Hey everyone! I found the following 7-Day Cleansing Diet in my recipe box, and I've had it forever (about 35 years). It sounds a bit weird, but I followed this diet before, and it worked pretty well. Check with your doctor first, and then you can try it if you want. I might try it again, and see how it goes. I loved the T-J Miracle Soup! Yummy... You can just have the soup if you want, and don't worry about the rest of the diet. Take care, Laura
SEVEN-DAY CLEANSING DIET--From the Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, Washington for overweight heart patients:
This 7-day diet plan can be used as often as you like, but I would suggest possibly only doing it once a month, at the most. As a matter of fact, if followed correctly, it will clean your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being you never thought possible. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter because you will be lighter by at least 10 pounds, possibly as much as 17 pounds, and you will have an abundance of energy, as well. (I don't know if this much weight loss is really possible or if it would even be good for us to lose it this quickly; but, maybe it's because it's a "cleansing" diet. I think we do hold a lot of weight in our intestines... Yuck! I guess that's why we do cleansing diets, right???) Continue this plan for as long as you wish and feel the difference in both medical and physical disposition.
T-J MIRACLE SOUP (You eat this soup as much as you want along with the other foods for each day.):
6 large onions,
2 green peppers,
4 whole tomatoes (fresh or canned),
1 head of cabbage,
1 large stalk of celery.
Season with dry onion soup mix. Cut vegetables and cover with water in a large pot. Boil for 10 minutes, cover, lower heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender. T-J Miracle Soup can be eaten at any time when you feel hungry. East as much as you wish and as often as you like. This soup will not add calories, so eat all you want. The more you eat, the more you lose... Enjoy! Yum, yum...
FIRST DAY--ALL THE FRUITS EXCEPT BANANAS:
Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want except bananas. For all you melon lovers, this is the day for you. Two fruits which are lower in calories than most other fruits are watermelon and cantelope. Should you eat the melon, your chances of losing 3 pounds in the first day are great. You may also have T-J Miracle Soup today.
SECOND DAY--ALL THE VEGETABLES:
Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh (raw, steamed, or cooked) vegetables of your choice. Try to eat green, leafy vegetables, and stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. These vegetables are good for you, but not now as you are trying to reduce your calorie intake. You may also have a large baked potato and T-J Miracle Soup today.
THIRD DAY--FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:
Same as day one and day two including the T-J Miracle Soup, except for no potato.
FOURTH DAY--BANANAS:
Eat as many as 8 bananas and drink as much as 8 glasses of skim milk on this day, along with T-J Miracle Soup. Bananas and skim milk blended together in a blender is very good way to enjoy this day. Bananas are high in carbohydrates and will lessen any cravings for sweets.
FIFTH DAY--BEEF AND VEGETABLES:
You can have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and six tomatoes on your fifth day. Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water in order to wash away any uric acid in your body. You may also have T-J Miracle Soup today.
SIXTH DAY--BEEF AND VEGETABLES:
Eat until your heart is content with beef, vegetables, and T-J Miracle Soup. No potato.
SEVENTH DAY--BROWN RICE, FRUIT, AND VEGETABLES:
Enjoy brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice, vegetables, T-J Soup.
The soup is great low calorie recipe. I do NOT agree with the rest of the 7 day diet AT ALL! It is important to HAVE A WELL BALANCED DIET TO ACHIEVE WEIGHT LOSS & A HEALTHIER OVERALL LIFESTYLE.
I worked at Sacred Heart Medical Center years ago! I don't recall ever seeing this while I worked there?!? I am not saying that this is did not from that source you mentioned that it came from Sacred Heart Medical Center, Spokane, Washington. I just saying I have not seen it personally myself! They do have an outstanding Heart Insititute!
My daughter was born at that hospital.
Thanks for the Soup recipe!
Bump this to save for later!

Poster: I'm going to starve myself to jump start my metabolism and drop 8 lbs quickly!
Smart person: Starving yourself doesn't boost metabolism and the weight you lose is water and will come right back on.
Poster: OK, I'm going to do it anyway!
You just can't fix stupid. OR people who are so desperate they just don't care or listen...0 -

I have a folder full of diets. Some of them were my moms from????? The 3 day is and always will be my favorite although I've never been able to bring myself to do it back to back..always drop 5lbs and never gain it right back...its sooo simple I've had this diet for almost 30 years I think I was 10 the first time I did it (Isn't that sick) with my parents before going on a cruise.
me too. :blushing:0 -
I tried this diet and it really works. lost 12 pds. then used my fitness calulator to log food after the 7 days and lost 20 pds in a month. after holidays I have only gained 4 back so this is a good cleansing diet to start be for you try other diets. I going back on it this january. Wish me luck!!0

I am on day 6 of this diet, and I have lost 6 lbs already. I honestly think this was the easiest "fad" diet I've ever done. The only day I struggled with was the banana and milk day (and I drank unsweetened vanilla almond milk too). I have had no stomach issues AT ALL which really, really surprised me b/c I was expecting at least a little bit of it because of the soup alone! I eat a lot of fruits & veggies any way so that probably helped. While I've been on this diet I have also been logging all of my calories, and I can honestly say that I have eaten enough to come very, very close to my 1,200 calorie goal almost every single day...like maybe off by 50 cals or lower? Yes, there have been days where I have been a couple hundred calories under but whenever I noticed that was the case, I'd eat a handful or two of almonds to add some protein as well as bump up my calorie intake. I'd like to also add that I have been sick with mono for the past two months (hence the reason why my calorie count is so low. I can't exercise right now), and I have felt better today than I have in several weeks!!!! After this diet, I fully intend to stick with eating as clean as possible and counting calories as I have been for the past several weeks to watch the lbs continue to melt away. So happy for this jump start, and I highly suggest trying this out for at least a couple of days! Oh! I also added corn, green beans, and tons of spices to give the soup more flavor too.0
