INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: No instructions came with recipe--Glen
If you ARE referring to the Cabbage Soup diet recommended for severely
overweight surgery patients, then you are also referring to the Cabbage
Soup diet that is one of the most UNHEALTHY ways to lose weight! This is
for people for whom it is a matter of LIFE and DEATH, not for the average
overweight Joe. For one, it doesn't provide the necessary nutrition for the
"average" American, and for two, unless you stay on the diet (VERY bad
idea), you will quickly regain the weight you lost.
This is an excerpt from an article at:

"Many fad diets, like the cabbage soup diet, take advantage of people's
desire for instant results by creating the myth that certain foods - in
this case cabbage - have magical weight loss properties," says Robert H.
Eckel, M.D., a member of the American Heart Association's Nutrition
Committee and professor of medicine and physiology at the University of
Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver. "
