SOUP:

1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (stewed)

3 large green onions

1 large can of beef broth (no fat)

1 pkg. of Lipton Soup Mix (chicken noodle or onion)

1 bunch of celery

2 cans of green beans

2 green peppers

2 lbs. of carrots

Season with salt, pepper, curry, parsley, if desired hot sauce or Worchester. Cut veggies into small to medium pieces. Cover with water and boil on high for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until done.

This soup can be eaten anytime you’re hungry during the week. Eat as much as you want. The more you eat, the more you will lose. Fill a thermos if you will be away during the day.

For drinks: Unsweetened juices, tea, herbal tea, coffee, cranberry juice, skim milk, or water, water, water…

Day one: Any fruit, except bananas, cantaloupe or watermelon. They have more calories than most other fruit. Eat only soup and fruit today.

Day two: Veggies. Eat veggies until you are stuffed. Fresh, raw, canned are best. Try to eat leafy greens, salads. Stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. Eat soup and veggies. At dinner, reward yourself with a baked potato and butter. Don’t eat any fruit today.

Day three: Eat all the soup, fruit and veggies you want. Don’t have a baked potato. If you have eaten as above for three days and not cheated, you should find that you have lost 5 to 7 lbs.

Day four: Bananas and skim milk. Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates, as is milk. On this particular day, your body will need the potassium and carbs. Protein and calcium will lesson the cravings for sweets.

Day five: Chicken, beef or tomatoes. You may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef or chicken and a can of tomatoes. Or as many as 6 tomatoes today.

Eat the soup at least once today.

Day six; Chicken or beef and veggies: eat to your heart’s content of the beef or chicken and veggies today. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks today if you like with green leafy veggies but no potato. Eat the soup at least once today.

Day seven: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies: be sure to ear soup at least once. You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish.

By the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on this diet, you should have lost 10 to 17 lbs. Stay off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again. (Day one)

This 7 day eating plan can be used as often as you like. It correctly followed, it will clean out your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking alcoholic beverages at any time because of the fat build up in your system. Go off the diet for 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 than when you began, if you don’t cheat. After being on the diet for several days you will find that your bowel movements have changed. Eat a cup of bran or fibre. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don’t need the caffeine after the 3rd day.

The basic fat-burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry during the 7 days. Eat as much as you wish. Remember the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled, boiled or baked chicken instead of beef. Absolutely no skin on the chicken. 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 for the other days.

Do not eat bread, alcohol, pop!

NO DIET POP OR DRINKS! NO FRIED FOODS!

DO! DO! DO! Drink plenty of water, at least 6 to 8 glasses a day, as well as any
