Weight loss has always been a challenging journey for many, and recently, medications such as Ozempic have gained widespread popularity for their ability to aid in weight loss. Even certain celebrities like Oprah have praised the medication for its assistance in reaching their weight goal and achieving a healthy lifestyle.
Ozempic was originally made to manage type 2 diabetes. It has shown impressive results when it comes to reducing appetite and promoting further weight loss. However, all medications can have side effects. While ozempic can certainly help with fat loss, there are also natural foods that offer similar results. These foods naturally aid in regulating appetite and improving metabolism while offering a more holistic alternative to pharmaceutical options.

Cabbage Soup Detox Recipe
Base for soup: 4 Roma tomatoes, 1 red pepper, 1 onion, 3-4 garlic cloves, add 1/2-1 cup of water, and blend. Set aside.
Soup content: 2-3 tbsp olive oil, 4-6 carrots, 4 zucchinis, 1 small head of cabbage, 6 cups of water.
Toppings for soup to garnish: 1 bunch cilantro, 2 jalapeños, 2 limes.
Seasoning to taste: 2 packets of Goya Sazón, 2 tbsp salt, 1–2 tbsp pepper, 1-2 tbsp garlic powder, 1-2 tbsp onion powder. Season to taste.
She begins by washing and peeling the skin off of her zucchini and carrots. Next, she roughly chops 4 Roma tomatoes, 1 red bell pepper, and 1 white onion, blending these ingredients with some water. Afterward, she chops a small head of cabbage, the 4 zucchinis, 4 carrots, and 2 jalapeños.
In a large pot, she heats up some olive oil and adds the cabbage, minced garlic (3-4 cloves), carrots, and zucchini. She stirs the mixture and seasons it with garlic and onion powder. Then, she pours in the tomato purée, mixing well.
After adding water and a packet of Goya Sazón seasoning, she lets the soup cook thoroughly. To serve, she ladles some into a bowl and garnishes with cilantro, jalapeño slices, and some lime juice. That’s it!
Weight Loss Benefits
This recipe is helpful for fat loss because it is a low-calorie, high-nutrient dish. Vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, and cabbage are low in calories but loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
These vegetables are also high in fiber, which aids in digestion and supports a healthy gut.
She says she has "done this three times for special occasions. Right now I want to detox my body because I had surgery, and I just want to flush all the water weight out. This has been around for 50 years, and it's never failed."
She adds, "If you follow this, drink water, and eat this 3 times day, you will lose 10 pounds in 5 days."
However, she warns not to do "this diet more than 5 days, or you will lose muscle mass."
One user commented, "My mom and I call this detox soup!!! It cleans you out."
"I have seen the cabbage soup diet for years and years but never has it been as appealing as this version."
"My grandma, who was born in the 40s, taught me about this!"
"Just made this soup, and I love ittt!"
