Protein Shakes

The Benefits of Protein for the cabbage soup diet

I receive many questions in the forum concerning the recommended protein shakes for the cabbage soup diet. That’s why I’ve dedicated a seperate article to this important theme.


Why it is recommended to add proteinshakes to the 7 day cabbage soup diet

There is no question that the intake of proteinshakes gets you through your cravings, helps you stick to the diet, keeps you motivated and gives you a lot of energy. But there is another reason why we recommend them.

One of the main disadvatages of the classic cabbage soup diet plan was the lack of protein.

Protein however is the substance our muscles are made. Protein gives power and has fat melting properties. When we eat protein our body needs energy to exploit it – and this energy usually comes from our fat deposits….

It is claimed that when you do the cabbage soup diet without protein you may risk to melt the important muscle mass too!

How many shakes per day are allowed

We recommend the intake of two protein shakes per day while on cabbage soup diet. One in the morning (great after your fat burning workouts) and one in the late afternoon. Find here the convenenient cabbage soup diet plan with integrated proteinshakes.

If you don't like these shakes we recommend to ensure your protein intake with the improved cabbage soup diet plan better known as our miracle soup diet - based on dairy products.

But I'm sure you will like these delicious recipes below.

Delicious Proteinshake Recipes

Recipe 1: Protein Shake in the morning

protein shakes
  • 1 glass of low fat/fatfree milk

  • (you may use instead butter milk, kefir or water)
  • 2 tablespoons protein powder

  • mix together in a bleder for 15 seconds.

    Recipe 2: Fat Burner Shake in the afternoon

    This is also nowadays one of my favorite drinks.
    Mix together in a blender:

  • small pieces of ˝ Pawpaw
    (peeled and seeds removed),

  • juice of 1 lemon, and 1 orange,

  • 1 cup low fat/fatfree milk or
    (cold drinking whey)

  • Add 2 tbsp protein powder –
    mix 15 seconds! What a taste!

    If you don’t have the above mentioned fruits you may of course take the protein shake recipe from the morning also for the afternoon.
    By the way, the proteinpowder from VPX below works even only with water!

    Can I drink proteinshakes every day?

    Yes you may have every day of the 7 day cabbage soup diet
    max. 2 shakes. And even after your cabbage soup diet week we warmly recommend to drink at least one fat burner drink after your workouts (hopefully you stick to fat bunring workouts also after the diet ;-))

    What kind of Protein Powder is recommended?

    The best proteinpowder is of course the natural one with zero carbohydrates.

    But you can use also soy proteinshakes, and even two slimfast shakes per day will give you great results.

    Where can I buy the Protein Powder?

    You can buy it in every good drugstore or online e.g at -- or bodybuilding.com. Find here a small list of our recommendations:


    Can I use flavored Proteinshakes

    Although we are more the "natural freaks" our own experience in 2009 with vanilla flavored Proteinshakes have proved excellent weight loss results too.
