Diet Cabbage Soup! Lose Ten Pounds In A Week! And Delicious! 

I'm 275 and very uncomfortable in my own skin!! i tried dieting but I always start and end within days, I'm going to try this and stick with it . I love cabbage. This weight is starting to effect my health knees and back is killing me.Pray for my journey

I used this diet I weighed 235 pounds and miserable so I tried it and lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks I had to go off of it for 2 weeks then back on it. I lost another 25 pounds, so I did it off and on through the summer as needed and lost a total of 78 pounds. I was very happy, whenever I need to loose a few pounds I use it again.

Worked for me! Nice diet. Lost 10.5 lbs in 7 days. I ate half a banana and a cup of yogurt in the morning, two bowls of soup a day, and a dill pickle in the afternoon for a snack. I drank coffee with milk, and water with lime juice. Never felt hungry. Good luck!

I was diagosed with diabetes in December and immediately changed my diet. I have always loved cabbage and make it with a little tomato sauce. So I started to make the soup with fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, scallions and add cut up italian sausage or little meatballs for protein. It's fast and easy and delicious as a full meal. In 2 and half month, eating it almost every day for lunch I've lost 20 pounds and brought down my blood glucose level from 262 to 115. I probably will eat it forever as I can't regain weight without dire consequences. Good thing I love it.

Fair warning, this may be a long comment! This soup works to lose weight because it is a calorie deficit meal, meaning it costs your body more calories to process it than it provides. In addition, it is a cleansing soup. If you've been eating a standard western diet you may have 10-25 pounds of unprocessed or putrified food waste in your intestinal tract. This soup clears it out, that's why so many comment that they're running to the bathroom the first few days. It also prepares the body to accept healthier, more nutritious food. Now, to those who want to change the recipe somewhat, yes you can and here's how: Don't want or can't take canned tomatoes? Use fresh tomatoes or a small can or even just a tablespoon or two of tomato paste or no tomatoes at all. Substitute any other low carb veggies you like. Use broth, stock or bone broth instead of water if you want more flavor. Add the spices and herbs you like. Fresh or dried parsley, basil, thyme, ginger, cumin, coriander, etc. but they're not the only ones you can use. Want spinach or kale but don't like it overcooked? Steam it and add it to your bowl with the soup. Any low carb veggies will do. Some cooking is a science, some is an art. This soup is art with the only rule being cabbage and lots of low carb veggies. Still hungry after one bowl a few weeks into this diet? Add a teaspoon of fat to your bowl, it will keep you full longer. No vegetable oils, only olive, coconut, avocado oil, butter or animal fat. Don't like overcooked cabbage? Add it 15 minutes before soup is done so its still a little crunchy. No corn, potatoes, peas, beets, turnips or other high carb veggies. Use celery leaves if you want, mushrooms, asparagus, zucchini, broccoli, collard greens, Swiss chard, green beans or whatever makes it palatable to YOU so that it's not a punishment but a joy to consume. Look at John Caputo's comment below. He was hesitant because he didn't like the original but changed it to his liking and succeeded in losing weight! In short, make it your own favorite soup! Best of success to you all and thanks for taking the time if you've read this far!

Love listening to this man. No cutesy distractions or unnecessary info, just straight talk about all we need to know about making a good soup or any other recipe he’s sharing.

It’s no joke! I lost 11 lbs in a week with regular working out and eating about 1 1/2 cups of this for lunch and dinner. This stuff is tasty and keeps you going with all day energy.

This actually works! I have been using cabbage stew to replace what I eat for lunch and I lost 6 pounds already! Gonna continue on strong and build up healthy habits!

Thanks for the recipe! I’m 28 days into my weight loss journey and I’ve officially lost 10 lbs ❤️ more importantly, I’m the happiest I’ve been in a VERY long time☺️ feeling proud of myself.

Very nice to watch: straight to the point, no loud music in the background, the kitchen and utensils are clean, and he speaks clearly without theatrics. Good, good, job!

Found this about a year ago and I always come back to this. I’ve lost about 30 lbs now at 150 and plan to get to 125. I’ve heightened my exercise between doing hit cardio, yoga, weights and this soup. I might finally have my dream body come summer. Thank you for this recipe a million times over!

I like the fact this guy's got a badass tattoo and is making a weight loss cabbage soup. I salute you sir.

It's been 6 days since I tried your soup diet, OMG it's amazing. I started at 196 pounds and on the 5th day I weigh myself and I am 187 pounds.

A friend gave me this recipe 30+ years ago. Then it was called The TWA Stewardess Diet. It tastes great and yes I lost weight but never felt hungry. Actually I felt more energized because everything in this soup is very good for our health, vitamins galore, calories no more than a few. Glad this post reminded me of this delicious soup. I don't need to lose weight, but I'd definitely eat it for the nutrition. Thanks for sharing !

I made a cabbage soup diet a while ago and I lost 20 pounds in one week. I'm going to do it again! Thank You!

My father, who was a surgeon, gave out this recipe to obese patients to help them lose weight before surgery! Interesting to see it again! It really works, and does not weaken the dieter.

Celery leaves are the best part of the stalk. Us Italian’s use it in everything.

I did this diet back in 1981. It was in Woman’s Day magazine. It was called Peel a lb soup. The way it works is it actually burns more calories to digest it than it has in it. I dropped 15 lbs in 2 weeks. Have plenty of toilet paper on hand.

CARPEL TUNNEL WARNING !!: Just a Heads Up! from my carpel tunnel surgeon: everytime you smash garlic with the butt of your hand, you are damaging the carpel tunnel nerve that comes up thru your wrist right there. You are hitting it hard and will damage it over time. Instead, ball up your fist and hit the knife with the pudgy OUTSIDE of your hand. Works great and saves your hand! Great video! Hugs!

I did this last year and went from 235lbs down to about 190lbs over the span of 2 months. Similar recipe, but I also added chicken or shrimp for extra lean protein. I cooked/stored the proteins separately and you can just add a bit of chicken to each bowl when it's heated up. This stuff really works. It fills you up and you don't even feel like you are dieting.

I did this diet 25 years ago I went from a size 22 to a 8 in less than a year and I felt great more energy and since I have asthma I could breath better. I kept it off for 6years

This soup really works. I followed it more than 20yrs ago. Thanks for reminding me. My secret was to add 1 new veggie as each day progressed.

My wife and I are eating the soup twice a day but we added a little to your recipe. We doubled the amount of chili powder and the hot sauce. The bite stays with us longer and stops us from getting hungrynbetween lunch and supper. You are correct though, it is the best vegetable soup ever.

About 21 years ago this soup was a pivotal part of my losing 55lbs. I used chicken broth and added zucchini. Love this soup

Just a suggestion..for more flavorful soup. Sweat/saute your onions, garlic first then add carrots & celery (use the leaves!) with pinch of salt in a little olive oil. You'll get more flavor. Then add other herbs & spices. Then cabbage & saute a bit. Add tomatoes & water. Your broth will have more flavor this way & veggies too. Adjust salt & pepper at the end. If you want boosted weight loss add sliced fennel bulb with the cabbage...a french staple for weight loss. Fennel will give another flavor or just use crushed fennel seed for depth. This is about losing fluid weight due to potassium content in the soup for those initial 10 lbs.

I sautéed my vegetables first w/ a lil olive oil, then added my tomato sauce & tomato soup w/ chicken stock & herbs & spices. Let the veggies reduce, then add the cabbage. Simmer & cook until cabbage is soft. I use celery salt, salt, pepper, garlic salt, Italian seasonings & a pinch of sugar, to reduce the acidity. When making soups, always sauté your veggies first, for ultimate flavor. Lastly, I do add a lil ground beef for flavor & rice on the side for my family. Even w/ the ground beef, I continue to lose weight. This is so - oh good!

Thanks for not making this agonizingly slow. Sounds really good and healthy

The celery leaves give lots of flavor, I recommend keeping them in! :)

Why would anyone dislike this video? This soup looks delicious and is currently making my mouth water!

The celery leaves are perfectly fine to cut up and add to the pot. Also, try pea pods, cauliflower, and/or broccoli. The more the merrier!

Use the celery leaves

One of the BEST explanation on the cooking part of the soup. No one else seems to cover "do Not boil" part. Great instruction.

It seems like I'm late to the party but I'm actively 2 weeks into trying this diet and I couldn't have been more satisfied and blessed. July 8 I weighed in at 196. I started this diet July 15 (praying for a miracle). July 28th, 13 days later I weighed in at 187. This diet along with walking for at least an hour 3 times a week has given me something to look forward to. Be blessed you guys and just know, it works. I just made my 3rd pot yesterday. See you guys on the slimmer side. People have started to think I'm crazy because I'm telling everybody on the track, at the park, in Walmart, everywhere I go. This is my new weight watchers

I've been making this soup since the 70s. It was originally a Weight Watchers recipe. It's an excellent resource to tap into, when you want to lose weight. Thanks for posting this video!!! 💖

I made this soup and it came out delicious! Very filling and healthy. Even my husband, who always asks "where's the beef?" really loved it. I left out the hot sauce but that's something people can add to their individual bowls.

I been cooking this soup for years and yes, it helped me to lose weight, I just cannot eat it for more then 3 days. Some tips: try to add celery leaves, they will give you so much flavor, also - I never use so much tomatoes, tomatoes have a lot of carbs and sugar, plus when using canned tomatoes read label- some tomatoes filled with sugar! I prefer using 1-2 medium size fresh tomatoes. Also adding vegetable soup base (natural) helps with flavor. You are welcome. Good luck

My Nanny loved to eat. Mother made her some of this soup hoping to help her lose weight. Well a week later she had gained. Bless her heart she was making her iron skillet cornbread to eat with it. 💜 Loved my sweet Nanny

There’s a very similar diet that’s a vegetable soup diet,you eat the soup for every meal then on the seventh day you are allowed 4oz of meet.A bunch of us at work tried it and it did work everybody lost between 8-15lbs per week.It was created by a heart Dr.

Loved this! I ate it for 10 days straight; I’m single, took that long to finish it. Was good every time, kept it in the fridge for 10 days fine. It makes a lot, my big pot was not big enough, I’ll reduce water next time. Unfortunately I didn’t lose a single pound, most likely because I didn’t alter the rest of my diet. Still had my chips and cookies. Next batch I will try it solo.

This recipe really works. I started on it on August 16 at 267 lbs. Yesterday August 23, I weighed myself and I had lost 11 lbs!! Yay!!! Thank you. I intend to keep using this recipe until I reach my goal of 200 lbs.

Two more days on the soup, on my last bowl today going to make another batch later. I am very happy this soup has helped break my weight plateau. I am now down ten pounds!!!! Definitely boosted my confidence. I see it, I love it I definitely recommend it. Before I started I was at 129.0, today I am 120.8 with two more days to go. Don't worry I will still post on last day. This was just an update.

Hello from Ottawa, Canada. Been making this soup based on your recipe for the past 4-6 months. Your technique is the secret to making the soup taste great! I am modifying it as my wife and I prefer parsley to oregano. Plus I cook the chili powder with curry in goat milk butter before adding it the soup as my wife came from parents who were originally from Trinidad. Thank you for your technique! 😊

Also Basil blends well when using Tomatoes Try using Pink Himalayan Salt instead of table Salt as its much more beneficial and wont "scratch" your veins causing your Cholesterol to then increase (in order to repair the damages).

My husband says you should call this "Lose 10 Pounds And Everyone You Love In A Week". 😁

It really works too... I went from 193 lbs. to 178 in one week.. I got off for 2 weeks, gained 5 more lbs.. getting ready to try it Again.❤

I use this, as needed, to maintain my weight: I'm 5'7", weigh 128-130. This is NOT hype, REALLY WORKS. Delicious! I sometimes eat this, not dieting, but because it is tasty!

Loved the tutorial. Short and simple. Easy to understand. I will definitely try to do it in the next few days.

Just finished my first pot 🍲. Noticed that it actually helped get rid of some stubborn belly fat. I'll be making another pot 🍲.

I made this for the first time today in an electric pressure cooker. I loaded mine with chillies and put in a bit of vegetable stock. I'm sweating and nose is running, bloody good stuff.

I've been making this soup for the last 5 years or so, I cook mine in the Instant pot High pressure for 10 minutes then let sit and release pressure after 8 minutes. I use veg stock instead of water, I also add 2 zucchinis , a few bay leaves and use the celery leaves. I also add 1 bag of frozen cooked spinach after soup is done cooking in the instant pot.

FYI: For anyone trying to lose a large amount of weight again, I want you to celebrate every 10 lbs. you lose and here’s why: My best friend struggled with weight loss for years. She tried every kind of weight loss diet including fasting and liquid diets prescribed by physicians. She would always plateau and remain stagnant for a period of time and become discouraged. We happened to be grocery shopping when she lamented that she’d only dropped 14 lbs. so far but still needed to drop another 150 lbs. I told her to follow me to the meat counter. I put 14 lbs. of hamburger in her shopping cart and told her that it was about the same consistency as the weight and fat she’d just removed from her body. I asked her if she wanted to pick up all of the packages and carry them in her arms around her waistline instead of using a shopping cart! She started crying. She told me that not one of all “the professionals” she’d consulted had ever given her such a mind blowing visual of what that weight looked like! Or how much her back, stomach, knees and hips had been carrying! From this one little demonstration, she’d learned to appreciate visually what a great achievement she’d just accomplished! I told her that whenever she lost sight of the amount of weight she still needed to lose, to go to the store and repeat this exercise to remind her of what she was no longer carrying on her body and to celebrate each milestone. She was astounded how much this visual exercise did for her perspective. So, I thought I would pass this story on to anyone who’s struggling with weight loss. I hope it helps you.

He did the one thing that other videos forget to do. He told you how many times a day to eat the soup. Now, I'm assuming it's one or two cups, per serving, twice a day - and yes, this recipe looks absolutely DELISH!!! Thank you, sir!!! You are appreciated.

This recipe has changed so many times in the last 20 some years I had the original recipe for this soup and used this soup to loose weight in the 90s it does work 😊

I can't eat enough of this delicious soup. I make it at least once a month. Tracey from Austin Texas

I heard about this diet years ago when I was in college and tried it. I used onion soup mix and absolutely NO salt. I dropped 25 lbs in 10 days so I know it works. After seeing this video, I think I'll give it another go. I want to jump start my weight loss then gradually switch over to a continuous low carb, moderate protein lifestyle.

A week of eating this means a week of sitting on the commode. My mom would make me eat cabbage soup a LOT when I was a kid. She said it flushed out the toxins. It did alright. It flushed EVERYTHING out.

Your soup is the best recipe on RU-vid . Easy to follow it does work . I use to do this diet in my late 20's but forgote the recipe . I need to loose a few pounds . Thank you lots . 🙏💝

This was the best cabbage soup recipe that I followed ! Thanks so much I liked my cabbage 🥬 more on the less cooked side of things it was so great ❤

I have tried this cabbage soup diet many times over the years and each time I lost an enormous amount of weight. IT WORKS!!!

My husband and I have made this soup on a larger scale and canned it. It is part of our pantry stock just like fresh canned beans and the peaches.

Aside from the minimal calorie intake for its bulk, probably the high fiber content and high amount of phytonutrients help your overall health which makes it easier to lose weight through making you feel good. Thanks for the recipe!

Making it now. Love your tutorial. Short and simple

I'm sitting here reading the comments at midnight, while mindlessly dipping my hand in and out of a family sized box of Crunch and Munch 😑. Might need that cabbage soup real soon... 😂

What,, the celery leaves are the most tasteful,,, I add them to all my dishes,🥰

I have tried a lot of these cabbage soup recipes and this one is by far the best. what i like is i can add as much seasoning as i want

Thanks for this. I've been making this for months now. I do not add salt. I precook my carrots beforehand in another pot to soften them (now I use canned carrots). I add potatoes, diced (now I use presliced canned potatoes.) Water works fine, but vegetable broth from the store makes it a little better.

I made this soup but I added spinach and mushrooms. It was fantastic. I have lost 9 lbs. in 2 weeks.

I like that it’s both vegan and gluten free, and sounds delicious.

I ate this recipe for 10 weeks straight, everyday! I lost 100 lbs, and now I’m down to 59 lbs, it really works!

this recipe is really good, I have made it multiple times, I freeze in small bags then heat and blend into a thick drink for breakfast, it is so good. I never knew that you should not boil, that made a huge difference I think.

I made the soup and LOVE it! One small change- I used fire roasted diced tomatoes, instead of adding hot sauce. Delish!

I love this soup, But there's no need to throw away the leaves from the celery, They are very good for you in very flavorful

I love this soup, it’s great, because even if you are eating but eating less, you simply eat a small bowl or cup in between your smaller meals!

Donno why this populated in my feed but I watched it, loved it & subscribed. Something really special here. Am going to have my wife do this for me. Thanks for this real cooking presentation 👍🏾

I made this yesterday and it’s delicious!! Lost one pound last night. 9 more to go!!

I like your style, man! I have seen several versions of this and NONE of them are as simple and easy to follow as yours! You did an amazing job with this tutorial. Thank you for putting yourself out there! I know this has helped a lot of people. Keep doing your thing, man. It works!

I used organic versions of everything and it turned out fantastic. I used himalayan pink salt because it contains the nutrients not provided by processed white salt. And instead of tabasco, I used obrothers organic habanero sauce. This is the best soup. The flavor is amazing. Thanks!

looks great my mom would make cabbage soup to diet and it worked but I never got her recipe before she passed and this one looks like what she made so Thank you !

I remember making this in my 20's and actually following the diet I had back then. I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks, took a week off continuing to eat healthy, back on the diet another 2 weeks and lost approx 25 lbs. I kept it off for a long time. Now 52 and I'm gonna do this again.

I did this with unsalted vegetable broth, instead of water, yum.

Just made this and it came out great!! Looking for a butternut squash recipe now ☺️

I just wanted to let you know I saved this recipe, rewatch this video, and make it often. I love it and love that I know it’s healthy for me. Tastes delicious.

I just lost 25 pounds in three weeks... This soup is just so good and it work... Thank you for sharing, long live to Broken kettle recipes...

I lost 8lbs the 1st week. I woulda lost more I know but I had 2 days where did to my job I only ate it once that day. I feel SO much better an this weight loss has given me the boost, the encouragement that YES! I CAN lose these 30 lbs!! The last day of the 1st wk I weighed myself and less than an hour later a co-worker said, "You've lost weight, haven't you?" I'm pumped and am starting to make my 2nd batch. Wanna lose the complete 10 lbs this time!!!

Hey, don't waste the greens from the celery - they add great flavor to anything you put them in! Thanks for the recipe - I remember the days of the cabbage soup diet, it worked for me!

Great recipe! Celery leaves are an amazing addition to this. Very good flavor in soups! Always add them in!

Sounds gr8, I'm already down 36 Lbs from walking and cutting out most breads products & such over the last 12 months (slow but steady), but have 24 more to go so I am jumping on this one starting tomm. I feel great never get sick and am learning to fully appreciate this body as a temple given by our Creator. Thank you all for recipes and comments!

I’ve been making this soup for over 40 years! I always use the celery leaves for flavor and add a bag of frozen green beans. I use a combo of tomato juice or V8 and fat free broth (bone broth would add loads of nutrients!) rather than plain water for the liquid. Then I live on the stuff for days to come. You can portion it out on containers for freezing. A sprinkle of parmesan on top of the hot soup is tasty too.

Thank you for this recipe and all the explanations, I'm going to give it a try 👍

My mom used to make this for my dad when I was a kid. Adding Vinegar really adds to the flavor and is great for the body.

Bay leaves would be a lovely addition

Who cares if it's a diet soup? It's delicious. Made it last night. So yummy!

This is THE BEST recipe I have EVER made!!! Thank you. I could eat this 24/7/365

Omg this is SO good. Love when diet food tastes better than most dishes!

im 69 yrs old. just saw this last night. starting it today 270 pounds on my scale(add 8 for doctors scale). i will keep you updated. and my wife is thrilled thinking i might be a man doll some day.lol

I am on my fifth day of eating this soup and I started craping out pieces of candy bars and chunks of gum I swallowed when I was a kid in the sixties. It will clean a person out.

Different recipe from one I used 30 years ago. It was simply cabbage, onions, celery & water. I hated it so I almost skipped over your vid. But your recipe looks so good and more like a proper healthy soup. I’m going to get all the ingredients and give it a try.

Thanks for sharing this! My mom used to cook this for us all the time, but she passed away and I've been unable to find the recipe. This is it!!

never throw the celery leaves away as they add flavor.
