Gain Weight on the cabbage soup diet

Can anyone "gain" weight on the cabbage soup diet?

Everyone’s body reacts different. Some people don’t see any weight loss until the last day of the cabbage soup diet. Others gain some weight the first days. But in the end they feel lighter and have usually dropped some pounds.

It depends also on how often you have been on the cabbage soup diet or another quick weight loss program or how overweight you are. If you repeat this diet too often the weight loss effect might decrease.

Another important aspect is that the higher your sodium (salt) intake per day the more water is retained in the body and you might end up gaining weight (water). That’s why we recommend for the cabbage soup recipe the use of low sodium bouillon cubes or low sodium salt.

I'm on Day 3 of The Cabbage Soup Diet and gained 2 pounds. Is there a limit on how much soup and other allowed foods for the day you are on and how often you are eating for that day? (by Unknown)

Most of your question is answered above.
For the soup and allowed foods there is no limit.
We recommend 5 meals a day: Breakfast, Break, Lunch, Break and Dinner. You may eat soup also in between whenever hungry. All the best!
