Home | Health & Fitness | Weight Loss The Cabbage Soup diet calls for, as its name suggests, eating cabbage soup for seven consecutive days. During this period, dieters only eat cabbage soup and a few other foods to lose weight. The diet plan is not a life plan like some popular diet programs, and requires no long-term lifestyle changes beyond the week-long duration of the diet plan. There are many versions of the recipe for cabbage soup. Most contain spices, cabbage and other vegetables, such as onions, celery, bell peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Some dieters like to add spices to enhance the soup. Other people concerned with sodium intake want to use a low-sodium recipe. Many current versions of the diet include sources of protein, such as protein shakes and tofu to make the eating program more satisfying. Besides cabbage soup, there are highly specific rules for which additional foods are permitted on each day of the diet. As a general guideline, dieters may eat cabbage soup every day, along with fruit on day one, vegetables on day two, fruit and vegetables on the third day, bananas and skim milk on the fourth day, tomatoes and beef on day five, vegetables and beef on day six, and vegetables, fruit juice, and brown rice on day seven. Dieters then go back to normal dietary habits, hopefully now weighing a few pounds less. Is the Cabbage Soup diet truly the answer for losing weight? Although no official scientific research has studied the diet conclusively, those who have used the weight loss program report varying results. For a number of people, the plan resulted in weight loss (up to ten pounds), but only for a limited time, as the weight gradually came back as the dieter returned to their normal meal plans. Some people claimed to experience fatigue, light-headedness, and lack of focus while on the diet. Other people experienced no effects at all, experiencing no illness, but no weight loss either. The Cabbage Soup diet program is among countless popular diets that people can try. However, because this diet may not be best for everyone, for many people it just adds to the difficulty of being unable to lose weight. A better method of dieting does not rely on fad diets or temporary dieting techniques. It takes consistent work and long-term health commitments to maintain healthy weight loss. This means eating healthy and getting plenty of physical activity. Unfortunately, many people fight to keep up the habits needed to take weight off. Several frequent dieters cannot seem to lose weight because of their intense food cravings, out-of-control appetites or dietary habits, or a lack of motivation. Weight loss hypnotherapy is useful for resolving these problems and providing the motivation needed for losing weight. One of the reasons hypnosis is excellent as a weight loss tool is because hypnosis may be used for appetite regulation. A great number of us have out-of-control appetites because they experience emotional eating which makes them have an unconscious drive to eat even when they aren't really hungry. Hypnotherapy helps reprogram the unconscious mind to stop the urge to overeat, resulting in appetite control without the use of drugs. Another way hypnosis works to help you take weight off is by removing the stressful thoughts that give you the urge to overeat and sap your motivation to stay on an exercise plan. The moment you begin to think negatively, hypnosis taps into your unconscious to naturally think positively, which causes you to become more relaxed. Your motivation to exercise can be greatly enhanced through hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). First, you pinpoint what the most significant aspects of your life are. Then you use NLP to guide you into believing that the things that mean the most to you will become enhanced when you exercise, or placed at risk if you fail to do so. Thus, it becomes simple to stay motivated to exercise and stay physically fit. Everyone has the ability to learn weight loss hypnosis and NLP techniques from a high quality weight loss hypnosis CD program. The techniques in hypnosis diet CDs use the power of unconscious thoughts to help dieters stop their cravings. By ending urges and cravings, the appetite is reduced or eliminated entirely. Hypnosis can also help get you motivated to get physically active and shed weight. By reprogramming your unconscious mind, hypnosis makes losing weight a natural process. It is a superb tool to make you feel motivated and naturally committed healthy habits. So before embarking on a fad diet, think about a healthier approach to losing weight through physical fitness, eating healthy, staying positive, and using hypnosis therapy to reach your goals.
