difference between Day 5 and Day 6

If you're allowed as many vegetables as you want on any day with vegetables (including day 5 - meat and tomato day) and you're allowed as many tomatoes as you want on any day with vegetables (including day 6 - meat and veggie day). Then what exactly is the difference between the two?

Hi Jennifer,
thank you for this question - you are absolutely right. The cabbage soup diet plans mostly suggest for day 5 a meat/fish & tomato combination while they allow for day 6 meat/fish and all veggies. This strict food order should help to keep the Insuline Level low and that again reduces possible hunger cravings.

Our own experience over the years has shown, that the cabbage soup diet works excellent too, when you consume all vegetables already on day 5 (instead of only tomatoes).

In other words when you eat the same meat/vegetable combinations on day 5+6, most people will see a similar successful weight loss. (without higher hunger cravings.)

All the best,
Gabriela
