The cabbage soup detox

Cabbage soup does not sound like a delicious meal to many of us (hint: it i, with the right spices), but how about using it as a detox for your body? Sounds ridiculous, right?

There is a 'cabbage detox diet,' and it takes seven days to purge the nastiness from your innards if you follow it correctly. It sounds unhealthy to eat cabbage in several forms for an entire week (only cabbage), but having done this one in the past, I can say that it works. You can guess on how the results show up, okay?

But, it has downsides as well, ones that you need to be aware of if you decide to pursue it sometime near. First off -- the blandness of the cabbage itself (this is where spices come in). More? How's this:
  • Be prepared for gas.
  • Requires will power.
  • Lacks good nutrition
  • High in salt (unless you sub in non-salt spices).
  • Not a long-term answer -- after all, it's a detox, not a diet change.
