Dieting website cabbage soup diet has released an updated version of the popular weight loss plan for 2012.

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/28/2012 -- Diet and weight loss website Cabbage Soup Diet introduced a new version of the popular 7-day weight loss plan on its website this week. The site's team hopes that the new version of the cabbage soup diet will be healthier, easier and more effective than past incarnations.

According to site head Jason Feldman, MS, RD, a Registered Dietitian, explains why a revamped version of the diet was needed: "Our website received several questions a day about the cabbage soup diet. Although we always try to provide comprehensive content, there are some aspects of the diet that seem to be a sticking point for many. Since our launch in 2009, our three most common questions are related to minimizing hunger, increasing efficacy and minimizing health risk. The new cabbage soup diet that we created aims to alleviate these concerns from dieter's minds by making the diet more pleasant to follow, more effective and healthier than the original version."

What particular changes were made to the diet to address these common concerns? Feldman notes that the addition of more dietary protein was one crucial change to the cabbage soup diet has it helped make the diet easier to stick to and resulted in increased weight loss. Feldman states that, " The original cabbage soup diet was very low in dietary protein. According to our calculations the diet only provided approximately .6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight –significantly less than the recommended minimum of .8 gmsra per kilogram. Low protein diets have a laundry list of potential drawbacks, including weakness, muscle loss and increased appetite. That's why the new version of the cabbage soup diet plan aims to provide people with at least 1 gram of protein for every kilogram of body weight. This amount of daily protein was based on a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association which found that higher than normal protein intake facilitated appetite reduction and weight loss."

How are modern-day cabbage soup dieters expected to add more protein to their cabbage soup? Feldman states that the new cabbage soup diet recipe includes more protein from heart-healthy sources such as lean cuts of chicken breast, low-fat beef and legumes. Vegetarians also have the option to include tofu as a healthy source of complete protein, the site adds.

Weight loss blog unveils its new version of the cabbage soup diet.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/02/2011 -- Weight loss website Cabbage Soup Diet Results has released a new version of the popular weight loss plan for 2012. The new diet is designed to take advantage of recent scientific progress in the realm of nutrition. While still maintaining its core features, the new cabbage soup diet aims to make the diet more effective and pleasant than previous versions.

Site head and dietitian Jason Feldman discusses why he decided to work on a new incarnation of the cabbage soup diet: "Most of our visitors are fans of the old cabbage soup diet in general. However, we often receive requests from folks wishing that the program was slightly more effective. After all, these people are putting their life on hold for 7-days while they follow the diet, it's only fair that they get the most amount of weight loss possible over that time span. The new cabbage soup diet is supercharged for 2012 and should help dieters lose significantly more weight than before."

Feldman adds that the major changes to the cabbage soup diet to boost weight loss include adding more dietary protein and organic vegetables.

Feldman states that research coming out of top research universities, including Tufts and Harvard report that protein can help keep appetite at bay while boosting metabolism as the same time. According to Feldman, "Past cabbage soup diets were very low in protein. Depending on the version one used, they may only eat approximately 25 grams of protein per day -- far less than what's recommended for health. Also, protein has been shown in several clinical research studies to curb appetite --an important consideration for cabbage soup diet followers. One of the chief complains we receive about the cabbage soup diet is that folks are often hungry while on the diet, particularly in the final day or two. We think that adding healthy protein sources such as lean chicken breast, black beans, tofu and egg whites is the one-two combo that the cabbage soup diet has been missing."

Feldman adds that organic vegetables were added to increase the nutritional punch of the soup. He notes that organic vegetables typically contain more micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, than non-organic varieties.

The site's founder is quick to warn that -- like the old cabbage soup diet -- his version has not been rigorously tested in scientific studies. Also, he notes that would-be cabbage soup dieters should check in with their physician before embarking on this or any other weight loss diet plan.
