“You’re telling me I can eat as much soup as I want and still lose 10 pounds in a week? Sounds too good to be true.”
That’s what I thought, too, before diving into the 7 Day Weight Loss Cabbage Soup Diet, a plan that has been making waves for decades. It promises rapid weight loss, simple ingredients, and a low-calorie approach that practically forces your body to shed pounds. But does it really work? And more importantly, is it sustainable?
I talked to real people who tried it, researched expert opinions, and even gave the diet a go myself. Here’s everything you need to know before ladling yourself a bowl of this so-called “magic soup.”
What Exactly Is the 7 Day Weight Loss Cabbage Soup Diet?
The cabbage soup diet is a strict, low-calorie eating plan that centers around—you guessed it—cabbage soup. But before you roll your eyes and assume it’s just a bland, lifeless broth, let me tell you: the recipes vary, and some are actually pretty flavorful.
The idea is simple but extreme:
✅ Eat cabbage soup as your primary meal for seven days.
✅ Each day allows certain extra foods, like fruits, veggies, lean protein, or brown rice.
✅ No processed food, alcohol, or sugary drinks.
✅ Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Sounds easy, right? Well, let’s see what happens when real people put it to the test.
“I Lost 9 Pounds in 7 Days” – A Real Testimonial
💬 “I was skeptical at first, but after seeing a friend drop 10 pounds in a week, I had to try it. By Day 3, my jeans felt looser. By Day 5, I was actually craving vegetables. By Day 7, I was 9 pounds lighter!” – Sarah, 32
Sarah isn’t alone. Many people claim to lose between 7 to 10 pounds in a week on this diet. But what’s happening behind the scenes?
Here’s the truth: Most of this weight loss comes from water weight and glycogen depletion, not necessarily fat loss. So, while the scale may drop dramatically, a lot of that weight will return once you resume a regular diet.
The Science Behind the Cabbage Soup Diet – Why It Works (and Why It Doesn’t)
The diet works because it’s extremely low in calories—about 1,000 to 1,200 calories per day, according to Healthline. That’s far below the daily requirement for most adults, which forces your body to burn stored energy (glycogen and fat) for fuel.
However, because it lacks protein and healthy fats, it’s not a long-term solution. Your body needs these essential nutrients for muscle maintenance, brain function, and overall health.
Dr. Emily Carter, a registered dietitian, warns:
💬 “Cabbage soup is a great detox, but it’s not a sustainable weight loss solution. You’ll lose weight fast, but it’s mostly water weight. If you don’t transition to a balanced diet afterward, the pounds will creep back.”
So, while it’s effective for a quick slim-down—maybe before a wedding, vacation, or photoshoot—it’s not something you should rely on for long-term health.

Does It Really Burn Fat? Here’s the Verdict
🔥 Fat Burn Myth? The diet doesn’t necessarily “burn fat”—it just creates a huge calorie deficit.

💪 Muscle Loss? If you do this too often, your body may start breaking down muscle for energy.
So, is it effective for quick weight loss? Yes.
Is it sustainable? No.

✅ Good for:

✔️ Dropping a few pounds before an event
✔️ Resetting unhealthy eating habits
🚫 Not recommended for:
❌ Athletes or those needing high energy
❌ People prone to blood sugar crashes

Final Thoughts: Should You Try the 7 Day Weight Loss Cabbage Soup Diet?
If you want to drop up to 10 pounds in a week, the 7 day cabbage soup diet can help you achieve that. It’s a low-cost, easy-to-follow plan that delivers quick results.
But be warned: most of the weight loss is water weight, and without a balanced transition plan, you’ll likely regain it.
💡 Pro Tip: Instead of relying on extreme diets, use cabbage soup as a healthy meal option within a balanced diet. That way, you get the benefits without the crash.

The Shark Tank gummies story scam that's been going around for CBD gummies and keto ACV gummies is something you do not want to get involved in on websites for Amazon or Walmart. Do not order any gummies products on Amazon or Walmart that use the words Shark or Tank in the product name. There are so many fake reviews out there. Those products are not legit in any way. It's all fake. It's not real. These are snake oil scams meant to extract monthly subscription fees from you, all by showing you fake reviews. Do Shark Tank gummies work? No. They aren't real. It's all a scam. The show's cast never invested in anything involving for dementia-reversing gummies, COPD gummies, gummies for blood vessels or vascular cleansing, keto ACV weight loss gummies, pain-reduction gummies, tinnitus gummies, diabetes gummies, hair loss gummies, gummies for ED, smoking addiction gummies or lung cancer gummies. Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary, Daymond John, Lori Greiner, Barbara Corcoran and Robert Herjavec have never, ever endorsed any gummies or provided reviews for them.QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
What Are Shark Tank Gummies?
This is not a real product. The TV show Shark Tank never endorsed any gummies for anything. Scammers are using the credibility of the show to try to fool people into purchasing CBD gummies and keto ACV gummies and are making snake-oil claims about what the products can supposedly do for people.
Do CBD and Keto ACV Gummies Work?
CBD gummies from some legitimate CBD companies apparently have some purposes, such as reducing anxiety. I, personally, haven't tried any gummies. As for keto ACV gummies, those products seem like nothing more than candy. You are not going to lose weight with gummies with no diet or exercise.
Who Is Running These Shark Tank Gummies Scams?
All signs point to there being people who are in the U.S. who are ultimately behind these scams. According to information I received, people in the U.S. work with other people overseas to do the scam marketing and advertising, which makes it look like it's all coming from foreign countries.
Is There a Shark Tank Gummies Episode?
No. No such episode exists. People named Anna and Samantha Martin did not bring gummies in front of the investors on Shark Tank. Rebecca and Katie Khalife also didn't do anything with gummies and Shark Tank, nor did Christopher and Michael Williams. These names are appearing in scammy articles with pictures of people who appeared on Shark Tank with products that had nothing to do with gummies.
But I Saw an Article that Said Shark Tank Gummies Are Real!
That was a scam article that was designed to look professional. The design of famous news publisher was stolen for that scam article that you saw. Had you looked up at your address bar, you would have seen that you were on a website with a strange name.
How Do These Shark Tank Gummies Scams Work?
Scammy ads (and search results) on Google, Facebook, Instagram and next to articles on websites lead people to fake articles that look like official articles from big publishers like USA Today, CBS News, etc. However, these articles were created by scammers who stole the design of those websites and copied that stolen design over to a scam website. The articles act like Shark Tank endorsed CBD or keto ACV gummies. They also sometimes mention other celebrity names. Links in the article lead to a product purchase page for CBD or keto gummies. If purchased, these products come with monthly subscription charges of hundreds of dollars per month. Also, return addresses are sometimes apparently fake. Phone numbers are hard to find for customer service and support. All of this is a huge scam.
