The Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe

View:

You're selling the wrong thing.

When you sell what people want, to people who both can afford it and are willing to pay for it, then it really is easy. The problem is that many of us online marketers try to sell what we think people should want, what they need, or something that we're clever enough to create by didn't confirm that the world wanted BEFORE we created it.

Instead, just look around you and see what people want and are buying in DROVES. Just watch people, and problems that they will happily pay to solve become glaringly obvious.

I, for example, am a "baby-boomer." Among other things, that means that I'm at a point in life where my metabolism has slowed down, and I have a tendency to gain weight.

My tendency to gain weight easily and then struggle to take it off is compounded by another problem... I'm lazy.

So if you were going to market something to me, it should probably be a diet and/or exercise program that allows me to quickly shed pounds. It also has to be so easy that it's "effortless."

Remember, I'm also lazy.

I'm also use to instant gratification. I watch television shows where all problems are solved within a 30-minute window. I live in an age where we "pop pills" for everything.

The ideal product for you to sell me, actually help me to solve my problem, and make you rich in the process, would be a diet (that I'd hopefully combine with exercise).

So being the good information marketer that you are, you decide that you'll sell me a proven diet. You search the diet literature and discover the time-tested cabbage soup diet. The cabbage soup diet is... a diet where you consume a lot of "cabbage soup." Actually it's a diet, where you consume any of a number of soup recipes that you can easily locate just by searching the Internet.

You've almost discovered the magic bullet. The only thing missing is that I have to go through all that trouble of preparing and eating all that cabbage soup!

Couldn't you just package it into a convenient pill so that all I have to do is take one several times a day, and as I go about my day-to-day living, the pounds magically fall off. That would make you even richer since it's a consumable. When my supply ran out, or I wanted to trim off a few more pounds, I'd order another bottle.

Believe it or not, they have figured out how to package all of the magical, herbally-induced effects of the cabbage soup diet into a pill. You can now order a bottle of these pills, take them as directed, and "life is good!" I think that you'd still want to add in a brisk walk every now and then... just for muscle tone.

Being the "workaholic baby boomer" that I am, I do that by walking while I work. I'm an "info marketer," so I study my craft while I walk. I take my diet soup cabbage pills, put on my trusty portable MP3 player loaded with insider interviews from The Internet Marketing Inner circle, and life is GOOD!

This stuff "rocks" and it sells well because it works. Selling products that the world actually wants can be that easy. Maybe you could come up with something as clever. While you're thinking about it, you can grab a bottle of cabbage soup diet pills at: http://TheCabbageSoupDietPills.com

And you thought that I was kidding when you saw the title - didn't you :-)

The Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe

There is some question as to whether the Cabbage Soup Diet is a diet at all. Many people have followed it. Many have also lost weight with it. But it has been determined that this diet may result in nothing more than water loss. The diet is intended to last seven days. In that week, you eat nothing but low-calorie cabbage soup and supplemental foods that change daily. Because there are no long-term commitments involved with this diet, it is often called a fad diet.

Eating cabbage soup for an entire week may not attract too many followers. Apparently, though, it works. This would explain the widespread interest in the diet. However, this weight loss is only temporary. Which is why the diet has now gone by the wayside. So, what exactly is this diet?

With the cabbage soup diet, your drink choices are limited. No soda is allowed. Unsweetened tea is permitted on the first day. Black coffee is permitted to an extent. The positive is that you can eat as much as you want. Unfortunately, you have to eat at least two bowls of cabbage soup per day. Fruit, skim milk, meat and vegetables are allowed. Some of the other foods encouraged include tomatoes, brown rice, onions and potatoes. This is quite the opposite of the Atkins diet, which prohibits eating starchy foods.

What makes the Cabbage soup diet so controversial is not just that you eat one food at the expense of others. It is what happens after you lose the weight. It is not a diet you can follow for more than a week. The plan itself discourages it. This is because the diet is just a week of fasting. Calories brought in are so low as to be useless. It is not the cabbage that controls the weight loss. It is simply the lack of food. This means you can go on a pickle diet just as easily. Or a celery diet. Or any other food that has little to no calories. And after you go off of it, you gain the weight right back.

One of the bad things about the cabbage soup diet is that it is more like an assembly line program than anything else. It is not individualized. Everyone follows the same program. Also, the plan doesn't encourage exercise. It doesn't give you any tips to success. It doesn't even provide advice on discarding old habits. It is simply a list of foods that you must eat. It could be likened to the supposed "American Heart Association diet" that claims people can lose ten pounds in a week if they eat grapefruit, hot dogs and cantaloupe. The American Heart Association has alerted consumers that this diet is not affiliated with them. Yet, people still follow it. They follow it because they will follow just about anything that promises quick weight loss with little work. Following a healthy, varied diet is still much more effective in losing weight. A good exercise program helps too. A good attitude helps the most, and this is something not offered with any diet.
