The most requested 7 Day Diet to date would have to be the Cabbage Soup Diet. It was originally created for hospital patients requiring emergency surgery. Some how or another it made its way to the internet, book stores and libraries etc. I suppose it does have popular interest not only because of the weight you are able to lose in a short amount of time but also the cost of the diet is extremely low. If you compare the costs of Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and SureSlim, this 7 Day Diet is definitely gentle on your wallet!

You can lose up to 11 pounds on this 7 Day Diet, not that I deem this to be safe weight loss. So you would need to consult a doctor or physician before starting. It is only recommended that you partake in the program for 1 week at a time with a gap of 2-3 weeks in between. It mainly consists of vegetables, some fruit and heavier food items such as beef and potato towards the end. This 7 Day Diet is extremely hard because the main staple part of the diet is a soup that is made from a base of cabbage.

This diet could be used as a starting point for a more permanent healthy weight loss plan. You may want to consider taking a multi vitamin or supplement full of additional nutrients and minerals. The diet does have some cons because you might suffer sides effects such as fatigue or you may become light headed and irritable, hopefully the vitamins or supplements will help ease the symptoms. You can also get really sick of the cabbage soup itself, so adding spices such as curry powder to taste, tends to add a bit more flavor. Try to stay motivated by knowing that the diet is only for seven days. 

There are a number of other 7 Day Diets such as the liver cleansing technique. Although not all liver cleansing diets are designed for weight loss you can lose a substantial amount of weight whilst purifying your organs from the inside. Sometimes we tend to put our body's through the ringer with the food options we chose. Continued use of alcohol and cigarettes, lack of sleep or vitamins and supplements are all time bombs waiting to happen. A liver cleansing diet can help reverse some the damage.

Remember that this diet isn't the long term answer to your weight loss management. Sensible and realistic goals will see you through to achieving what you want. Setting your expectations too high may leave you feeling like you haven't achieved enough weight loss. In these situations many dieters tend to give up. The 7 Day Diet is a rapid weight loss method and isn't something you should sustain over a longer period of time, other than the 7 Days stated. You will have a much higher chance of success for the future if you chose realistic objectives. And further more you will improve your health.
