Disadvantages of the Cabbage Soup Diet for weight loss

 

Many people who have tried the cabbage soup diet report feeling light-headed and weak. Some people who tried the cabbage soup diet also noticed a decrease in their ability to concentrate. The cabbage soup diet is too low in complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals to stay on for an extended period of time.
