I made the Antioxidant weight-loss soup and it tastes really good. I was surprised to see it was in the MFP data base (160 calories per cup). I was thinking about ordering the O2 Diet Book. Have any of you followed this diet? It suppose to give you energy, burn fat, and relieve stress. Thanks in advance for any comments.
