The Cabbage Soup Diet is considered as a fad diet that is centered on the consumption of cabbage soup over the 7 day period of the diet, and is also known as the "Sacred Heart Hospital Diet" or the "Mayo Clinic Diet". However, this is a diet that is mainly suitable for those who are keen on losing weight fast, and not for long term weight loss. It is also highly speculated that most of the weight lost is water loss. In other words, the weight that is lost is easily put back on once you get off the cabbage soup diet.
