This soup can be eaten anytime 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.

Diet plan

Day 1:
Eat all fruits (except bananas unless otherwise stated). Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower in calories. Eat only the soup and fruits. For drinks have unsweetened  tea, cranberry juice or water.

Day 2:  All vegetables today. Eat until you are stuffed with all fresh, raw, or canned vegetables. Try to eat green leafy veggies 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 and butter. NO fruits this day.

Day 3: Eat all soup, fruit and veggies you want. DO NOT have potato. If you have eaten, as above, and have not cheated, you will have lost 5-7 pounds.  Don't give up go on to day 4.

Day 4: 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 soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates and so is the milk, but this particular day your body will need potassium and the carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your cravings for sweets.

Day 5:  Beef and tomatoes. You can have 10-20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes today. Try to drink 6-8 glasses of water to wash away uric acid in your body. Eat the soup at least once this day.

Day 6: Beef and veggies. Eat to your hearts content of beef and veggies today. You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like with green leafy veggies, NO potato. Be sure and eat the soup at least once today.

Day 7: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice, and veggies.  stuff yourself!  Be sure you eat the soup at least once today!

by the end of first week, if you have not cheated, you will have lost 10-17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds stay off the diet for 2 days before resuming.

This 7 day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a matter of fact, if followed correctly it will clean you system of impurities and make you feel better over all.

Definite NO NO's:  Bread, alcohol,  fried foods, and carbonated drinks.

Definite DO's: water and lots of it.  Eat the soup anytime you feel hungry.
