Is it possible to just boil a head of lettuce with salt and pepper and not have all the other ingredients? What is considered one serving of cabbage soup? a bowl? a cup?

Hi Rosie,
we don't recommend to boil only a head of cabbage with salt and pepper - although it seems to be a quick and cheap option.

Your aim for the diet week should be to eat as much cabbage soup as you can for best weight loss results.
This is almost impossible with that "plain" cabbage soup recipe.

The soup taste is much too blant to stay motivated for a week. To improve the taste you might be tempted to use too much salt which in return retains water in your body.

And of course the colour of your soup doesn't give you a motivating kick to eat more of the soup. Find here some quick cabbage soup recipes.

If these facts don't deter you then give it a try but use low sodium cubes instead of salt. Please post here your experience.

As one serving we consider a bowl of soup.

All the best,
Gabriela
