Came across this last night and wanted to share, for feedback and opinions…
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.
I like the sound of this so I'm thinking of giving it a try; it sounds pretty healthy to me...
Any thoughts…?
Thanks peeps xoxox :flowerforyou:

Ive done this diet in 2003 and lost 5 kg in a week (thats about 10 pounds or slightly more) ofcourse I used to exercise as well.0
-
I never have, but think I want to try it!0
-
I've always liked the idea of doing a cleanse, but not sure if I yet have the willpower to stick to it! Just vegetables for a day
yuck! But the fruits would be no problem, haha.
I could try a 3 day cleanse of just eating fruits and veggies, incorporating the veg in smoothies?0 -

Sounds very interesting!0

I have used this quick fix a few times before a special occasion, it does work.....but as soon as you stop the weight comes back on! although maybe if you do it for a week and eat healthy and exercise the other 3 weeks then start again it may be successful!
Beware! you will really get sick of the soup!0 -
i did this and it was HARD AS HELL! only bc i got sick of the fruit and veggies only and i got light headed the 2nd day. BUT i lost 3-4 pounds that week, so it was potential, but becareful not to make yourself sick and if you have to eat a piece of card or bread, just do it bc your health is more important!@!0

bump because i want to try it.0

For those who've tried this, do you keep the weigjt off after or do you gain it back??0

I've done it, but don't recommend it unless you have an event or something and you need to squeeze into that dress. I used to do it every 6 months or so, and would lose 7-10 pounds each time. BUT, obviously I gained the weight back, and I also did not feel very good the first 3 days. The best thing about it is that it will wean you from a sugar/carb addiction, so if you're going to do it, I suggest you don't go back to eating sugars and refined carbs when you're finished because that is the only long-term benefit I can see from it. Good luck!0

By what people have said so far, you do put the weight back on after you've finished the 7 days - still, I like the idea of the detoxifying benefits of this.For those who've tried this, do you keep the weigjt off after or do you gain it back??0 -
u will gain back the weight, if u go back to ur old eating habbits (junk, more than calorie needs, emotional eating etc) otherwise u can keep it off... coz I kept off those pounds I lost for more than a year.....after that I got pregnant... so gained weight....0

I am not sure about detox benefits....A cleanse should typically clean out your system so that would mean no sugars including fruit, no real carbs. Veg and meat. If you are doing a cleanse would you not want to clean out bacteria etc too? Just wondering...Everything I have read states bacteria thrives on fruit and sugar...Just a thought.0 -
Your body cleanses itself. You don't need this.0

geez I dug up a goodie eh! haha
starting this on Sunday - will take next sunday off (cuz I'm at a wedding! lol) then will do it again for 1 more week - just doing it while I'm 'out' of Cardio cuz I broke my big toe two weeks ago and have already put on weight from lack of running ... need a jump start0 -
ps. my 'Event' is a Budoir Photoshoot for hubby! making him a 2012 calendar!0
-
I may have to check this out. It does not seem all that hardcore but I sure believe you would get sick of the soup...0
