Day Twenty Three

I am still feeling bloated so will get myself some Andrews I think it is called for constipation! Or Milk of Magnesia, but I remember that being chalky and disgusting when I was younger!!! I never had problems going last time I did this diet, its just meat and veg! Surely all that veg would help me 'go?!'




6.30am Breakfast 
Natural yoghurt with mixed nuts and linseeds along with a mug of Green Tea.

Think I'll do the Wii Fitness Coach tonight, the cardio section to try and burn some flubber...

8.30am Pot of Green Tea

11am Snack
Granny Smith apple.


I think I'll have mostly salads for lunch and dinner for the rest of the week to try and actually lose some weight for next week! lol I'm off to Portsmouth tomorrow and won't feel like cooking after getting in at 19.30pm and then doing my exercises!

11.50am Pot of Green Tea

12.30pm Lunch
A gooood salad today!! :) Brie, Ham, red pepper, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, spring onion, a small piece of celery with primula cheese (yum!) and some French dressing. Lots of flavours in my salad today!

Tuesday's Lunch :)


I have just been reading up on the Cabbage Detox Diet that my friend Smithy recommended, he explained it as basically cabbage water for 7 days, but after looking it up, you can have more than just cabbage water!!! lol As I have been getting constipated, I am considering trying this diet for 7 days and then going back onto the Low Carb diet, just to completely cleanse my body!


7 day Cabbage Soup Diet or Sacred Heart Diet 

The recipe varies slightly, but basically includes a variety of low-calorie vegetables such as cabbage, onions and tomatoes, flavoured with bouillon, onion soup mix and tomato juice. Each day of the seven-day program has specific foods that must be eaten, including potatoes, fruit juice, many vegetables, and on one day, beef for best results take all your ingredients and bring them to a low boil for at the minimum ten minutes for all of the cabbage and tomatoes to join together. Make sure you chop up all the cabbage, onions, greens, carrots and other veggies you use in very small pieces. You can also try roasting the vegetables in the broiler first and then bring them to the soup for a smoked flavor.
 
Instructions:

Eat as much cabbage soup as you desire for seven days and you can lose 10 to 15 pounds. The recipe
varies slightly, but basically includes a variety of low-calorie vegetables such as cabbage, onions and tomatoes, flavored with bouillon, onion soup mix and tomato juice. I use 6 large orgainic Green Onions, 2 organic Green Peppers, 2 Cans of fire roasted diced organic tomatoes, 8 baby organic carots chopped, 1 bunch of organic celery, 1 head of organic cabbage chopped up really good, 1 large can of Organic Vegtable Broth, 1 packet of Lipton’s onion soup mix, 1 container of Mushrooms, A little Sea Salt and Pepper, a pinch of Dill Weed and a Can of V8 vegtable juice.

Each day of the seven-day program has specific foods that must be eaten, including potatoes, fruit juice, many vegetables, and on one day, beef.

 
Day One:


 Eat only fruit, all the fruit you want except banana.
Drink unsweetened tea, black coffee, cranberry juice and water.
Eat as much soup as you like.


Day Two:


 All you want - fresh, raw or cooked vegetables of your choice.
Stay away from dry beans, peas and sweet corn.
Reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter for dinner.
Eat as much soup as you like, but no fruit for today.


Day Three:


Combine days one and two, eat as much fruit, vegetables and soup as you like but no baked potato.

Day Four:


Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup.
This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.


Day Five:
 


You may have 10-20 ounces of beef (300-500g) and a large tin or up to six fresh tomatoes.
Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body.
Eat your soup at least once today.
You may eat broiled or baked chicken (skinless) instead of beef. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled
fish for the beef.


Day Six:


 Eat beef and vegetables today.
You can even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with fresh vegetables or salad.
NO BAKED POTATO.
Eat your soup at least once.


Day Seven:


Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables all you want.
Be sure to eat your soup at least once to day.
 

* Please remember not to eat any bread, alcohol, or carbonated beverages - not even diet soda
After any of these diets you should lose a lot of weight be sure to take your vitamins and minerals and drink
plenty of water and get a full nights sleep.  


DURING ANY DIET REMEMBER TO TAKE FIBER SUPPLEMENTS OR A DAILY DETOX TO PUSH ALL OF THE IMPURITIES OUT OF THE BODY WHILE DIETING!!
 
Remember that when losing weight rapidly… Like this diet does, can be hard to keep the weight off once you go back to your regular daily habits. How do you prevent that from happening? Don’t go back to your regular daily habits, change them. Make this the start of a new you!! Taking control of your life and body!


Cabbage Soup Recipe
  • 6 large green onions
  • 2 green peppers
  • 1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole)
  • 3 Carrots
  • 1 Container (10 oz. or so) Mushrooms
  • 1 bunch of celery
  • half a head of cabbage
  • 1 package Lipton soup mix
  • 1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional)
  • 1 48oz can V8 juice (optional)
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc.
Directions:
Slice green onions, put in a pot and start to saute with cooking spray.

Cut green pepper stem end off and cut in half, take the seeds and membrane out. Cut the green-pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot. 

Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.

Clean carrots, cut into bite size pieces, and add to pot. 

Slice mushrooms into thick slices, add to pot.

If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.

You can use beef or chicken bouillon cubes for seasonings. These have all the salt and flavors you will need. 

Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook for a long time - two hours works well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

I can use my blender that I was brought for Xmas for this recipe :)


So, I finished work and popped to the supermarket to get some form of 'relief'. I grabbed some cranberry juice and some Senokot. Some easy tablets to take rather than the suggestions I had earlier!!! :P


To help things 'move'


Then I only did 15 minutes on my Wii Fitness Coach as my stomach is hurting a bit.


18.00pm Dinner
Chicken salad. Cucumber, lettuce, tomato, spring onion, some danish blue cheese with a glass of cranberry juice.


Chicken Salad Dinner
18.45pm Mug of Green Tea.
