Soup Diet – Best 7 Day Diet Plan

Generally the nutrients in vegetables are lost while cooking. The stock contains nutrients which is discarded and the zero nutrient vegetable is had. This only adds on to the body fat.

The best way to get all the nutrients from vegetables is by making a soup out of the stock and drinking that all through the day (for meals and snacks).

Any boiled vegetable water can be converted into soup by adding a few low fat vegetables, some black salt and pepper. (salt is also optional)

1. For Proteins – The dal soup (boiled toor dal, or sprouts, soy beans) is prepared by straining the dal and the stock is relished with pepper, chopped coriander, lemon juice, cumin seeds and pinch of salt. Lemon reduces body fat, spices and herbs help in digestion. Even chicken or fish broth can be replaced with sprouts.

2. Vitamin Soup Diet – To obtain the vitamins, prepare carrot soup, cabbage soup, radish soup and leafy vegetable soup (such as spinach and lettuce). These soups don't even require spices and can be relished hot. Preferring vitamin soup for snack time and dinner will burn fat gradually and help you lose weight.

3. For Fiber & Good Carbs – Brown rice or mashed sweet potato soup will provide you sufficient carbs for your body and also fasten the digestion process (fiber).

4. Spices And Herb Combination – Whenever you feel heavy or stressed. Boil water with peppercorn, cumins, 1 tsp clarified butter, tamarind juice, piece of cardamom, coriander seeds, chopped coriander leaves/ mint leaves/ dill leaves, chopped onion, grated ginger and a teaspoon sugar. The soup recipe is a fat burning diet and help lose fat quickly. The recipe also cures difficulty in breathing and constipation problems.

5. Certain vitamin C and antioxidant rich fruits (sour fruits like green mango, gooseberries, tamarind) can be boiled and relished with little black salt/ jaggery/ honey.

Soup diet is by far the quick weight loss diet as one will always be on liquids without compromising tasty foods. The entire week will cover all the vital vitamins and minerals required for a healthy metabolism, taste good to taste buds as well as aid weight loss.
