tuna

Hi can I have tuna in can for day 5 instead of beef. Thanks.Ghaz

Hi Ghaz,
yes you may have tuna fish in can on day five or day six of the cabbage soup diet - to replace the meat. It is however very important that you choose tuna cans WITHOUT oil, it's called "tuna in brine".

Here is a tuna salad recipe tip (1 serving) for DAY SIX! - for lunch or dinner:


- 3 tomatoes
- 2 small onions
- 1/2 lettuce (or any other green salad)
- 1 can tuna in brine
- 2 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon oil
- some salt and pepper

Cut pealed onions in rings and prepare remaining vegetables & salad according to your preferences. Mix vinegar, oil and seasoning.

Arrange lettuce leaves on a plate. Put as secod layer the tomatoe pieces, then the tuna fish pieces.

Cover the salad with the onion rings.
At last you drop the dressing over the salad.
Bon appetit!
This salad tastes delicious especially when the weather is hot.

For day five you should omit lettuce and onions and prepare instead a tomatoe-tuna salad.

All the best,
Gabriela

tuna cheat?

Hello! Great website, I have referenced it almost daily while doing the cabbage soup diet for the second time. My question is, is that tonight for dinner I had about a quarter of a tuna wrap. Until this point I have followed the diet exactly, including about 1 1/2 hour cardio/weight workouts everyday. Will this greatly effect my weight loss? I believe my body was just craving some protein as I did work out extra hard today. Thank you!

Hi,
thanks for the compliments regarding my website.
But i don't think that you screwed it up! There are much more dangerous cheats:-)
Your excellent 1 1/2 hour cardio/weight workouts everyday will save you! Please note that you should add protein to this cabbage soup diet week. Let it be dairy or protein shakes, check the recommended 7 day cabbage soup diet plans on this website! With this protein intake your cravings for other cheats will diminish.
By the way, you may have tuna in water on your "meat days" day 5 and 6 - it is excellent on a mixed salad with tuna and onions!

All the best,
Gabriela

tuna instead of meat

Hi,
Can you eat canned tuna instead of beef or chicken on day five and six?

Dear Carla,
yes you may have "plain tuna" or tuna in cans (in water) instead of beef or chicken on your meat days 5+6 of the csd. Tuna in cans have however a high sodium content that's why you should watch the sodium content of your other food e.g. cabbage soup even more closely to prevent a water retention in your body.

All the best,
Gabriela
