7-Day Cleansing Diet & Miracle Soup Recipe

DR gave me permission to do this, but only a few times a year, so I get off a plateau or lose about 5-8lbs and re-start my metabolism!

If your Dr. used the words "re-start metabolism" in any context other than "You cannot re-start your metabolism", then you must be seeing Dr. Oz?

This detox and others are very bad and make no sense.
Why are you detoxing?
What are you detoxing?

The first day your bombarding yourself with sugar. Any bad gut bacteria are getting the feed of their lives.

Second day you've had no protein for 48hrs. It says stuff yourself??? though you were trying to detox, learn good eating habits.

Third day still no protein. You know that you need protein right? Amongst other things proteins are enzymes which are used for metabolic functions, digestion...

Fourth day....i really don't understand this. Did the person making this up just throw this plan randomly together? You know your probably getting very little to no fat as well? Do i need to say how important fat is?

Im stopping here, this is ridiculous.

Rather than eat poorly so you need to detox, how about eating better all the time.

As dangerous as this diet is...it does work lol, my mother and I have used it occasionally for over 10 years now. My mother has lost over 30LB's last year on it and has still kept it off, i've lost 10 and kept it off, i never stick to the soup cause it tastes totally awful, i don't recommend anyone stays on it longer then 7 days BUT i have done it for 14 before going on vacation lol.

As a nurse, I hate seeing these diets in use. The whole idea of cleansing is based on false assumptions. If you are eating right, including plenty of soluble and insoluble fiber, there is nothing to "cleanse" because you are evacuating wastes in an appropriate manner. These diets encourage a state of near starvation and for some people they cause dehydration, persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, and of course, weight loss. Unfortunately, the weight that is lost is mostly water weight and bowel contents, both of which will come back once you begin eating normally again. The only reason most doctors give approval for them is because most people won't stick to them for more than a couple of days, so there aren't many risks.
The soup itself is fine. If you want to use the soup as a low calorie filler between meals or at the end of the day, great. If you want to go on a few days of vegan eating along with, that's fine too, just DO eat the beans and nuts that are required to keep some protein in your system so your body doesn't start breaking down muscle tissue, and some whole grains for the B vitamins and to make complete proteins from some of the vegetable sources.
Please, just eat right and exercise. Don't try risky fad diets or diet supplements.
