Sacred Heart Medical Diet
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.
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

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.

wow, i just printed that out, ill try it and tell you guys how it works, it sounds too goo to be true, but hey, its worth trying.

I'm sure it works...i mean after reading over this diet, its basically a detox diet to cleanse the system. The thing about these crash diets though is that they are temporary...of course you'll drop 10 pounds but it'll go right back on when you start eating a normal diet AND i know many people are horribly cranky/irritable and light headed while doing these things.

Its not for me, but good luck...let us know the results.

im going to the supermarket today to make sure i have all the proper foods to prepare the soup. I dont need to loose 17 pounds but if i get to 10 ill be thrilled. ill be the weight i was when i was 19
ill let u know how it worked in 7 days...

i agree. sounds like it just makes you poop alot

I am soo curious about this. Although I don't need any help with the pooping so I hope that is not the 'secret' to this diet!!

Make sure to let us know how it went.

Please keep us posted. I am curious!!
I have been putting the diet off, but I need something to get my butt in gear.
Good luck.

Well its mid-day through day one and im HUNGRY!
I cant wait to go home and eat the fresh strawberries that i bought last night.

It sounds very similiar to the cabbage diet. Remember that one!!!! I tried it and lost like 10 pounds in 2 weeks. I was sick as a dog for 2 months after that.
