There are some types of diet which are considered a kind of miracle, because they make us lose weight in a very short time. These nutritional plans are usually designed for a specific period of time and are ideal when we need to lose weight quickly for a specific occasion. Today we bring with us all the information about a very popular nutritional plan, which is commonly known as “the soup diet”.
The first thing we should know about this plan is that it lasts a week, the reason why it is not recommended to extend it any longer. This diet consists in centering the feeding in a hypocaloric soup, that is to say that it is low in fats and calories. With this form of feeding the expectation of weight loss varies between 3 and 8Kg, because it is a very strong and restrictive diet.
The “fat burning” soup contains tomatoes, onions, cabbage, green paprika, celery, salt and pepper. During the first three days the only foods allowed are soup, coffee or tea without sugar and a piece of fruit. Plantains or bananas and free-lactose milk can be added since the fourth day. On the fifth day, chicken or veal is added as a protein, in addition to the foods previously allowed, and in the sixth and seventh ones whole vegetables, meat or brown rice can be added.
As we observed, it is a progressive diet and it is very important to follow the indications to the letter and only consume the allowed foods, because otherwise there could be adverse situations in our stomach that could trigger indigestion.
One of the most important recommendations for the success of this nutritional plan is not to make all the soup at once and freeze it or keep it for the whole week, since with the passing of days its flavor will deteriorate and that will make us want to defect from the purpose. For this reason, it is recommended to divide the ingredients for the preparation of the soup, in six portions and to make the same daily, In this way it will always be fresh and its flavor will be optimal.
It is appropriate to mention that to guarantee the success of the plan and not to degrade our health, it is advisable consult with a doctor and get advice before carrying out this diet. People with diabetes, ulcers and any other relevant medical condition, should not carry out this plan as they could significantly affect their health and even put their lives at risk.
