  What is the special soup mentioned in Day 4? And should there be any modifications made if following this program for several weeks?

• 2. admin  |  October 26th, 2007 at 4:07 pm

  hi, i ll put up the soup receipe soon and yes the gap of 2 days is recommended before starting on another week…keep us posted on how it went!!! Good Luck

  With the vegetables, are dressings allowed, like a vinaigrette? And are you also allowed to use sauces when cooking vegetables, like teriyaki or anything of the sort?

  And for beef also, can you use any kind of sauces to marinade or is there anything specific to watch out for?

• 4. Emms  |  October 26th, 2007 at 6:47 pm

  General Motors? Do you mean General Mills?

• 5. terri  |  October 26th, 2007 at 7:20 pm

  is it whole milk or skim milk for day 4

• 6. admin  |  October 26th, 2007 at 9:07 pm

  Vegetables as may be taken in the form of a salad if desired. No dressing except malt, white or wine vinegar, squeezed lemon, garlic, herbs. No more than one tea spoon of oil.

  Any kind of milk..i tried it with 2%…

  General Motors..the GM Corporation.. NOT general mills

  Here’s the deal everyone…. Eat sensibly. Work out. Trust me….the rest will take care of itself.

  You MUST make a lifestyle change. You have to commit to eating with sense. Stop being a fat ass. I used to be 210 lbs of flabby fat but brought it down to 182 lbs with most of it being muscle. You can do the same. It’s not rocket science.

  Just start eating to live. And nothing more. Food is fuel. It is not a drug which you need to consume. Give your body what it needs. Not all the extra bullshit. Make your diet full of protein, fiber, and fat, and you will lose weight. I promise. Cut the carbs down to 100% whole wheat products after workout or at breakfast.

  Seriously, just eat healthy and work out and I promise you are golden.

  please email the soup and your results. how much is expected to lose?

• 9. yoga jan  |  October 28th, 2007 at 8:43 pm

  I started this today, because I need a jump start to take off some more weight. Oh, if it was only so easy to just eat less and exercise more. I have lost 35 pounds by carefully eating well and low calorie foods and exercising 5 days a week. Then I stopped losing and even gained some weight back. This plan is attractive to me because it seems like it is something I can do to break the plateau and get back to losing again.

  I will let you know.

• 10. debz  |  October 28th, 2007 at 10:50 pm

  1 teaspoon of oil for the entire day? is salt intake permissible?

• 11. admin  |  October 29th, 2007 at 6:16 am

  yes, one spoon of oil permitted a day and i took salt with vegetables and fruits..

• 12. sam  |  October 29th, 2007 at 9:19 am

  is tea allowed? i want to follow this plan but i have tea each day, non-negotiable to stop.
  thanks

• 13. admin  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:43 am

  Beverages you may consume while on the program :

  Water (flavoured with lemon/lime if desired).
  Club Soda is OK.
  Black Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness.
  Black Tea = Herb or Leaf.
  Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices which are part of day seven. No fruit juices before day seven.

• 15. sam  |  October 30th, 2007 at 10:34 am

  Am on day 3 … desperately looking for day 4 soup recipe…
  If I don’t find it posted, could I substitute just plain freshly made vegetable soup (no potatoes - tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, celery, peas and beans)?

  Thanks

• 16. Mahesh  |  October 30th, 2007 at 3:16 pm

  Could u suggest a vegetarian option instead of beef

• 17. admin  |  October 30th, 2007 at 4:24 pm

  hey sam,

  Here is the soup, yes you can make a soup with a combination of vegetables u prefer(as u mentioned, no potatoes)

  The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to consume large quantities of this soup.

  28 oz, Water, 6 Large Onions, 2 Green Peppers, Whole Tomatoes (fresh or canned), 1 Head Cabbage, 1 Bunch Celery, 4 Envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix, Herbs and Flavouring as desired.

• 18. admin  |  October 30th, 2007 at 4:26 pm

  Mahesh, You can consume anything that is high in proteins, you can have chikpeas(chana) or even have soya beans, i ll be posting the vegetarian version of the GM diet soon…keep visiting this space for more.

• 19. debz  |  October 30th, 2007 at 9:44 pm

  hey guyzz….can sumone plss post what they are exactly doing on the all veggie day?? o gawd…. i am dreading the thought of munching on raw tomatoes and cucumbers all day thru…….

• 20. debz  |  October 30th, 2007 at 9:52 pm

  thank u admin ….

• 21. shanth  |  October 31st, 2007 at 5:57 am

  Guys,

  Its very tough after starting.
  better get ready and be prepared to follow this. moreover, make sure u consult your medical practioner for doin this. coz, after losing due to this, u need to get advice which on the other way will impact you.

• 22. smiley  |  October 31st, 2007 at 6:57 am

  hi, am on the fifth day and lost 4 lbs already…my sister had started with me and she lost 2. but we r enjoying it a lot…the banana day was the easiest..though i did some cheating by having diet coke on the veggie day…hope it wont hinder the weightloss any more…howz everyone else doing

• 23. Jen  |  October 31st, 2007 at 8:25 pm

  I am vegan and I know I can substitute chickpeas and stuff for the beef, but can I have soymilk instead of regular milk on the milk day?

• 24. nancy  |  October 31st, 2007 at 9:38 pm

  Due to medical problem i can consume no red meats. Only chicken, and turkey . No fish either. Everything else is fine . Can i substitute chicken or turkey for red meat. If not is there some other protein or food . nancy

• 25. Rudy  |  November 1st, 2007 at 4:06 am

  5-10 kg? Or 5-10 pounds a week? It almost seems impossible to lose 100 lbs in a month!

• 26. admin  |  November 1st, 2007 at 7:56 am

  hi,

  Jen - Yes you can have soy milk but in very less proportion.

  nancy - No chicken or turkey, you can have small proportions of rice instead or chik peas.

  Rudy - Weight loss differs from person to person and it guarantees a minimum of 5 pound weightloss…

  Thanks

• 27. Matthew  |  November 1st, 2007 at 4:59 pm

  OK this sounds to good to be true. I try to run everyday but i overindulge on food. Not bad food really just whatever my parents make for dinner and thoughs snacks in between. I try to going on diets but on the third or fourth day I am dying to eat and i eat like I used to and there goes my diet. Im 235lbs and 20 years old. I will try this diet. Does this diet require excersice? ps. I already drink 150oz+ of water a day.

• 28. admin  |  November 1st, 2007 at 8:40 pm

  Hey smiley congratulations on the weightloss, keep up the good work. Am sure you would like to educate all of us on your weightloss results..

  Matthew: Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE: 20 mins of walking is definately going to help but this diet doesnt state mandatory excercise, After the third day i felt energetic and trust me i was way more than what you are now!

• 29. sam  |  November 2nd, 2007 at 3:53 pm

  Hello, Day 5 stipulates meat and tomatoes… a bit unorthodox for breakfast - so I substituted cottage cheese portion for breakfast only…. would like to repeat the diet starting Monday any suggestions for a better non meat start on day 5?
  Day 6 can start with veg no problem - just 5 is tough!

  Tip for day 6: I pureed a piece of meat with loads of vegetables based on the vegetable soup of day 4 and that worked out great. Something nice and warm in the tummy and kept me very full.

  Tomorrow is day 7 (lost 2 Kg/ 5lbs roughly - and yes very energetic and feeling good). Hope to make it 6 kgs by end of next cycle.

  Thanks for sharing the wonderful program.

• 30. admin  |  November 2nd, 2007 at 8:54 pm

  Hello Sam,

  Very Well done, for the 5th day you can have the soup for breakfast and then have meat and tomatoes the rest of the day.

  As far as the weightloss is concerned, you will lose more weight by the end of the program.

  Make sure you invite all your friends to view this program as we all deserve the right to a healthy living!

• 31. kevin  |  November 3rd, 2007 at 5:49 am

  Any substitute for bananas? I am allergic to them.

• 32. GypsyMan  |  November 3rd, 2007 at 5:57 am

  is it O.K. to repeat this 7 day cycle for extended consecutive periods?

• 33. admin  |  November 3rd, 2007 at 7:26 am

  Gypsyman:If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you keep a gap of two days before the consecutive cycle

  Kevin: you can have milk. No bananas and try looking for something that can substitute the nutrients that bananas have.

  Good luck guys!

• 34. andreas  |  November 3rd, 2007 at 3:14 pm

  hi,
  i am vegetarian. what else can i eat instead of beef. i also don´t eat fish and chicken.
  sorry for my english, i am from germany

  andreas

• 35. Matthew  |  November 4th, 2007 at 2:30 pm

  I was wondering if me having 8 or so m&m pieces is bad. I don’t think so but it being Halloween i couldn’t resist. Also, I am feeling better and have more energy. I am ending day 3 with some oranges. For the vegetable day i had the steamed veggies they have now. They are really good. Are they right for this diet?. Thanks

• 36. admin  |  November 4th, 2007 at 5:40 pm

  Andreas: you can have small portions of rice or chik peas instead of beef. Everything else remains the same. Good luck and keep posting your results.

  Matthew: M&Ms are certainly not good but thankfully had a few of them so shouldnt harm much. Yes, the steamed veggies are great! you can also have the soup as mentioned and the key is “NEVER STAY HUNGRY”

  If you feel like eating then eat all that is suggested for that day. it will make the diet more doable!

  GOOD LUCK everyone!

• 37. John  |  November 4th, 2007 at 6:54 pm

  I was wondering if there is a substitute for the soup. I cannot make the soup and if there is a canned or other simple soup that i could make please post.

• 38. admin  |  November 4th, 2007 at 8:32 pm

  John:The soup is for your own taste, its not mandatory. You can also eat raw veggies and fruits. Or steamed/boiled vegetables. Either way.Good Luck with your diet and do keep us informed on the results.

• 39. leah  |  November 4th, 2007 at 9:22 pm

  After the 7 days are over, are we just supposed to go back to eating normally? or is this program supposed to repeat itself every 7 days?

• 40. admin  |  November 4th, 2007 at 9:37 pm

  Leah: you can go back to eating normally and can repeat this program after a gap of 2 days if you desire further weightloss. A 20 min walk or some mild exercise is recommended when you start eating normally.

  Keep us informed on your results.

• 41. Hayee  |  November 5th, 2007 at 5:35 am

  Hey admin,
  Great program and easy to follow. I am in my 5th day and lost 4lbs already. Needed a clarification…

  Can you please tell us why chicken/fish can’t be an alternative to beef? The purpose of beef intake is mainly protein and I believe chicken/fish (in non oily forms) provide an equivalent of that. I’ve seen all these meets being mentioned together on all diet programs, so just want to check if there is a special reason on why chicken/fish can’t be replaced with beef?

• 42. Theresa  |  November 5th, 2007 at 7:25 am

  on day 5 you have to eat 6 tomatoes. I am not a tomato fan….not in the very least. How would you suggest eating so many tomatoes?

• 43. keri  |  November 5th, 2007 at 8:12 am

  it just so happens that i HATE tomatoes…what should i do. one of my friends wnated to try this with me and they hate bananas….what should she do?

• 44. admin  |  November 5th, 2007 at 7:38 pm

  Theresa:You can make a soup and include tomato in its ingredients or just have a salad with some tomatoes. i made a tomato soup with pepper and it tasted good.

  Keri: As mentioned above, you can either make some soup with few tomatoes squeezed in there or just have it in some veggie salad. For bananas, you need to have milk on that day and try to consume atleast 2 bananas that day. You can have a large quantity of soup.

• 45. Matthew  |  November 6th, 2007 at 8:13 am

  Just thought I would let you all know I’am on Day 5 and am 228. Down from 236.

• 46. Kathy Baker  |  November 6th, 2007 at 9:33 am

  So what is wrong with drinking some, say, diet sprite as well as the water? I’m usually a coffee/tea drinker but with milk so that is sort of out for me right now. I usually use Splenda in tea and coffee too……….so no other drinks are allowed?

• 47. Bobby  |  November 6th, 2007 at 4:52 pm

  Six tomatoes. WOW I am eating them whole, just biting into them. Its horrible. Even salt doesnt do much. Why SIX!! lol

• 48. Rae  |  November 7th, 2007 at 1:22 am

  hmmm… i REALLY hate tomatoes. but i like tomato soup… any chance i can sub that for the tomatoes?

  i’m excited to try this

• 49. Kathy Baker  |  November 7th, 2007 at 3:08 am

  What about things like decaf coffee with skim milk. There are no calories in that. Also I am not a red meat eater so why not chicken or turkey meat? Those are lower in calories and fat than beef anyway so why shouldn’t that help lose weight? It’s fairly easy to stick to the food regimen but giving up calorie free drinks is difficult for me.

• 50. Pearly Ting  |  November 7th, 2007 at 8:49 am

  hi, i am on 2nd day. in asia, chinese usually cook vegetable with soya sauce or boil vegetable and then top a little oyster sauce, salt or soya sauce… erm.. seedweed, carrot and corn are commonly consumed. is that okay? thanks.

• 51. Rubab  |  November 7th, 2007 at 1:11 pm

  I have tried this soup, this really works.

• 52. Kathy Baker  |  November 8th, 2007 at 3:21 am

  I’m on third day and have lost almost two kilos but boy my intestines were not very happy with me yesterday as they were sorely irritated. But I guess that is the idea to flush out your system and not keep the food inside???!!!! I’m missing a decaf coffee and cannot understand why we can’t have that if used with nonfact milk and a zero calorie sweetener?

• 53. andy staton  |  November 8th, 2007 at 4:29 pm

  Wow!!! I am definitely one for extreme measures - but this takes the cake for me. I am eager to hear what other people’s success are and if the admin/writer has actually tried it himself or found this on another site/book/zine, etc?

• 54. Kathy Baker  |  November 9th, 2007 at 1:51 pm

  I am on day 4 and this morning I weighed almost three kilos less. I thought the fruit day was difficult as this is not a time in Italy for many good fruits nor melons.

  The veggie day was not so bad. I roasted carrots, garlic and onions in the oven and they were really good. I like the soup but have not been exactly sure which days I could eat it. I thought only on the 4th day and didn’t know I could eat it on the 5th day. It looks like you are saying only beef and tomatoes. Which days can the soup be eaten? Also, I just do not eat beef, pork, lamb, etc. Why wouldn’t chicken be allowed? It is protein and less fatty. I don’t think I could only eat tomatoes and soup or types of beans.

  I also cheated on the milk day and used skim milk in my black coffee

  I am looking forward to what my weight is tomorrow because I feel like I have eaten more today but have only eaten the soup and bananas (and the milk)!!!!

• 55. Kathy Baker  |  November 9th, 2007 at 4:34 pm

  Wish our admin person would answer some questions!

• 56. admin  |  November 9th, 2007 at 10:43 pm

  Hello people,

  Sorry for being late on replies here. Good Job Kathy.

  Pearl: You are doing it right! Good luck

  Kathy: The non calorie drinks usually contain aspartme as a part of the ingredients which is not recommended, You are not forced to eat according to the diet. It is mere suggestive. You are in control of your diet and as far as the soup is concerned, you can have small portions of soup any day of the diet. Beef was mentioned in the original diet by GM. They tested it with a number of varieties in red meat and didnt get the desired results.

  Rae: i personally dislike tomatoes so i made a soup with thich tomato pulp with all my fav herbs and had it all through the day. You can consume tomatoes in any form.

  Andy: This diet is taken from the GM Corporation(human resources). This has been thoroughly tried and tested and yes,i tried it too….i did 4 weeks of this program consecutively and lost 15kgs in all.i still do it as often as i like to maintain the weight that i always wanted.

  The only motive to share this program is because i know what happens when you fail to find the right size for the clothes you always wanted and the life you wanted to live and trust me, dont let your weight rule you.

• 57. Kathy Baker  |  November 10th, 2007 at 3:21 am

  Thanks for answering all the questions. That helped. I noticed I weighed three kilos less after three days but lost only two kilos after four days. Must have been those bananas?? Hopefully today after only tomatoes and some soup plus I’m having a turkey burger (no bun or anything) for dinner, I’ll shed some more pounds. Italy has a lot of fresh turkey so I get it freshly ground. Hopefully one turkey burger won’t be a bad thing compared to so much beef which is allowed.

• 58. Rebecca  |  November 10th, 2007 at 11:39 pm

  -Is there a substitute for the Lipton garlic powder packet, and if so what in what quantity?

  -And I am 14 would it be dangerous if I tried this diet? If so, what changes should I make for it to be less dangerous?

  -Also, if I have to take the diet to school with me, what are some suggestions? I know I can take a fruit salad, and chopped veggies. But for the beef and tomatoes what should I do?

  -And are you positive this system is not dangerous?

• 59. Sophie  |  November 11th, 2007 at 9:39 am

  I would like to know if you regain the weight after.. yo-yo dieting could be very dangerous and losing weight so quickly too inst it bad for your metabolism I’d like to know if this is dangerous…?
  thank you

• 60. Kathy Baker  |  November 12th, 2007 at 3:40 am

  I am on the 7th day of this diet and it has not been difficult and I haven’t felt bad from it at all. I haven’t weighed myself today but so far I have lost about 3 kilos. I didn’t eat as much beef as was recommended. I normally don’t eat red meats but did on those two days but a thin steak was it. Don’t know if that matters or not. After stopping for two days I am going to begin again but when it comes to the meat days I am going to more than likely eat chicken. I live in Italy and so don’t have Lipton onion soup. I just used water with chicken bouillon. That’s all I could figure out. It is possible Knorr has some onion soup products but I didn’t check. The water and chicken bouillon for the soup was fine. I enjoyed the soup.

• 61. Becca  |  November 12th, 2007 at 9:23 am

  im a vegetarian and on one of the days it says eat beef.

  what could i eat as an alternative?

• 62. Savannah  |  November 12th, 2007 at 5:37 pm

  I am not overweight but i would like to try this diet to shed a few more pounds because I’m not quite as thin as I would like. I am about 50kg’s and about 1.5 m. tall. I would like to lose about 5-10 kilos so this is perfect for me. But I was wondering if this diet would be dangerous for me because I am anemic and I have Orthostatic Hypotension, which basically means i get lightheaded and I faint often if my blood pressure gets too low or various other things. I take iron pills every morning but I still don’t want to place any more excess stress on my body. If you could help me with this that would be wonderful.

• 63. Kathy Baker  |  November 13th, 2007 at 2:11 am

  I finished the 7 days but only lost two kilos. Don’t know why. Still I normally lost only one doing my own diet but frankly my own diet is a lot more satisfactory. It is more a balanced diet but less in quantity. Will probably try this one another week but with some changes in it. Thanks!

• 64. Janet Robinson  |  November 13th, 2007 at 10:57 pm

  I didn’t see any mention of drinking black coffee or tea. Is that allowed?

• 65. Janet Robinson  |  November 13th, 2007 at 11:06 pm

  I also was wondering about how much rice is allowed on day 7 and how much fruit juice is allowed?

• 66. mike w  |  November 14th, 2007 at 9:08 am

  I stumbled upon this diet, read the good reveiws and gave it a try. I’m not sure how scientific this diet is or maybe it works because you are only consuming around 1500 calories per day,but I have had Amazing results. I give it a big thumbs up. I conside myself to be in pretty good shape. I lift weights twice a week and wrestle twice a week as well.I started monday before last using my digital scale, I weighed 171.4 with 10.2% body fat. I followed the diet 95% of the time with very little cheating. I drank a diet soda or two, eat some trailmaix and so forth.I ate a lot of the steam in the bag vegtables but I never made the soup. I had no problem with hunger and tried not to eat anything after 9pm. I started every morning and ended every night with a serving of protein powder because I was afraid of loosing alot of muscle. I lost about a pound a day with an ending result a week later of 165.4lbs with 9.1% body fat. There is a very noticable difference in my midsection and my pants are fitting looser. I’m not sure how much of the weight is from fat loss and how much is from cleaning out your system(I have heard several times that people walk around with several pounds of undigested meat in their stomach). I am on my second day of week two and even after two days off where I ate normally I weighed 165.0 today. I will try to post again at the end of the second week. I have had several people comment on the change in my midsection and that futher motivates me. Like any weight loss program, I think working out (4 times a week) made a major difference. I will use this in the future for any time I need to cut weight for wrestling. The only drawbacks I’ve had were lack of energy during wrestling practice, I normaly have great stamina and lots of gas. I hope this helps

• 67. Albert  |  November 14th, 2007 at 9:00 pm

  This is the “Cabbage Soup Diet”. Jack Nicholas (the golfer) used it about 20 years ago and lost a lot of weight.
  It worked for me about 10 years ago.
  Caution: Severe Diarrhea starting about day three.

• 68. Emily  |  November 14th, 2007 at 11:24 pm

  i’m going to try this… which is very strange, because i never diet. i’m a vegan, so i’ll have to make adjustments, but i’ll come back and let you know if it had positive effects.

• 69. Chanine  |  November 15th, 2007 at 4:00 am

  This really works. I tried it once before and lost about 5kg in one week. With my diet I had to eat the soup everyday and as many times if I liked. I felt like soup afterwards, but this is really the healthiest diet I’ve ever tried. NOBODY can complain about veggies and fruit.

• 70. Greg  |  November 15th, 2007 at 9:01 am

  Starting day one, today, weighing 249 lbs. I’ll let you know my progress.

• 71. Kathy Baker  |  November 16th, 2007 at 2:45 am

  After my 7 days I took two days off. I had lost two kilos. I had some pizza one night, a donut one morning, otherwise I ate a balanced diet. I started again with my fruit day yesterday and this morning I have now lost a total of three kilos. I’m interested to see how much I weigh tomorrow after my day of veggies!

• 72. mike w  |  November 16th, 2007 at 6:18 pm

  half way through week two. started at 171.2 with 10.2% body fat, today the lowest iv’e been in 2 years, 163.4 with 9.2% body fat. That is about 8lbs and I’m in pretty good shape!

• 73. Kathy Baker  |  November 17th, 2007 at 2:36 am

  Yeah I’m finding through the second week that I’ve now lost a total of about 3.5 kilos. I feel fine. I am not that fond of the all fruit day nor the all veggie day. I sort of miss some meat or bread type products. Normally I don’t eat beef, pork, lamb, etc., only fish, turkey, chicken and miss some of those. Make up for it on the two days between the two weeks, not outrageously but at least have something I really like each day. Felt sort of bummed out last night. Seeing different food on tv etc. made me hungry for something good besides veggies!!! LOL

• 74. Susie  |  November 18th, 2007 at 11:43 am

  OK guys. I need to lose weight worse than anyone I know. I’m intrigued by this whole deal here so I’m gonna’ give it a try. I’m going to the store tomorrow and will start it on Tuesday. Oh sheesh, it’s Thanksgiving week. Hmmm…..ok, will start it next Monday. I enjoy reading your posts, it’s encouraging and I haven’t even started yet. Thanks for sharing. I’ll post again as soon as I start.

• 75. Kathy Baker  |  November 18th, 2007 at 4:59 pm

  Today I thought about it and made a banana smoothie, my style, about a cup of strong black coffee, a cup of skim milk, two bananas and six ice cubes and blended it all. It was super good. Had that twice today. Plus two bowls of the veggie soup. That’s all. Feel fine. Can’t wait though until tomorrow for some MEAT!!!

• 76. admin  |  November 18th, 2007 at 5:22 pm

  Well done Kathy, keep us informed about the progress.

  For everyone else who wish to diet should keep in mind that its not necessary to stay hungry. Always feed your body with the appropriate food recommended on each day.

  Good luck! We all deserve a healthy life!

• 77. Jerome  |  November 18th, 2007 at 11:05 pm

  I’m starting this immediately after Thanksgiving! I have a trip to Mexico coming up and I need to be in better shape for the beach! Please continue to post success as well as challenges. I am finding your feedback, comments, suggestions, and challenges to be very helpful.

  One question/concern — the soup — the salt content in the soup mix is so high! Isn’t that a concern? I don’t want to retain water. And I don’t want to raise my blood pressure!

• 78. Ashlie  |  November 19th, 2007 at 11:07 am

  I’m lactose intollerant.
  Can I drink Lactose-free milk in place of regular milk and still get the same benefits?

• 79. Caterina vecco  |  November 20th, 2007 at 9:45 pm

  Hi, about the vegetables, are dressings allowed, like a vinaigrette or olive oil and vinaigre?

  After being on this diet for two weeks with two days in between I lost four kilos. The first week I didn’t have milk except on the day when I was allowed and it was skim milk. I didn’t have diet drinks but during the second week I couldn’t do this as I like decaf coffee, tea etc. but have to have milk but ALWAYS use skim milk. So I didn’t do away with the milk and I still had my diet sprite if I felt like it. I didn’t eat the bananas whole I made a smoothie with coffee, milk, bananas and ice. It was super. I do not use the Lipton onion soup as I cannot get it. I used some chicken boillon and so it was not that salty. used other herbs as well. Other than that I pretty much followed the diet and still lost the two kilos so I am happy with the total of four kilos lost. Lucky me to have my two days off at Thanksgiving and also tomorrow. On Sat. though I will begin again! The first week I hadn’t realized I could have a spoon of oil each day and during the second week sometimes when I cooked veggies I used my spoon of oil. Another thing I did with my spoon of oil was mix it up with whole asparagus and then baked them in the oven for about 20-30 minutes with some salt, pepper and garlic powder and they were SUPER!!!

• 85. KRISTELL B  |  November 25th, 2007 at 1:47 pm

  I absolutely HATE bananas… what can I use to replace them on day 4???

• 86. KRISTELL B  |  November 25th, 2007 at 1:49 pm

  Also, I don’t drink milk, is orange juice w/ calcium ok instead?

• 87. Lindsay  |  November 25th, 2007 at 10:36 pm

  Me and my mom are going to try this diet starting today. We went to the store and bought all the necessary things.

  Is the soup ONLY for day 4, or can it be eaten any other day of the week?

• 88. Tara  |  November 26th, 2007 at 11:31 am

  I just started this diet today…day one all fruits is so tasty, but I have the craziest gas…it’s hard to keep myself full…also when can you eat the soup? Like someone else said, can you eat it day one or do you have to wait until day four? Also, how much brown rice on day seven? I am so excited to clean out the toxins in my system…just scared for my coworkers when this starts working. hahaha…..

• 89. Tara  |  November 26th, 2007 at 11:33 am

  Oh! And, if you normally work out about twice a week, is it healthy to continue to do so? Also, are there any preferred/optimal days to do this?

• 90. ehill  |  November 27th, 2007 at 12:14 am

  starting tomorrow, i’m planning to lift and/or exercise every day of the diet, will update with results

• 91. Ahmootha  |  November 27th, 2007 at 6:57 am

  This has been great. I am at the end of day one, and frankly i feel good. I did not have trouble keeping my eyes alert after lunch. Eating the melons were good as it keeps your stomach full. I did have problem in taking in much water. I am excited to see the results!

• 92. sara  |  November 27th, 2007 at 8:35 am

  can i go on this diet if i am about to start my period…or if i am trying to conceive?i really want to start this diet asap

• 93. Tara  |  November 27th, 2007 at 8:42 am

  Day two, have so much energy without my normal doses of caffeine. I know you can have a cup of coffee, but I find I’m not needing it! I roasted half of my veggies for today with a spoonfull of oil and a few green herbs…the rest are raw. I had a little chicken broth and carrots last night, I was starving and my boyfriend was eating dinner….I guess I could have chosen worse things to cheat with, hope it doesn’t affect the weight loss or cleansing too bad. I do feel thinner already today, and my family has already noticed a difference. It’s like that skinny feeling you have in the morning, but it doesn’t go away!

• 94. KRISTELL B  |  November 28th, 2007 at 6:35 am

  is admn on vacation??
  I haven’t seen any responses from her since november 9th…
  I am a little frustrated becaus etomorrow will be day 4 for me, and i still don’t know what to do about the fact that i dont eat bananas and i dont drink milk!!!!
  I need to know what to do instead?!

• 95. mike w  |  November 28th, 2007 at 9:11 am

  After completing two weeks and taking about 4 days off for Thanksgiving, I am on day three of week three. I started at 171.4 with 10.2% body fat, today 161.4 with 8.8% body fat. I have continued lifting and wrestling several times a week and i credit my heavy lifting and hour long cardio sessions twice a week for the significant losses I’ve had. I’m finding the diet easy to stick to. I’ve noticed that i’m not eating nearly as much as before the diet and I always eat enough to be full.

• 96. A.P.  |  December 2nd, 2007 at 5:19 pm

  Hi everyone. I am more than half way through my 1st day today and I do have to admit it hasn’t been as easy as I hoped. The fruits are great and surprisingly filling but its just not the same as my normal everyday meals. I am definitely looking forward to veggie day tomorrow, maybe that will be better. I will keep posting my feedback and results as the days go by.

• 97. Kathy Baker  |  December 4th, 2007 at 6:17 am

  I’m on day two of week three with two days off in between. I had seemed to have lost about 5 kilos but then after this past “free” weekend it is more like 4 kilos. Still that is not that bad. About 9-10 lbs. in two and a half weeks. The free days seem to do me in because I want to have things then that I cannot have during the 7 day of dieting, like pasta and pizza. I live in Rome. It’s very hard not to eat pasta and pizza!!!

• 98. sara  |  December 4th, 2007 at 10:22 am

  so on the 4th day when u can have milk…i can have regular tea with milk?…i started my diet today n the only problem i faced was that im a tea drinker n black tea was no good for me so i had a headache all day long…

• 99. sara  |  December 5th, 2007 at 10:34 am

  on day 2…i had steamed n raw vegetables but i also had sweet potato for dinner…i know its high in calories but since its a vegetable i didnt think it would make a difference…but i need to know for sure if it was ok that i had it…

• 100. mia  |  December 7th, 2007 at 11:46 am

  i dn’t eat bananas & i dn’t drink milk…
  is there any substitute for dat?

• 101. Shefali  |  December 7th, 2007 at 11:18 pm

  Hi admin,

  I have been following this prog. for last 6 days with atleast 89% without cheating but have lost on 2 kgs. till date and there is kind of dissapointment since I thought to shed atleast 5 kgs. I want to loose another 8kgs.

  Besides, since this diet is mainly for non-vegetarians therefore, I I think there has been a deficiency of protein in my diet can you please post the Veg Diet so that I can make best use of this prog.

  Earnestly looking forward to your reply.

  Regards.

• 102. A,P.  |  December 10th, 2007 at 1:27 pm

  Hi Everyone. I have finished my first week of the diet on Saturday and i lost 6lbs. Today is my 2nd day off and I will start tomorrow again but with some definite changes. I had some really tough days but i never cheated (just improvised!). On the 6th day I ended up having a chicken salad instead of beef and on day 7 I also had a chicken salad. Will the person who did the tomato soup give me the recipe/instructions on how they did it so i can as well? Thank you! And ill keep posting my results/feedback.

• 103. admin  |  December 12th, 2007 at 9:58 pm

  Shefali: the indianized version contains rice instead of beef, i am a vegan myself and hence i substituted chik peas(chana).

  Goodluck to all those who are on this diet currently.

• 104. sara  |  January 9th, 2008 at 7:54 am

  so can we also have sweet potato or corn on the vegetable days?also is can i have tea with milk on day 4

• 105. Jeevan  |  January 9th, 2008 at 11:00 am

  Dear Admin,

  How are we supposed to cook the beef and if we can’t find the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, is there any substitute?

• 106. lisi  |  January 13th, 2008 at 12:14 am

  hey this diet is great just wondering if dried fruit is ok on day 1 & 3??
  thanks

• 107. jello  |  January 21st, 2008 at 1:34 pm

  hey dose anyone know how to lose weight in 7 days..!?

• 108. Leigh Pensinger  |  March 1st, 2008 at 7:31 am

  wow…ummm….no. the trick to losing weight is to eat all your veggies and get up off your but. just eating soup and whatnot IS NOT a healthy option. eat some salad with chicken and do some sit ups……stop following fad diets they only slow your metabolism in the long run. they are not good for you. and by the way…

  YOU ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL RIGHT NOW….THE WAY YOU ARE!!!!!!

• 109. ruuchama  |  March 12th, 2008 at 3:49 am

• 114. ala Seyam  |  April 7th, 2008 at 6:53 am

  Just to check, is the soup for the fourth day only, or all 7 dayes

• 115. admin  |  April 8th, 2008 at 7:43 am

  yeah i had tried white rice myself and it worked fine for me. Yes, the soup could be consumed on all days. You can also include this soup with your regular diet.

• 116. mike w  |  April 8th, 2008 at 9:43 am

  I first did this diet a few months and use it as a tune up if i put on a pound or two. this diet causes weight loss by cleaning out the undigested food in your intestants. I have had the best results when using this with 20 minutes of cardio, 5 times a week. I weighed 155.2 this morning. that is down about 10lbs from last week. For the record, I have not weighed 155 since I was in middle school over 10 years ago

• 117. mike w  |  April 9th, 2008 at 8:10 am

  follow up to Nov13th post. I have been doing this diet on and off and I wanted to post some more specific results. As you can see in my Nov 13th post, I started this plan with a weight of 171.4 with 10.2% body fat, a week later i was at 165.4lbs with 9.1% body fat. I mostly ate healthy since then but far from perfict. my weight fluctuated a bit but I was off the diet for a while. I am 3/4 way through week number 2 and have really stuck to the plan. I have avoided diet soda, snacks but have had the occasional protein suppliment. I have ran for 20 mins a day for 5 times a week. this morning was amazing results compaired to when I started-155.0lbs with 7.6% bodyfat. I have reduced my body fat by a third while droping 16 lbs. The keys are dont eat late at night, follow the diet, DO THE CARDIO and dont give up

• 118. chickpea  |  May 19th, 2008 at 10:52 am

  i’m bored don’t try these things i know alot about diet, but it will be a fun challenge so starting tomorrow. today i ate over 7000 calories (haven’t done that in a long time) no joke i’m an emotional eater. although lucky because not overweight i am usually a healthy eater my BMI even says i’m underweight, lol. i’ll keep you posted.
  any other emotional eaters?

• 119. Lilly  |  June 26th, 2008 at 10:26 am

  I am on day 4 and so far I have lost 4 lbs. I am really excited and can’t wait to see how much more I will lose in the 3 days to follow.

• 120. louise  |  July 19th, 2008 at 2:34 pm

  Thanks for sharing

• 123. Janvier  |  December 4th, 2008 at 6:15 am

  admin. I don’t know if you still check this sight but there is someone in desperate need of your advice. im starting this diet in a few hours and had some questions.
  1. can I use a clenser with thiis diet ie.; magnesium citrate or a salt water flush?
  2. can I use dietary suppliments ie, diet pills, vitamins, etc.
  3. when is the best time to start drinking soup?

  turning 30 and trying 2 loose 30!
  thanx!

• 124. admin  |  December 8th, 2008 at 3:14 am

  hi Janvier,

  you can consume the soup anytime you want during the program. it would be best to consult a dietician or a medical practitioner to seek advice on the cleansers and the dietary supplements. The program,however, doesnt require any additional nutrients.

  hope this might help you. good luck with the program and do let us know the results….

• 125. Chantix  |  December 16th, 2008 at 3:43 pm

  if this works i am definitely going on this diet.
