Weight loss with the Protein Addition

Thank you so much for this amazing site, it truly motivates me to go through with the diet for the entire week!

My questions is regarding the protein addition, I'm on my 4th day on the basic cabbage soup, without the added protein. I would like to re-do the diet in about two weeks and try it with the protein shakes. Would I lose the same amount of weight or does the protein addition slow down the weight loss.

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi,
one thing is clear - with the added protein you will shed pounds in your fat zones and protect your important muscle mass.

The cabbage soup diet with added protein is in my opinion the healthier choice and will also lead to similar impressive weight loss results.

Our recommendation however is to wait at least 6-8 weeks before repeating it. And the more often you repeat it the less impressive weight loss results you will see.

The better choice instead of repeating it several times is to use cabbage soup as a starter before your meals and switch to a e.g. low fat nutrition.
This helps to shed pounds in the long run too.

All the best,
Gabriela
