Why is the cabbage soup diet not recommended for kids?

Hi Tahje,
Children should not go on a cabbage soup diet. Diets that restrict entire food groups like e.g. bread, noodles... are not appropriate for children. Such a diet limits fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and other important nutrients that kids need to support development and growth.

If you think your child might be overweight check instead our

All the best,
Gabriela
