7 Day Diet Fat Burning Cabbage Soup image

Original Diet Cabbage Soup is posted here Recipe #281160 but I wanted it organic with no added soup mix or canned 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. and by Ed Kasper L.Ac, Acupuncturist and Herbalist. Which I tweaked to my likings. yes you can tweak to your likings as well. Vegetarians can use aduki or mung beans, seitan where called for. This is a short-term fix mostly water weight. A good seasonal cleanse or a way to start jump a diet.

  • DIET PLAN:.
  • Eat soup 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.
  • Be sure to follow daily to nourish your body as needed.
  • Drink plenty of fresh pure water all day. Drink 1/2 of your body weight in ounces of water. If you weigh 100 pounds then drink 50 ounces of water. Also add optional kombucha to your diet for beneficial yeasts and bacteria for your digestive system.
  • DAY ONE: All fruits except bananas. Eat only the soup and fruits. Drink kombucha, unsweetened tea, cranberry juice, or water.
  • DAY TWO: All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh, raw vegetables. Try to eat leafy vegetables and avoid 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.Real butter not the fake stuff. Do not eat any fruits.
  • DAY THREE: Eat all soup, fruits and vegetables you want. No baked potato.
  • 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 today your body will need the potassium and the carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your craving for sweets.
  • DAY FIVE: 10-20 ounces Beef, lamb, wheat gluten (seitan), aduki beans, chicken (absolutely no skin) or fish and up to 6 organic tomatoes. Try to select high quality range fed animal protein free of antibiotics or hormones. 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.
  • DAY SIX: Beef, lamb, wheat gluten (seitan), aduki beans, chicken(absolutely no skin) or fish & 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.
  • DAY SEVEN: Brown rice, unsweetened 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 should 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.
  • Because everyone 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, pastas or bread.
  • 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.
  • Avoid all those no-no's. Avoid diet soda's and diet chemicals. Use real butter not the hypo- hydrated fakes . Do not use foods with high fructose sugars do not use aspartame or artificial sweeteners, Use natural whole foods, like stevia, agave, honey.
  • Eat good wholesome foods that are well prepared and that appeal to you.
  • Make your own healthy fermented foods.

7 DAY SOUP DIET (MY VERSION)



7 Day Soup Diet (My Version) image

This is my version of the famous (and effective) 7-Day Soup Diet. The secret of this soup is low(er) carb veggies-like kale, watercress, turnips, pumpkin/squash, carrots, chayote, chards, chicory, okra, rutabaga (very low carb), brussels sprouts, chiles-use your imagination! Day 2: the potato seemed like a blessing from God. Day 4: mashed bananas with milk + honey/splenda. Day 5: the combination of steaks and tomatoes was divine. To salads or fresh veggies I added a little bit of extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. (Servings reflect only the days you eat the soup.)

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 15m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch slices
3 medium celery ribs, sliced
3 large onions, chopped or 3 medium leeks, cut into 1-inch slices
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes with juice (cut as small as you want or blended)
1/2 medium cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces
12 ounces green beans, cut into thrids
3 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch slices
2 (5 ounce) packages Baby Spinach
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 chicken bouillon cubes
12 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Coat pan with nonstick spray. Over medium high heat add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Cook stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling. Reduce to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.
  • Day 1. Soup + fruit: all you want-EXCEPT banana. (Juice)
  • Day 2. Soup + fresh vegetables (salads, etc): all you want. One large baked potato + butter for dinner. NO fruit.
  • Day 3. Soup + fruit + veggies: all you want. NO potatoes.
  • Day 4. Soup + bananas (at least 3) + skim milk: all you want.
  • Day 5. Soup + beef (up to 20 oz) + 6 tomatoes.
  • Day 6. Soup + beef (2, 3 steaks) + green leafy veggies: all you want. NO potatoes. (Veal, beef, chicken).
  • Day 7. Soup + brown rice + unsweetened fruit juice + veggies: all you want.
  • - I found this French version in the Net: 1 cabbage (green, purple, frisé, Chinese), 4 garlic cloves, 6 large onions, 2 boxes of tomatoes (peeled), 2 bell peppers, 5 carrots, one celery, 1 bunch of parsley, 3 L water, spices. Blanche cabbage 25 minutes. Cut everything in small pieces. Bring to a boil. Close and cook on low until soft.
  • - The recipes are just guidelines. I don't like leeks and they're a bit too expensive too, so don't use them. I added lots of garlic and onion (sautéed in a bit of olive oil), and herbs. Sprouts are a great addition, sprinkled just before eating. Once I added 1 tbsp of my favorite bottled salsa (Herdez) and a handful of chopped cilantro to my dish. When I was desperately hungry I ate some nuts (they do fill you up and are "good" fat) and once a thin slice of Mexican fresh cheese (low on fat). After the diet I kept carbs low, ate only sprouted bread, tortillas and chapatis (Ezekiel, Genesis, etc), or whole grain/brown rice bread. I use Splenda and try to avoid cane/beet sugar. When you think you might kill for a taste of chocolate, try this "Low Carb 3 Minute Chocolate Cake": 1/4 cup soy flour; 1 tbsp cocoa powder (Nestlé Toll House); 1/4 tsp baking powder; 5 (1 g) packets Splenda; 2 tsp melted butter; 1 tbsp water; 1 egg. Blend flour, cocoa, baking powder, splenda in a 2-cup baking dish. Add water, butter and egg; blend thoroughly with fork. Cover with plastic wrap and cut a small vent in the top. Microwave on HIGH 1 min, until knife comes out clean. Cool or eat warm with whipped cream. (This does NOT taste like soy!) Try also the "South Beach Muffin": 1 large egg; 1 1/2 tsp Splenda; 1 tsp cinnamon (I mix cinnamon + nutmeg); 2 tsp plain fat-free yogurt; 1/2 tsp baking powder; 3 tbsp ground flax seeds. Spray microwave safe ramekin/bowl with cooking spray (or use muffin liner). Mix egg and splenda with fork until well combined; add yogurt, blend well. Mix in flaxseed, cinnamon and baking powder until well combined. Pour in ramekin; microwave on HIGH 1:30 minute (Note: dish should be no more than 1/2 full; these rise a lot.) Best served hot. Then, there is the "South Beach Diet Flax Cracker": 4 tbsp flax seed meal; 2 tbsp chicken broth; 2 tbsp water; spices; salt. Mix flax and liquid. Add spices + salt. Spread thin on parchment paper. Microwave 2-3 minutes. Serve with Hummus bi Tahine, low fat/carb dip or cheese. If you like chapatti-like breads, you will love this.

TURBO-CHARGED WEIGHT-LOSS SOUP DIET



Turbo-Charged Weight-Loss Soup Diet image

I am a big fan of the Good Housekeeping Soup Diet and I've enjoyed it just as it is for awhile now. Recently I came across a new recipe in Woman's World magazine which is loaded with Antioxidants and it inspired me to combine the two recipes with a tweak or two here and there. I have posted this recipe in metric measurements as I have found that weights convert better than cups when it comes to vegetables and canned items.

HAMBURGER MINESTRONE SOUP (SOUTH BEACH DIET)



Hamburger Minestrone Soup (South Beach Diet) image

I came across this recipe for minestrone, adapted for the South Beach Diet, on the 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet boards a few years ago. It's become a family favorite since. It makes quite a lot of soup, but it reheats well. If making this for the South Beach Diet, watch out for added sugar in the tomatoes and beans-- a lot of canned beans and tomato products have sugar added to them. You can also substitute very lean ground turkey and chicken broth for the beef.

CHICKEN DIET SOUP



Chicken Diet Soup image

This soup is so tasty. you can eat it over and over and not tire of it. Very satisfying. eat as much as you want, and you will loose a bit of belly fat! Oh, and did I say it was EZ ?

Provided by Balthuz

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 10-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 skinless chicken breast halves, with bone in
2 -3 large leeks, green and white parts, cleaned thoroughly, and then chopped
5 -6 stalks celery, cleaned and chopped
2 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh gingerroot, not chopped (one large slice)
2 -4 dashes hot sauce (I like Crystal, It's mild yet flavorful)
1 -2 tablespoon salt
thinly sliced jalapeno
cilantro
sesame oil (the toasted, fragrant variety)
hot chili oil
salt
cooked rice (I prefer a blend of brown and wild rice)

Steps:

  • Put all the soup ingredients into a large 8-10 quart pot of water and bring to a boil.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for an hour our so until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone.
  • Remove the chicken and let it cool so you can handle it to remove the bones.
  • Shred the chicken and return to the pot.
  • Bring to a boil again, and then turn down on a very low simmer.
  • The longer it simmers, the tastier it becomes.
  • Just ladle some of the soup into a bowl, add a few scoops of rice and top with garnishes to taste.
  • This is just a basic recipe and has room for many tasty variables.
  • Sometimes I garnish with cumin, or toasted mustard seed and a sprinkle of curry powder--whatever I'm craving.
  • Basically, the soup is very low in fat and if you use the brown and wild rice, it is low in gluten.
  • Eat it exclusively for a day or two and you will notice a flatter belly and feel healthy and energized.
  • I keep a pot going on the back of the stove all the time so my family always has a nice healthy snack or quick meal on hand.

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 45m

Yield 7 , 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra virgin
2 onions, large white chopped or sliced
1 1/2 lbs chicken, boneless skinless diced
1 carrot, large finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, large minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced with seeds
2 teaspoons thyme or 2 teaspoons oregano, finely minced
8 cups chicken broth, fat-free
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
6 cups baby spinach leaves, packed
1 tomatoes, large finely diced
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
7 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
lemon wedge (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large stockpot over med. heat. Add onions and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through and onions are lightly browned), stirring occasionally.
  • Add carrot, garlic, jalapeno and thyme or oregano. Cook another 2 minutes.
  • Stir in broth and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil. Add beans, spinach and tomato. Bring back to a boil.
  • Turn off the heat and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle each serving with 1 T parmesan cheese. If desired add a squirt of lemon.
  • NOTES: To finely chop carrot, I coursely chop, put in a blender, add water to cover, then blend until carrots are desired consistency. Then drain and use in recipe. If you want to keep some of the nutrients, measure the water, and then subtract that amount of liquid from the broth. I also added the spinach when I add the carrot, garlic & jalapeno so it gets cooked more.

AMAZING VEGETABLE SOUP (SOUTH BEACH DIET)



Amazing Vegetable Soup (South Beach Diet) image

This was posted by a fellow SBDer, Mamacita, in the 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet boards. It's a wonderfully delicious, simple, vegetable soup. It originally called for zucchini, but I leave it out as I dislike summer squash. Feel free to add some in if you like, though. I sometimes add in a can of navy beans, rinsed and drained, with the tomatoes. For South Beach Diet, make sure your tomatoes have no added sugar. It makes quite a bit, but it reheats fairly well--or you can cool and freeze it. Don't be afraid of the garlic--it mellows out a lot during cooking.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can navy beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
shredded parmesan cheese, optional garnish (optional)
basil pesto, optional garnish (optional)

ROASTED TOMATO SOUP (SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE 2)



Roasted Tomato Soup (South Beach Diet Phase 2) image

From newest book. Haven't tried. This rich, rustic flavor of this soup comes from slow-roasting the tomatoes (you can do other things while they are in the oven). If you like a little sweetness, add a touch of sugar substitute when you adjust your seasonings. If you're on phases 2 or 3, add whole wheat tortellini for a satisfying entree.

Provided by Lizzie Rodriquez

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 1.25 cup servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lbs plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
1 medium onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Arrange the tomatos, cut side up, on the pan. Scatter onion and garlic in a single layer around tomatoes. Sprinkle tomatoes, onion, garlic, with basil, oregano, salt and pepper to taste; drizzle with oil. Bake on the middle of the rack of the oven until tomatoes are golden on the bottoms and start to collapse, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and carefully transfer the contents of the pan to a blender. Add 1/2 cup broth and puree until smooth.
  • Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup of broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove pan from heat and season soup with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor and nutritional value. Ask at your local farmer's market if available.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients. Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to brighten up your meal or spices like dill, thyme, or parsley to add extra flavor.
  • Make a big batch of soup on the weekend and enjoy it throughout the week. Enjoy different tastes each day.
  • Freeze individual portions of soup for quick and easy meals later. You'll enjoy having a healthy soup ready whenever you need it.
  • Serve soup with a simple side salad or a piece of crusty bread for a complete meal.
