The other day I read an article from the magazine while waiting for my husband in hair salon, the latest, hottest weight-loss diet in Japan is EATING CABBAGE!

So to proof it, I went online & do a little bit of research.

In HowStuffWorks, it mentioned ” Cabbage also offers a major payoff — the fewest calories and least fat of any vegetable. This powerful veggie is a must for dieters trying to lose weight.”
 

Anyway, there is this doctor attended one of the TV program in Japan & explain here secret of weight-loss.

• Before dinner, have to eat 1/6 of a cabbage everyday
• To have the best effect, eat it raw or with some lemon juice
• If not use to raw cabbage, just microwave it for 2 mins
• In order to have a balance diet, everyday has to take in 70g of Soya Bean/Fish/Eggs/Meat, for rice & noodles, take as little as possible
• Best consume oil would be sesame oil & olive oil

The magazine also accompanied with a 7 day weight-loss meal course.

Then I also found this recipes online at AboutCabbageSoupDiet.com, however the preparation of the cabbage soup is different. So you can choose & see which one you preferred.

Something I should remind, I haven’t tried this diet yet, hence I’m not too sure whether will it work. Please bare in mind, having a sexy & perfect figure is everyone’s dream, but health is more important, exercise more & eat healthy. If you really like to try it, you can give it a go & challenge it. Please remember to share with me about your results & thoughts.
