Guest guest Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Basic Fat-Burning Soup JoAnn Guest Apr 13, 2005 21:42 PDT Modified by Dr. Michael Tierra L.AC., O.M.D. --- Ingredients: 6 large green onions or large red onion 1-2 cans of organic tomatoes 1 large head of cabbage 2 green peppers 1 bunch celery (preferably organic) organic 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 sea-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 extra virgin olive oil & cover with spring 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. 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, unsweetened cranberry juice, or spring water. DAY TWO: All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh, raw or canned vegetables. Try to eat dark leafy vegetables and stay away from peas and corn. Eat along with the soup. At dinner time on this day, reward yourself with a big organic baked potato with a pat of organic 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: 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 carbohydrates, but on this particular day your body will need the potassium and the carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your cravings. DAY FIVE: Organic Beef or free range lamb and organic tomatoes. Try to select high quality range fed animal protein free of antibiotics or hormones. You may have 10-20 ounces of organic beef or free range lamb and a can of organic tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh organic 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 organic beef or free range lamb or " aduki " beans, free range chicken or cold water fish. DAY SIX: Organic beef or free range lamb & vegetables. Eat to your heart's content of the organic 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 organic beef or free range lamb or aduki beans, free range 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 of bran or fiber. DEFINITE NO-NO'S - BREAD, ROLLS, BUNS, ALCOHOL, CARBONATED DRINKS INCLUDING DIET DRINKS. STICK WITH WATER, UN-SWEETENED HERBAL TEA, FRESH SQUEEZED UN-SWEETENED FRUIT JUICES or CRANBERRY JUICE. 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 free range or organic broiled chicken (absolutely no skin)instead of beef. Vegetarians can use aduki or mung beans, seitan. 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 onone of the beef 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 ofcoffee or tea use a grain beverage (coffee substitute). www.teecino.com 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 non-gmo 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 organicvegetables. -- This diet is derived from one given at the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital for overweight heart patients to lose weight rapidly, usually before surgery. Modifications have been added by Dr. Michael Tierra, Acupuncturist and Herbalist. www.planetherbs.com Moderator's Note: This soup is delicious. For even more nutrition add some " Herbamare " or " Trocomare " seasoning which is a fabulously healthy salt- free seasoning. This is a minced garlic and herb mixture found at your local health food stores. This formula is made by Bioforce was concocted by Alfred Vogel. It will turn the humblest creation into a gourmet delight. Enjoy!
