Basic Fat-Burning Soup
* I'm not much on stewed tomatoes, so I used a can of Rotel's Diced Tomatoes with Peppers; it was delicious, and gave it just the right amount of zing! -- Bug)
Season with salt, pepper, curry, parsley (if desired), bouillion and/or hot sauce.
Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces and cover with water. Boil all ingredients rapidly for 10 mins. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender.
This soup can be eaten any time you are hungry. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want; it will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. Fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day. Eating only the soup, however, can result in malnutrition.
This 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a matter of fact, if correctly followed, it will cleanse your system of impurities and give you a healthy feeling of well-being such as you've never known before! (This is true! -- Bug)
After only 7 days, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 (or possibly 17) lbs. -- with an abundance of energy! Continue with this plan for as long as you wish and feel the difference!
The secret of this quick, fat-burning diet 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 alcohol consumption due its removal of fat build-up from your body. Go off the diet for at least 24 hours before any intake of alcohol.
Because everyone's digestive system is different, this diet will affect everyone differently. After Day 3, you will have more energy than when you began (if you haven't cheated). After following the diet for several days, you will find your bowel movements have changed (no shit! oops... bad phrasing -- Bug) -- eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need the caffeine after the third day.
DEFINITE NO-NOs: Bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks (including diet drinks). Stick with water, unsweetened tea, black coffee, unsweetened fruit juices, cranberry juice, and skim milk.
The Basic Fat-Burning Soup can be eaten any time you feel hungry. Eat as much as you wish. Remember, the more you eat, the more you will lose. No fried foods or bread. You can eat broiled or baked chicken instead of meat (absolutely no skin on the chicken).
Prescribed medications are not adversely affected by this diet. Continue the Plan as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days; you need the high protein from the other beef day.
6 large green onions
1 or 2 cans of tomatoes*
1 large head of cabbage
2 bell peppers
1 bunch celery
2 pkgs. Campbell's or Knorr's Dry Vegetable Soup Mix
The Diet Plan
DAY�1
All fruits except bananas. Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower in calories than most fruits. Eat only the soup and fruit. Drink unsweetened tea, cranberry juice, or water. DAY�2
All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh raw or canned vegetables you want. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. Eat vegetables along with the soup. At dinnertime on this day, reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Do not eat any fruit. DAY�3
Eat all the soup, fruits, and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have followed the regimen above for 3 days without cheating, you'll find that you have lost 5-7 lbs.!
DAY�4
Peaches (or pears) and skim milk. Eat up to 3 bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you can, along with the soup. Bananas and milk are high in calories and carbohydrates, but by Day 4 your body needs the potassium, carbs, proteins, and calcium to lessen your craving for sweets. DAY�5
Beef and tomatoes. You may have 10-20 oz. of beef and a can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes today. Try to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water to wash away the uric acid from your body. Eat the soup at least once today. DAY�6
Steak and vegetables. Eat a 2-3 oz. steak (if you like) with green leafy vegetables, but no baked potato. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today. DAY 7
Brown rice / unsweetened fruit juice, and vegetables. Again, stuff yourself! Be sure to have the soup at least once today. By the end of the 7th day, if you haven't cheated, you will have lost 10-17 lbs.! If you've lost more than 15 lbs., stay off the diet for two days before resuming at Day 1.
