Thanks for the info on this soup. I searched on Michael Tierra's

site and found it. Thought I would post it here for others.

 

HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR!

BASIC FAT BURNING SOUP

 

Ingredients:

 

6 large green onions or large red onion

1-2 cans of tomatoes

1 large head of cabbage

2 green peppers

1 bunch celery

rosemary & tarragon for flavoring

shitake mushrooms for flavoring

1 hot pepper

2 or 3 cloves of chopped garlic

1 4 inch piece of kombu seaweed

vegetable bouillon (such as Bioforce's Plantaforce)

Spices such as rosemary, sage, thyme, tarragon or oregano can be

added as desired toward the ending of cooking. Season with salt,

pepper, parsley, bouillon or hot sauce, if desired. However, with

the bouillon added, it probably requires little or no salt.

 

Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces, sauté in olive oil & cover

with water. Boil fast for 10 (ten) minutes. Cut to simmer & continue

cooking until vegetables are tender. This soup can be eaten 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. If eaten alone for indefinite periods, you would suffer from

malnutrition.

 

DAY ONE: All fruits except bananas. Cantaloupe and watermelon are

lower in calories than most fruits. Eat only the soup and fruits.

For drinks - un-sweetened tea, cranberry juice, or water.

 

DAY TWO: All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with all the

fresh, raw or canned vegetables. Try to eat leafy vegetables and

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 an

butter. Do not eat any fruits.

 

DAY THREE: Eat all soup, fruits and vegetables you want. Do not have

a baked potato. If you have eaten for three days, as above, and have

not cheated, you will find you have lost 5-7 pounds.

 

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 this particular day your body will need the potassium and the

carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your craving for

sweets.

 

DAY FIVE: Beef or lamb and tomatoes. Try to select high quality

range fed animal protein free of antibiotics or hormones. You may

have 10-20 ounces of beef or lamb and a can of tomatoes or as many

as 6 fresh tomatoes on this day. 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. You can substitute either wheat gluten

(seitan) for the beef or lamb or aduki beans, chicken or fish.

 

DAY SIX: Beef or lamb & 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. You can

substitute either wheat gluten (seitan) for the beef or lamb or

aduki beans, chicken or fish.

 

DAY SEVEN: Brown rice, un-sweetened 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 will 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.

 

This diet is fast, fat burning and the secret is that you will burn

no more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of

impurities and give you a feeling of well being. This diet does not

lend itself to drinking alcoholic beverages at any time because of

the removal for fat buildup in your system. Go off the diet at least

24 hours before intake of alcohol.

 

Because everyone's 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 or bread. You can eat broiled chicken

(absolutely no skin) instead of beef. Vegetarians can use aduki or

mung beans, seitan.

 

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.

 

One of the best herbal formulas to use during this fast is Triphala.

Take from 2 to tablets morning and midday and 4 in the evening.

Instead of coffee or tea use a grain beverage. A very good fasting

tea is a combination of nettles, chickweed and fennel seed which

also helps in weight reduction. There are many excellent green

drinks and soya protein powders that can be used to supplement as

needed and replace meat.

 

To keep the weight off, replace one meal a day with soup, eat more

vegetables.
