Basic Fat-Burning Soup
Ingredients:
6 large green onions or large red onion
1-2 cans of tomatoes
1 large head of cabbage
2 green peppers
1 bunch celery
rosemary & tarragon for flavoring
shitake mushrooms for flavoring
1 hot pepper
2 or 3 cloves of chopped garlic
1 4 inch piece of kombu seaweed
vegetable bouillon (such as Bioforce's Plantaforce)
Spices such as rosemary, sage, thyme, tarragon or oregano can be added
as desired toward the ending of cooking.
Season with salt, pepper, parsley, bouillon or hot sauce, if desired.
However, with the bouillon added, it probably requires little or no
salt.
Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces, sauté in olive oil & cover
with water. Boil fast for 10 (ten) minutes. Cut to simmer & 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.
This soup 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.
If eaten alone for indefinite periods, you would suffer from
malnutrition.
DAY ONE: All fruits except bananas. Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower
in calories than most fruits. Eat only the soup and fruits. For drinks -
un-sweetened tea, cranberry juice, or water.
DAY TWO: All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh,
raw or canned vegetables. Try to eat leafy vegetables and stay away from
dry beans, peas and corn. Eat along with the soup. At dinner time on
this day, reward yourself with a big baked potato an butter. Do not eat
any fruits.
DAY THREE: Eat all soup, fruits and vegetables you want. Do not have a
baked potato. If you have eaten for three days, as above, and have not
cheated, you will find you have lost 5-7 pounds.
DAY FOUR: Bananas and skim milk. Eat as many as 3 bananas and drink as
many glasses of water as you can on this day along with the soup.
Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates and so is the milk, but
on this particular day your body will need the potassium and the
carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your craving for sweets.
DAY FIVE: Beef or lamb and tomatoes.
Try to select high quality range fed animal protein free of antibiotics
or hormones.
You may have 10-20 ounces of beef or lamb and a can of tomatoes or as
many as 6 fresh tomatoes on this day. Try to drink at least 6-8 glasses
of water this day to wash away the uric acid in your body. Eat the soup
at least once this day. You can substitute either wheat gluten (seitan)
for the beef or lamb or aduki beans, chicken or fish.
DAY SIX: Beef or lamb & vegetables. Eat to your heart's content of the
beef or lamb and vegetables this day. You can have two or three steaks
if you like, with green leafy vegetables, but no baked potato. Be sure
and eat the soup at least once today. You can substitute either wheat
gluten (seitan) for the beef or lamb or aduki beans, chicken or fish.
DAY SEVEN: Brown rice, un-sweetened fruit and vegetables. Again, stuff
yourself. Be sure to have the soup at least once today.
By the end of the seventh day, if you have not cheated on the diet, you
will have lost 10-17 pounds. If you have lost more than 15 pounds, stay
off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again for day one.
This seven-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a matter
of fact, if correctly followed, it will clean your system of impurities
and give you a feeling of well-being as never before.
After only seven days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by
at least 10 lbs., and possibly 17. Having an abundance of energy
continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference.
This diet is fast, fat burning and the secret is that you will burn no
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 alcoholic beverages at any time because of the removal for fat
buildup in your system. Go off the diet at least 24 hours before 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 did not cheat. After being on the diet for
several days, you will find your bowel movements have changed -- eat a
cup o 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-NO'S - BREAD, ALCOHOL, CARBONATED DRINKS INCLUDING DIET
DRINKS.
STICK WITH WATER, UN-SWEETENED TEA, BLACK COFFEE, UN-SWEETENED FRUIT
JUICES, CRANBERRY JUICE AND SKIMMED MILK.
The basic fat-burning soup can be eaten anytime 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 chicken (absolutely no skin)
instead of beef. Vegetarians can use aduki or mung beans, seitan.
Any prescribed medication will not hurt you on this diet. Continue this
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 high protein in the beef the
other days.
One of the best herbal formulas to use during this fast is Triphala.
Take from 2 to tablets morning and midday and 4 in the evening. Instead
of coffee or tea use a grain beverage. A very good fasting tea is a
combination of nettles, chickweed and fennel seed which also helps in
weight reduction. There are many excellent green drinks and soya protein
powders that can be used to supplement as needed and replace meat.
To keep the weight off, replace one meal a day with soup, eat more
vegetables.
This diet is derived from one given at the Sacred Heart Memorial
Hospital for overweight heart patients to lose weight rapidly, usually
before surgery.
