I finally found the recipe I was looking to post on Friday; sorry for the delay. In a way, it was worth it though. It really gave me time to review this gem, and come to the realization that this may be the single most important nutrition plan I could post for a great many of my readers.
This nutrition plan actually comes from the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, and is given to heart patients prior to risky surgeries. It helps get their bodies into shape, as well as losing potentially dangerous weight before they go under the knife.
So please, of all the recipes I post, understand how very life changing this particular plan can be for you. It’s so important, in fact, that I have even attached a PDF version HERE for you to download and print.
I started this plan anew today. I challenge every single of you to give it a try as well. You’ll be amazed how well it works, and how good you look and feel.

DAY 1:
- Any fruit (except banana). Cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most other fruits.
- Eat only soup and fruits today.
DAY 2:
- All vegetables.
- Eat until you are stuffed with fresh, raw, steamed or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas, or corn.
- Eat veggies along with the soup.
- At dinner time tonight reward yourself with a big baked potato and real butter. Don’t eat any fruits today.
DAY 3:
- Eat all the soup, fruits and veggies you want.
- Do not have a baked potato.
- If you have eaten as above for three days and not cheated, you should find that you have lost 5-7 pounds.
DAY 4:
- Bananas and skim milk.
- Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup.
DAY 5:
- Beef and tomatoes: you may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes, or as many as 6 tomatoes on this day.
- Eat the soup at least once today.
DAY 6:
- Beef and veggies, eat to your heart’s content of the beef and veggies today. You can even have 2 – 3 steaks if you like with green leafy veggies but no baked potato.
- Be sure to eat the soup at least once today.
DAY 7:
- Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies.
- Be sure to stuff yourself and drink the soup.
- You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish.
By the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on this nutrition plan, you should have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the nutrition plan for two days before resuming the plan again.
This nutrition plan results in rapid, safe weight loss.
The secret lies within the principle that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being.
This nutrition plan does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time.
Because of the fat build up in your system, go off the nutrition plan at least 14 hours before any intake of alcohol.
After being on the nutrition plan for several days, you will find that your bowel movements have changed. Eat a cup of bran or fibre.
The soup can eaten any time you feel hungry during the seven days. Eat as much as you wish. Remember the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled, boiled, steamed or baked chicken instead of the beef. Absolutely no skin on the chicken. If you prefer, you can substitute steamed fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef for
the other days.
Continue on the nutrition plan as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically.
DO NOT – DO NOT:
- No bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks
- Fried foods
DO – DO – DO:
- Drink 6 – 8 glasses of water a day
- Any drinks from the drink list
