The diet claims you can lose 10-17 in a week if followed correctly. The actual diet reminds me of the cabbage soup diet. I love soup so I am thinking of making a batch tomorrow and seeing what happens--I am a big soup lover anyhow and I can use some veggies from my garden.

Let us know how it goes Cyn. It's not an all-soup diet is it?

Basic fat Burning Soup:

INGREDIENTS:


1 lg. head of cabbage 1 or 2 large cans of tomatoes
2 green peppers 1 bunch of celery
(run through blender) Season with salt, pepper, parsley, etc.
1 pkg. Lipton onion soup mix if desired, or 6 bullion cubes
(beef flavored soup may be used)
6 lg. green onions

Directions:

Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces and cover ½ way with water. Boil for 10 min. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. This soup can be eaten any time of the day. This soup will not add calories: the more you eat, the more you lose. If eaten alone for indefinite periods, you will suffer malnutrition. Fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.


DAY 1
All fruits except bananas. Your first day eat all the fruits you want except bananas. Cantaloupes and watermelons are lower in calories than most fruits the first day. Eat only your soup and fruits on the first day. Drink unsweetened tea, cranberry juice or water.
DAY 2
All vegetables. Eat until stuffed with fresh or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. At dinner time reward yourself with a large baked potato, buttered. Eat all the soup you want; don’t eat fruit.
DAY 3
Mix day one and two. Eat all the soup, fruits, and veggies you want. No potato.
DAY 4
Bananas and skimmed milk. Eat as many as 8 bananas and drink as much skimmed milk as you can along with your soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your craving sweets.
DAY 5
Beef and tomatoes. You may have 10-20oz of beef and a can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes. Try to drink at least 5-8 glasses of water to wash away the uric acid. Eat your soup at least once this day.
DAY 6
Beef and veggies. Eat to your heart’s content of beef and vegetables this day. Green leafy vegetables preferred. NO BAKED POTATO. Eat your soup.
DAY 7
Brown rice, unsweetened juices and vegetables. Again, stuff yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once today.

THE END OF THE SEVENTH DAY, IF YOU HAVE NOT CHEATED YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU HAVE LOST 10-17 POUNDS. If you lost more than 15 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming it again from day one. This seven day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a matter of fact, correctly followed, it will clean your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being as never before. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 and possibly 17 pounds and have an abundance of energy. Continue this plan as long as you will and feel the difference. This diet is a fast, fat burning diet and the secret is that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time because the removal of fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 24 hours before any intake of alcohol. Because everyone’s digestive system is different, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy, if you didn’t cheat. After being on the diet several days, you will find your bowel movement has changed. Eat a cup of bran and fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don’t need caffeine after the third day. DEFINITE NO’NO’S: NO BREAD, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, AND NO CARBONATED BEVERAGES, NOT EVEN TAB OR OTHER DIET DRINKS…STICK WITH WATER, UNSWEETENED TEA, BLACK COFFEE, UNSWEETENED FRUIT JUICES, CRANBERRY JUICE AND SKIMMED MILK (on the day allowed), FRIED FOODS. The basic fat burning soup can be eaten at anytime, when you feel hungry. Eat all you wish, as often as you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you lose. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (absolutely no skin on the chicken). If you prefer, substitute broiled fish for the beef on one of the beef days. You need high protein in the beef on the other day. Any prescribed medication will not hurt you on this diet. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference in both mental and physical disposition.

Wow, that's a bit extreme for me, but I'm sure that it can provide satisfaction
for many people here. I'd just feel weird adjusting to the different days.

[Cyn]

I know I couldnt follow it correctly either-but I am going to make the soup anyhow. I love veggie soup. Day 4 would be the end of me because I dont care for bananas! I dont know why--I love most all veggies and fruits but bananas just dont do it for me!
