PREVENT HAIR LOSS DUE TO FAD DIETS

Cabbage soup diet, have you tried it? This diet are for people who want to lose weight really fast. This diet is designed to make you lose eight to ten pounds in just 7 days. Because of this, the cabbage soup diet is very popular with celebrities, although in a hush-hush manner. In fact, it was recently rumoured that former US President Bill Clinton has gone on this radical diet days before her daughter Chelsea’s wedding day. Chelsea reportedly said “Dad the only thing you gotta do is walk me down the aisle and you gotta look good”. So Bill lost around 15 pounds in preparation for this. Well, whether Mr. Clinton went through the diet or not, he surely lost weight and there is now a renewed interest in the cabbage soup diet because of this.

What is this cabbage soup diet and where did it came from? The exact origin of the cabbage soup diet is unknown but it may be one of the oldest fad diets to date. It may have started in the 50s or even earlier. During the world war, soldiers fighting in the war had very little access to vegetables. So, to protect against scurvy, eating cabbage (which was more widely available) provided vitamin C, hence the name “Military Cabbage Soup”. During the eighties, it was called the Model’s Diet since it was a way for the supermodels to lose weight rapidly.

The main component of this diet is – you guessed right – cabbage. Below are the basic ingredients:

Preparing the soup is really simple, after cutting the vegetables in small pieces these are basically cooked in ten to twelve cups of water and simmered for about 15 minutes, adding your desired seasonings to taste. You can now eat ALL the soup you want and WHENEVER you want for the next SEVEN days.

Really simple, right? This will surely make you lose weight since the diet is extremely low in calories. However, it has been criticised as it is mostly water loss and not fat loss. It is also high in sodium and has extremely low protein content. This diet has been used only when there is a dire need to lose weight and is definitely not recommended for long-term use.

As with any crash diet, one of the obvious side effects is hair loss. A number of dieters have experienced hair loss during and after going through the diet. Unfortunately, the combination of rapid weight loss and low protein intake can force the hair into the resting phase. This is the way for the body to conserve protein. The bad news is that massive hair shedding can occur even up to three months later. Extreme dieting, just like any serious illness or severe stress can make you temporarily lose more hair than normal.

If you are really want to go on with the cabbage soup diet in preparation for a big event, then don’t neglect your crowning glory. You might be slim and fit but you’re going to be left with lifeless thin hair.
