You can eat as much detox soup as you want — for breakfast, lunch or dinner too. For a healthy cleanse with a safe weight loss, replace at least one meal per day with it. You can eat the soup on this basis for a short 3-day cleanse, for a week-long light cleanse, or for 10 to 14 days for a good weight loss cleanse. Make sure the other two meals on those days consist mainly of healthy foods like fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, unbleached pasta or rice, eggs or egg whites, and broiled or baked lean meats or seafood only. No fried foods, please!
Into a large stock pot, add the following ingredients:
4 quarts filtered or spring water (substitute can of chicken broth for more flavor, which may lessen weight loss detox effect)
1 sm/med head of cabbage, sliced into thin strips
1/2 lb. string beans
2 med-large green peppers, chopped
2 15-oz cans whole or diced tomatoes
3 or 4 chopped carrots
3 or 4 chopped celery stalks
1 large onion, sliced or chopped up
1. Add cabbage to water, bring to boil and then simmer for one hour.
2. Add string beans, carrots, celery and onions; simmer for one-half hour.
3. Add tomatoes and pepper; simmer for another half-hour.
DO NOT ADD SALT or any seasonings. The soup will probably taste bland but it is filling. It has a negative calorie effect and promotes both fat burning and cellular cleansing. Enjoy!
