Download this file (10kb)

*SPECIAL NOTE:  For those of you who detest cabbage soup, vegetables, or the idea of eating bowl after bowl of soup, try blending the soup and drinking it from a glass or a sipper.  I find that it goes down MUCH easier that way.  Good luck!

1 OR 2 LARGE CANS OF TOMATOES
4 LARGE GREEN OR 1 LARGE ONION
1 LARGE OR 3 SMALL CANS BEEF BROTH
2 LBS. CARROTS (FROZEN, FRESH, OR CANNED)
1 PKG LIPTON OR KNORR ONION SOUP MIX
2 GREEN PEPPERS
1 BUNCH CELERY (5 STALKS IS FINE)
1 LARGE HEAD OF CABBAGE
2 BAGS OR CANS OF GREEN BEANS
SEASON WITH SALT, PEPPER, CURRY, FRESH PARSLEY IF DESIRED

In an 8 quart pot, cut vegetables in small to medium pieces and cover with water. Boil fast for ten minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry. Eat as much as you want, when 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 will suffer malnutrition.

BEVERAGES INCLUDE: Unsweetened juices, unsweetened teas, coffee, cranberry juice or water, skim milk. Stick with water - this is the best beverage. Definite no no's include carbonated drinks, diet drinks, alcohol, bread and fried foods.
 

EATING PLAN

DAY ONE

All fruits except bananas. Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower in calories than most fruits. Eat only the soup and fruit.

DAY TWO

Eat until you are stuffed with all types of fresh, raw or canned vegetables. Try to eat green leafy Veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. Eat along with soup. At dinner time on this day, reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Don't eat any fruit on this day.

DAY THREE

Eat all soup, veggies and fruit you want. No baked potato. If you have eaten as above for three days and have not cheated, you will find you have lost 4-7 pounds.

DAY FOUR

Bananas, skim milk. Eat as many as 3 bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you can on this day along with the soup (milk shake with bananas tastes good). Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates as is the milk. On this day your body will need the potassium carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your craving for sweets.

DAY FIVE

Beef and tomatoes. You may have 10-20 oz. Of beef. One can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes on this day. Try to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water to wash away uric acid in the body this day. Eat soup at least one time.

DAY SIX

Beef and veggies; eat to your heart's content. You can even have two or three steaks with green leafy vegetables, but NO baked potato. Be sure to eat soup at least once today.

DAY SEVEN

Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and vegetables; stuff yourself as you did on day two. Be sure to have soup at least once.

At the end of the seventh day, if you didn't cheat, you will have lost 10-17 pounds. If you lose more than 15 pounds, stay of the diet for two days before resuming the diet again. Start over with day one.
