The cabbage soup is only part of the diet plan. For each of the seven days of the diet you eat specific foods. During the week you will eat fruits, vegetables, meat, rice, and other foods. No pastries and sweets, but a good variety of foods are allowed during the week. But you can eat all the soup want. And you can vary the recipes to suit your tastes.
