, V8 juice, and seasonings.

As for the fasting diet itself, throughout the first day, eat only the cabbage soup and any fruit with the exclusion of banana. You can drink unsweetened tea, black coffee and water. For the following day, eat, uncooked or cooked vegetables other than sweet corn, peas, and dry beans, in addition to all the cabbage soup you want. Do not eat fruits. For dinner, eat a big baked potato. On the third day, eat just as much as fruit, vegetables, and soup which you wish. For the fourth day, consume 8 bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk, along with the cabbage soup.

For the sixth day, eat beef and fresh vegetables or salad, together with at at a minimum one serving of cabbage soup.

Here is the original Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe

Half a head of cabbage

6 large green onions

2 green peppers

3 carrots

1 container of mushrooms

1 bunch of celery

1 or 2 cans of tomatoes

1 package of Lipton Onion soup mix

1 48oz can of V8 juice (optional)

1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional)

Season with salt, pepper, curry, garlic powder, parsley, or any seasoning that you like.

1. Chop all of the vegetables.

2. Add everything to a pot of water just covering the vegetables, never use tap water.

3. Bring water to boil

4.Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes until vegetables are soft.

The Lipton Onion soup mix does not taste very good to me. I have used a onion soup mix from Aldi Supermarket and like it much better. Also I can't stand V8 juice, so I leave it out. Aldi is short for "Albrecht Discount", it is a discount supermarket chain based in Germany.
