Swanson 100% chicken broth

I am on day four of the cabbage soup diet and have been meaning to ask a couple of questions.

Instead of using the Lipton soup mix, I used Swanson 100% chicken broth (low sodium/NO MSG/100% fat free) because I heard of reported headaches due to all the MSG and sodium from the bullion, V8, and Lipton soup mix. Is it okay that I substituted this? I still used low sodium V8 and the regular bullion.

Also, is there a certain number of times minimum that I should have the cabbage soup? I have made sure to eat it at least once and as many as three times a day but I just want to be sure that I am doing everything right since I am almost done with the diet.

Thanks

Dear Nicole,
it is a good idea to choose low sodium fat free chicken soup instead of the Lipton mix.

Regarding soup - a rule of the thumb is to eat 1/2 pot of soup per day. That would make 3-4 portions of cabbage soup.

I wish you a successful remaining week.

All the best,
Gabriela
