Fat Burning Soup Diet

Have you ever heard of the Fat Burning Soup Diet?  Most people have.

• Does it work? Yes.
• Is it suitable for everyone? No. Check with your doctor.
• Can you stay on it for a long time? No.
• How much can you lose? Weight loss up to 10 pounds in a week has been known.

So what's the point? Well, it's simple. If you need to lose a little bit of weight quickly this is a good diet to do just that, because it works. It is not something that you could do for a long time, but for many people, just before a summer holiday for example, or in time for a special event, like a birthday party or a reunion, losing a reasonable amount of weight very quickly may be all they require.

So where, exactly, can you find the recipe that will do this wonderful thing? You can try hunting on the Internet, but you could spend quite some time trying to track the recipe down.

Well, look no farther, because I explain the program here.  The plan includes seven days of eating soup and other prescribed foods.  Because the fat burning soup diet is very low in calories, you will be able to lose up to 10 pounds in just 7 days.

First of all, you need to make a very large pot of the soup.  This recipe makes about 12 servings.  You will probably need make 2 to 3 pots during the seven days of the diet:

Ingredients:
· 6 large green onions
· 2 green peppers
· 1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole)
· 3 Carrots
· 1 Container (10 oz. or so) Mushrooms
· 1 bunch of celery
· half a head of cabbage
· 1 package Lipton or similar soup mix
· 1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional)
· 1 48oz can V8 juice (optional)
· If V8 juice is not used, put in 12 cups of water

How to cook it:

This is about as simple as it gets. Saute the onions and take the seeds out of the green peppers.  Then boil everything thing for up to 2 hours, depending on how crunchy you like your veg.  Refrigerate the soup and then reheat on the stove or in the microwave every time you get hungry.  This recipe is at the heart of the fat burning soup diet.

You will get to eat other foods on the fat burning soup diet. Each day has a slightly different set of rules. Here’s the plan for what you can eat as well as the soup:

Day 1: All the fruit you want except bananas.

Day 2: All the vegetables you want plus one big baked potato with butter.

Day 3: All the fruit and vegetables you want except bananas and potatoes.

Day 4: Bananas and skim milk plus the soup only.

Day 5: 16 oz. of beef and up to 6 tomatoes.

Day 6: 2 to 3 steaks and all the vegetables you want.  No baked potato though.

Day 7: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables

Eat the foods on the diet until you are full.  The diet is bland, but there is no reason why you should be hungry on it.

The fat burning soup diet works because even if you eat your fill, you still will only intake about 1000 calories a day.  So the plan is essentially a modified fast.

Because the plan is only 7 days long, that doesn’t give your body’s metabolism enough time to slow down.  So, in order to make up for the reduced calories, your body will start burning the fat – hence the name, fat burning soup diet.

You shouldn’t stay on the fat burning soup diet for more than 7 days at a time though.  That would actually defeat the purpose.  After your initial week is up, go back to eating normally. This is not a diet designed to be followed for an extended period. At no time should you go more than 7 days on the program.

And that’s the fat burning soup diet made simple.

P.S. For your own benefit you should take your doctor's advice before embarking on a diet like this. Since you're modifying your normal diet so drastically you should get advice to make sure it will be safe for you.
