The Soup Diet

So today is day one of a 7 day diet I am starting. It's called The Soup Diet. Well, it's actually called something else but I forget. The Heart Diet? I will post it here, and update how it's going throughout the week.

Here is the recipe.

SOUP:

1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
3 plus large green onions
1 large can of beef broth (no fat)
1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (chicken noodle)
1 bunch of celery
2 cans green beans
2 lbs. Carrots
2 Green Peppers

Season with salt, pepper curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, hot or Worcestershire sauce. Cut veggies in small to medium pieces. Cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook until veggies are tender.

This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry during the week. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. You may want to fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.

Here are the directions for the 7 days.

Day One:

Soup and fruits. All the fruits you want except for bananas. Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower in calories than most fruit. Eat only your soup and fruits the first day. Drink unsweetened tea, cranberry juice, or water. Try to drink 8 - 9 oz glasses of water per day.

Day Two:

Soup and vegetables. Eat all the fresh raw or cooked vegetables you want, until you are stuffed. Try to eat leafy vegetables, stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. Have a baked potato and butter. Eat all the soup you want, but no fruit.

Day Three:

Mix day one and two. Eat all the soup, fruit, and vegetables that you want. You can not have a baked potato on this day.
If you have followed the diet, without cheating, you should have lost 6-7 pounds.

Day Four:

Bananas and skim milk. Eat as many as 8 bananas and drink as many glasses of milk as you can on this day, along with your soup. Bananas and milk are high in calories and carbohydrates, but on this particular day, your body will need to potassium, the carbohydrates, the proteins and the calcium to lessen your cravings for sweets.

Day Five:

Beef and tomatoes. You may have 10-12 oz of beef and a can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes on this day to wash out all of the uric acid in your body. Eat your soup at least once on this day.

Day six:

Beef and vegetables. Eat to your heart's content all of the beef and vegetables on this day, you can even have 2 - 3 steaks if you like, with green leafy vegetables.

No Baked Potato ...

Day seven:

Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables. Stuff yourself. By the end of the seventh day, if you have not cheated on the above diet, you will find you have lost 10 - 17 pounds.




Definite No No's

No bread, alcohol, carbonated beverages, not even diet drinks. Stick with water, unsweetened fruit juices, cranberry juice, (and skim milk on the allowed).

After being on this diet for a period of seven days, enough fat will be out of your system that one beer or drink can make you intoxicated.

Any prescription medicine will not hurt you on this diet. Continue this as long as you wish and feel the difference in both mental and physical disposition. If you prefer you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef on the other day.

Good Luck !
