Diet Fat-Burning Cabbage Soup, this is a way to discover more the soup that can
change your life.

the soup as you want, whenever you feel hungry.

plan to travel or be somewhere else during the day, fill a thermos with your
fat-burning soup and consume it as required in the diet plan explained below.
“This diet is derived from one given
at the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital for overweight heart patients to lose
weight rapidly, usually before surgery, and by Ed Kasper L.Ac, Acupuncturist
and Herbalist.” (Food, by Rita, 7 Day Diet Fat Burning
Cabbage Soup)
However, if eaten alone for
indefinite periods, it may lead to malnutrition. During the course of this
diet, you should drink plenty of fresh water, that is, ½ of your body weight in
ounces of water. Optionally, you can also add kombucha to your diet for
beneficial yeasts and bacteria for your digestive system.

7 Day Diet Plan:
Day 1: Eat soup and fruits only. You can also consume pure water, unsweetened
tea, kombucha, or cranberry juice. All fruits can be consumed, but avoid
bananas. You can eat more watermelon and cantaloupe a lot, since they are low
in calories.
Day 2: Eat soup and vegetables only, and eat the vegetables along with the soup. Avoid
dry beans, peas and corn and eat green, leafy vegetables. For dinner, you can
reward yourself with a big buttered potato. No fruits are allowed.
Day 3: Eat all the soup, vegetables, and fruits you want, but
you can have no baked potato for dinner. If you’ve followed the diet for three
days, you can expect to have lost 5-7 lbs.
Day 4: The fourth day is banana and skim milk day! Both bananas
and milk are high in calories and carbohydrates, but on this particular day
your body will be in need of potassium, carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to
lessen cravings for sweets. Eat as many as 3 bananas and drink as many glasses
of water as you can along with the soup.
Day 5: up to 6 organic tomatoes, 10-20 ounces of beef, lamb,
wheat gluten (seitan), aduki beans, chicken (no skin), or fish. Take note to
consume a high-quality range fed animal protein free of antibiotics or
hormones. Try to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water in order to flush the uric
acid out of your body. Eat the soup at least once during this day.
Day 6: You can eat as much as you want of beef, lamb, wheat
gluten (seitan), aduki beans, chicken (no skin), or fish in combination with
vegetables on day six. In addition, you can also have 2 or 3 steaks with green
leafy vegetables. No baked potatoes today. Once again, be sure to eat the soup
at least once during this day.
Day 7: Unsweetened fruit, vegetables and brown rice. There is
no limit of the consumption of fruits and vegetables, but eat the soup at least
once today.
Provided that you have followed all
rules of the diet program, by the end of the 7th day you will
have lost 10-17 pounds.
In case you have lost more than 15
pounds, make a 2- day pause and then resume the diet again from day 1. Always
consider the fact that everyone’s digestive system is different and, therefore,
this diet will affect everyone differently and can give different results.
If you follow it correctly, the Cabbage Soup diet will perfectly cleanse
your organism of impurities. Furthermore, it will make you will feel lighter,
more energetic, and healthier than ever before. What is great about it is that
it can be used as often as you like. Continue this diet plan as long as you
feel the difference both mentally and physically.
