7 day Sacred Heart Diet

This was tough....but Ken and I managed to complete the 7 day Sacred Heart Diet. It was a great cleanse (detox), to help us ease back into eating meat again, after being Vegan (no meat/no dairy) for 6 months. I had to go back to eating meat, because my hair was falling out BIG TIME! Here is the sacred heart soup recipe and rules for each day!

SOUP:

• 2 cans of stewed tomatoes and 1 can diced tomatoes
• 3 plus large green onions
• 1 large can of beef broth (no fat) about 20 oz
• 1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (beefy onion)
• 1 bunch of celery
• 2 cans green beans
• 2 lbs. Carrots
• 3 Green Peppers
• Worcestershire sauce
• red pepper flakes
• garlic ( 4 - 5 cloves)
• cayenne
• salt and pepper
• parsley, Italian seasoning, basil and oregano

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

Over the seven days, in addition to as much soup as you want, there is a different diet for each day: *Day One- Soup and fruit. (no bananas) *Day Two- Soup and vegetables (no dry beans, peas or corn), and then a baked potato with butter at dinnertime *Day Three- Soup, fruit and veggies (no potato!) By today, up to seven pounds could be shed! *Day Four- Bananas (at least three) and skim milk- on this day, the body will need calcium and potassium. *Day Five- Soup, 10-20 ounces of beef and tomatoes (one can or six fresh) *Day Six- Soup and as much beef and veggies you want *Day Seven- Soup, brown rice, veggies, unsweetened fruit juice 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.
