Notes:
This 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. If correctly followed, it will clean out your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 pounds and possibly 17 pounds, and experience an abundance of energy.

Servings: 1-7

Ingredients:
SOUP:

* 1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
* 3 plus large green onions
* 1 large can of beef broth (no fat)
* 1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (chicken noodle)
* 1 bunch of celery
* 2 cans green beans
* 2 lbs. Carrots
* 2 Green Peppers

Season with salt, pepper curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, hot or Worcestershire sauce. Cut veggies in small to medium pieces. Cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook until veggies are tender.

This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry during the week. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. You may want to fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.

DRINKS:

* Unsweetened juices
* Tea (also herbal)
* Coffee
* Cranberry juice
* Skim milk
* Water, water, water

Directions:
DAY ONE
Any fruit (except bananas). Cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most other fruits. Eat only soup and fruit today.

DAY TWO
All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with fresh raw, cooked or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas or corn. Eat veggies along with the soup. At dinnertime tonight reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Don't eat any fruits through today.

DAY THREE
Eat all the soup, fruit and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten as above for three days and not cheated, you should find that you have lost 5-7 pounds.

DAY FOUR
Bananas and skim milk: Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates, as is the milk but on this particular day, your body will need the potassium and carbs. Proteins and calcium to lessen the cravings for sweets.

DAY FIVE
Beef and tomatoes: you may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes, or as many as 6 tomatoes on this day. Eat the soup at least once today.

DAY SIX
Beef and veggies, eat to your heart's content of the beef and veggies today. You can even have 2-3 steaks if you like with green leafy veggies but no baked potato. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today.

DAY SEVEN
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies, again, be sure to stuff yourself and eat the soup. You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish.

By the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on this diet, you should have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again.

This diet is fast. The secret lies within the principle that you will burn 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 any alcoholic beverages at any time. Because of the fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 14 hours before any intake of alcohol.

Due to the variety of digestive systems in individuals, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you do not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find that your bowel movements have changed. Eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need caffeine after the third day.

The basic fat burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry during the seven days. Eat as much as you wish. Remember the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled, boiled or baked chicken instead of the beef. Absolutely no skin on the chicken. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef for the other days.

Continue on the diet as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically.

DO NOT - DO NOT
No bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks (including diet drinks). Remember, absolutely no fried foods.

DO - DO - DO - DO
Drink plenty - at least 6 to 8 glasses - of water a day, as well as any combination of the following beverages: black coffee, unsweetened fruit drinks, cranberry juice and skim milk.

This diet comes from the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital that is used for overweight heart patients in order to lose weight rapidly, usually prior to surgery.

salt grinder: twist over chicken
Bag of veggies that you would like to have in an oriental food.

Directions:
Heat up water for pasta.
Place chicken in pan coated in non stick spray and heated.( Use Medium Heat) As chicken is cooking cut it up with the spatula. add salt and pepper
(you may want to dice chicken before cooking, but this is what we like to do); once chicken is looking like it is cooked add the terriaki sauce; 3tbsp and mix in and cook until done

While chicken is cooking you can make your spaghetti as directed.
Cook your veggies as you prefer in a low fat or no fat method.
Chicken done: move pan over and cover.
Pasta done: drain, rinse with tepid water and place into pan with chicken. Mix chicken and pasta well; add veggies; mix well; stir in remaining Yoshidas sauce.
Enjoy!
My family loved this and I just threw it together. Low cal alternative to Japanese or Chinese. Kids had theirs without the veggies.

Anyway, I did want to mention a strategy I used in this recipe. I’ve learned from experimenting that most recipe calling for bacon can easily be lightened up by using a bit of real bacon bits instead. One tablespoon provides a hint of the bacon flavor without all that added fat. This is how I get my bacon fix in omelets. It works like acharm!

Servings: 5

Ingredients:
• Small sweet onion chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic mined
• About 1 cup fresh carrots sliced
• 2 tbsp (14g) real bacon bits
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 cup (128g) dry lentils rinsed
• ½ tsp dried thyme
• 5 cups chicken or vegetable broth (or a mixture of both)
• Non-stick cooking spray

Directions:
Spray a medium pot with non-stick cooking spray and warm over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic cooking for a few minutes until tender.
Stir in the carrots and bacon bits.
Continue to cook, adding the tomato paste. Stir and coat all the veggies with the paste.
Add and stir in the lentil, thyme and broth.
Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally then reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer for about an hour.
