"How I lose 10 pounds in 7 days with this cabbage soup diet AKA Military diet!" Watch me make this cabbage soup from start to finish! 2020 update: Yes! I am still using this cabbage soup to give me a jump-start to weight loss. I HATE it! But I LOVE IT! It's helps that the soup is delicious though! I'm going to Disneyland next week and decided that I didn't want to take my muffin top with me, especially since I have this cute form-fitting shirt that I want to wear so bad…. WITHOUT SPANX!! When I need to lose my gut or 10 pounds quickly I turn to three diets that never let me down; my green monster smoothie diet, The 10 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse and my newest love, the 7-day cabbage soup diet!!
