protein during the diet?

Does adding protein (powder in a shake) to each day diminish the weight loss effects of the diet? If no, why wouldn't this have been in the original recipe?

Also, for a stir fry, can sauces like teryaki etc. be used in limited amounts?


Hi Jared,
no in contrast, protein helps you to burn fat instead of the muscle mass. The weight loss effect will be the same but much healthier and the switch to a new life style easier.

The orignal cabbage soup diet plan is more than 30 years old, very rigid and effective when it comes to body cleasing.

As quickstart for a healthy lifestyle however we highly recommend the newer cabbage soup diet plans with added protein.


Concerning Teryaki -

Teryaki is a mixture between
Soysauce, Mirin (a sweet japanese rice wine), Sugar, Vinegar and Seasonings. We don't recommend sauces with a sugar or high sodium content. Sugar will make you very hungry (eg. Ketchup) and sodium retains water in your body. A better option is to use low-sodium seasoning and herbs.

All the best,
Gabriela
