A personalized Fat Flush to target your stubborn fat stores.
A “new and improved” Fat Flush Soup is back— right in time for the 2012 weight loss season! The mouth-watering recipe— with four delicious variations— is featured in the January 23, 2012 First for Women magazine. The soup and the research behind it is the cover story for the new year, with stunning before and after pictures of Fat Flushers Cindy Davis and daughter Nikole Howell who lost a combined 105 pounds on fat flushing foods and healing soups!
The revamped recipe contains hearty and warming veggies, beans, and lean protein with spices like cumin, cayenne, cilantro and fresh garlic to seriously boost flavor appeal and enhance cleansing power. Really perfect for January weather.
Many of you will remember the original recipe – which initially debuted as The Fat Flush Soup in another popular woman’s magazine. While it is still a wonderful meal in a bowl – with even more colorful and antioxidant rich vegetables like tri-colored peppers and rich yellow squash – the new basic slimming soup recipe was tweaked and tested in our Fat Flush kitchen to obtain a more consistent yield and a vegetarian option.
The basic recipe still calls for lean ground protein like beef, turkey, or chicken. (Of course the protein you consume must be healthy – organic if possible – and not pumped up with hormones or antibiotics.) Critical to both phases of liver detox, this star performer is equated with beauty since our skin, hair, and nails are 98% protein. Protein helps make the powerhouse antioxidant glutathione; creates vital enzyme to zap toxins, and maintains energy levels. Protein is essential for weight loss because it can produce the pancreatic hormone known as glucagon which accesses stored body fat for energy. And since the body can’t store protein, it is so very essential that we get the right amount daily (at least 20 grams per meal) – which is what the soup provides! Having low protein levels increases our desire for carbs (like sugar) which contribute to a rise in insulin – the fat promoting hormone.
The filling, high fiber beans – either pinto, garbanzo, or black – contain anywhere from about 10-20 grams of fiber per serving which will help regulate blood sugar and sweep toxins out of the system by fulfilling the 35 fiber grams per day dietary recommendation.
But the basic soup recipe goes on to the next level by individualizing weight loss and recommending very special ingredient “add-ins” that address the top four weight gain triggers most commonly experienced by frustrated dieters: a sluggish thyroid, burned out adrenals, a toxic liver, and yeast overload.
While I can’t “scoop the soup” recipe, since the magazine is still on the stands, I can tell you more about these diet types which are characterized by the four “hidden” weight gain factors and what you can do to assure complete weight loss success while you sip your soup:
1) The Thyroid Type. If you are depressed, tired, and blue, the thyroid-revving soup may be the ideal recipe to kick off weight loss for the new year. It contains a special iodine-containing ingredient designed to rev up this tired metabolic driver which can become depleted due to fluoride and chlorine in the water supply. The thyroid gland is the key to metabolism and may be the underlying cause behind low libido, constipation, thinning hair, cold extremities, and bone dry skin. If you are taking traditional blood tests, note that the TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) must be less than 3.5 to be considered “normal” by the American College of Endocrinology. To support the thyroid gland without taking hormones, Thytrophin from Standard Process has been used for over fifty years. Three tablets equate to 1 grain of Armour Thyroid which many individuals cannot tolerate due to an allergic response to the proteins in this desiccated thyroid product. To successfully convert into the active thyroid hormone (T4 to T3), the body needs sufficient iodine, zinc, selenium, and progesterone.
2) The Adrenal Type. Anxiety, dark circles under the eyes, dizziness upon standing, low blood pressure and difficulty either falling or staying asleep are keynotes of this type. The adrenal-healing soup is a good entrée (pun intended) into the world of adrenal balancing. My favorite supplement for underactive adrenals is the Adrenal Formula – which I personally have taken for years to rebuild and support optimal function at 7 am, 11 am, and 3 pm. It contains both the adrenal cortex and medulla for optimum strengthening. Sufficient potassium (in squash, tomatoes, berries, and cherries) is also a “must” for balancing cortisol – the hormone that the adrenals secrete when under stress which is the notorious belly fat promoter.
3) The Liver Type. If you are environmentally sensitive and regularly consume over the counter meds like acetaminophen then your liver may need some TLC. The liver is the body’s main filter for toxic wastes. Keeping it clean and well nourished is as important as taking a daily multiple. That’s why I created the liver-nourishing soup and formulated Liver Lovin’ Formula – with its purifying chlorophyll and daily dose of 500 mg. of taurine, the most important amino acid needed by the liver for the elimination of toxic chemicals and removal of drugs and their metabolites. It is a key ingredient of the bile acids produced by the liver which detoxify environmental contaminants.
4) The Yeast Type – Brain fog, sugar cravings, sinus problems and rashes are all too common symptoms of the fungus among us. To nix yeast, savor the yeast-killing soup and supplement once a day with the homeopathic Y-C Cleanse which neutralizes the yeast based upon the homeopathic law of similars. I also recommend one Moly-Cu tablet which contains 100 mg of the mineral molybdenum, one of the most helpful nutritional weapons we have to rid the body of aldehydes, the noxious byproduct of Candida that clouds the mind and muddles our thinking.
If you are ready for a fresh start, but not sure how to begin, then my specialty soups and tailored supplements may be just what you need. It’s so easy because the soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen ahead.
Soup’s on— again— at my house. How about yours?

so where can I find the recipe?
same question…where is the recipe?
I would like to know where I can get this recipe. Is it different than than the one you published in First magazine?
Where is the recipe is what everyone is asking
Wher is the receipe
“While I can’t “scoop the soup” recipe, since the magazine is still on the stands, I can tell you more about these diet types which are characterized by the four “hidden” weight gain factors and what you can do to assure complete weight loss success while you sip your soup”
This statement in the blog above is why there is no recipe here. You have to buy the magazine. Further, if you read the article you can play with Ann Louise’s cluse as to what goes in the soup. You can make it to your tase adn it should come out beautifully.
🙂
Currently, the soup recipe is in the pages of the January 23, 2012 First for Women magazine. From what I understand, while that magazine is on display, Dr. Ann Louise is bound by agreement to not publish it on her web site. However, I’m assuming that in a short period of time after the magazine is no longer on the news stand, she can then put the recipe on here. Since I’m the type that can’t wait—and I love to read women’s magazines with health articles–I’ll be going out to buy it, as well as the ingredients to make the new and improved soup! (I absolutely LOVED the original Fat Flush Soup.)
Looking for the recipe and the ‘”tweaks” to the recipe. Where can I find this info?
Just saw posts that we must buy the magazine for the recipe(s)
After suffering from adrenal fatigue for 3 years, I have tried many, many supplements. All of them amped up my exhausted adrenals so much that I would crash and end up in bed for days all over again. These products made my adrenals pound and pound. I must have $300 of unused supplements in my cabinet.
I would like to try Unikey’s formula but fear that it too will be too much for me. Has anyone ever experienced that? Should I start off slow? Maybe with one a day? As with most adrenal patients, my worst part of the day is before noon. Should I take one at 7 am to see if that helps? Is it taken on a empty belly or a full one?
Thanks!
Thanks, Ladies for your understanding. We want to support First for Women as much as we can because so many of you found Dr. ALG’s work there in the first place!
Susan — One adrenal twice per day would be the recommended amount for starting to support adrenal function. Start with one (in the early AM) and proceed slowly to another at about 3 pm.
Good luck, everybody!
I am going out this issue of First for Women today. I love that publication.
Thanks and Happy fat free New Year!! 🙂
Sorry, that was bad..I meant to say, that I am going out to buy First for Women, today. ;0
My daughter bought the latest First for Women magazine this past weekend and made the recipe. I am eating this soup now for lunch and it is ABSOLUTELY delicious. Thank you Dr. Ann Louise.
Im excited to try the new versions! Yea and thank you Dr Ann Louise! 🙂
Can you get this First for Women Magazine in Taranaki New Zealand?
Funny I was reading this article while eating the original Fat Flush Soup. I made a big pot yesterday and froze some. I love the soup and it great to bring for lunch. Looking forward to the new verision.
https://annlouiseprod.wpengine.com/blog/2011/10/04/my-famous-fat-flush-soup-recipe/
This is the link to the recipe.
What are the veggies specific to the Yeast-type?
im a vegetarian wha can i use in place of meat to make the soup?
It doesn’t state in article but how long do you stay on diet and is it safe to do if no thyroid, I havent been able in the past to do a cleansing because it deplets my synthroid..The soup is yummy…
Ann and Susan: Your answers can easily be found in the magazine itself. Thanks for your understanding that we cannot reproduce the info until the magazine is no longer available for sale.
April: The soup is a “safe detox” for a good week and certainly will not deplete the thyroid because it contains sufficient protein Do “tweak” with the thyroid-revving ingredient!
I found the recipe by typing “recipe” in the search bar.
Why publish an article about a soup recipe with no recipe … to sell supplements and magazines that’s why.
Saw this in the magazine and made it last night. Absolutely delicious! And, it’s pretty much my mom’s chili with squash and cumin added in. I think it’s a great soup, even if you aren’t trying to diet or “think healthy.” What is the magazine, two bucks? It’s worth the price, and I thought the sidebars on yeast and . . . added tumeric were also very useful. I’m not sure if I’m ready to make this soup my “one and only” for two weeks, but I do think it’ll be a healthy addition, and I’m going to also try more Japanese-inspired dishes.
To mish-mosh things a little, I am definitely going to try a grated daikon salad with wakame seaweed on top, flavored by some lemon-juice (or yuzu juice if I can find it) tonight. This wasn’t a recipe in the magazine, but inspired by the article.
I always enjoy your work in the magazine, and I hope you’ll continue to have a good relationship with them.
Can you tell me please, what stores carry the “First for Women” magazine?
walmart, hannaford, probably rite aid…Im sure most places carry it. But I know walmart does. I have tried the first fat flush soup and its delish! I cant wait to try the new and improved version!!!
Bought the magazine yesterday – I buy it every month. Its by far the best womans magazine out there in my oppinion. Read about this soup, and am excited to go shopping today for it. Sounds delicious !
This soup is very tasty. I “tweaked” it a little to make it more organic. The article calls for a can of black beans. I boiled a bag of black beans and added them into the soup instead of using canned beans. And instead of a can of crushed tomatoes, I chopped up 4 big tomatoes…not a big fan of canned foods. And what better time to try a new soup recipe that is flavorful and helps you lose weight than in the month of January?! As for the magazine, it’s a great read. I buy every new issue when it comes out because it’s full of useful information and not the silly stuff that’s found in some other women’s magazines.
I bought the magazine 2 days ago. I have been reading up on this site and reread the article. I went and bought all the ingredients and made this “soup” , mine was rather thick since I chopped my veggies really small. I just finished my first bowl and, WOW!, is it good. Now, lets see if it works! Vacation in 2 and a half week.
Just got done eating my first bowl and let me say yummmmmy! My fiance even liked it! Thanks for the recipes!
Can someone post the recipe online or would that be unethical?
Here is the link to the recipe!
https://annlouiseprod.wpengine.com/blog/2011/10/04/my-famous-fat-flush-soup-recipe/
Where is the recipe//
I made this soup yesterday, it’s wonderful! Can anyone suggest a substitute for seaweed gomasio? The description says there may be traces of shellfish and I’m allergic and don’t eat shellfish or pork. Thanks for any help.
Those links to the recipe are the previous version. It does not include the new ‘tweaks’ mentioned in the above post.
Mary- the Seaweed Gomasio is basically sesame seeds and sea vegetables, so if you wanted to do just some sesame seeds toasted and tossed with sea salt of Himalayan salt, I think that would be a good substitute!
They are not specific on the portion size of this soup. But states that 2-3 cups is a serving. I found this to be alot to eat and it took me a long time to consume it all. Are we to eat 2-3 cups of this soup as a portion twice a day? Just curious to make sure I do this right. Someone please let me know.
2 days ago I made this soup (from the magazine recipe) and it is absolutely wonderful. Our DD and DSIL are visiting and he just loves it. They say it reminds them of the great soups they found while on trips to Europe, especially Italy. For the first time, I used escarole and it adds fabulous taste and texture. I used the juice from a WHOLE lime (it wasn’t too much) and that and the cumin contribute to a marvelous fresh, rich taste.
My only complaint–and it is a ROFL–is that the directions say “10 min prep time” What a hoot–I minced and chopped everything and it took over an hour to get it all chopped (including three organic skinless chicken breasts) and put together. I suppose one could use a food processor, but it will not give the neatly cubed result I got. (OK, either I’m obsessive-compulsive or I love to cook–or both) I dont have wakame but used all the rest it calls for and it is perfect–I will gladly eat this soup twice a day. It is very pretty and SO totally satisfying, and very filling. I dont even want any salad or anything else with it..
PS–add the escarole at the very last minute and don’t cook the soup any further, just stir the escarole in.
The recipe is featured in the January 23, 2012 First for Women magazine. I guess for the recipe you have to pay. Who knew?
The soup is great. Not sure how long it is to be used and how does it work with the Fat Flush Plan?
Love the soup … made two batches so far, one of the thyroid booster and one of the yeast fighter. My questions are can the two recipes be combined, of course taking out the mushrooms for both? And do you need to double the batch of basic soup for the extra ingredients if you are combining?
Also I went to an Asian market and they said they didn’t know what seaweed gomasio was so I just bought seaweed. Is this right becasue I see from someone elses post that it is toasted seasame seeds and sea vegetables or does both work?
Thanks for your help
I bought the First for Women mag. today and just finished reading the article about the slimming soup and came to this web-site to find out more about this diet. I read the article twice trying to find out how long it is recommended that you stay on this diet. The soup sounds delicious but just how long can you eat this soup twice-a-day without a break? I have followed similar soup diets before and they have suggested something like 3 days on and 1 or 2 days off then begin again. Does anyone know what is recommended?
Thanks for your comments, ladies.
The plan can be used as a “kickoff” to the classic Fat Flush Plan which you can start after a week or ten days on the soup plan. Please note – although the magazine did not specifically mention – that you can enjoy as many low-glycemic veggies between meals if hungry: cucumbers, black olives, celery, peppers, etc. Can also include 1 or 2 hard boiled Omega-3 eggs.
The slimming soup recipe was designed as an introduction to the classic Fat Flush program, a three-phase eating regimen for detox, ongoing weight loss, and lifestyle enjoyment.
what size portions? Does it matter? Is it unlimited amount? If you get hungry do you have another bowl?
your suppose to eat a small salad with it or a bowl of veggies without dimishing your weight loss rewards
Ladies: Unlimited raw non-starchy vegetables between meals as mentioned above. If you get hungry, then eat 1 – 2 hard boiled eggs maintaining the soup twice per day and one meal in the evening of 1/2 cup cooked veggies (broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts), 4 oz protein and leafy green salad.
To clarify the comments above: While the First for Women article suggests that the soup be used as a meal-in-a-bowl for lunch and dinner (can include a side salad or non-starchy veggies in addition) preceded by a protein rich breakfast (this is where the eggs come in if you prefer or a smoothie), you can adapt to your current lifestyle needs and convenience and mix it up. With regard to portions, 1/2 – 1 cup cooked veggies, unlimited raw (see examples above) and if you are still hungry add 1 cup berries as a snack.
See The Fat Flush Plan for more meal ideas and variations.
I love Ann Louise and her books! I am so excited to start my “soup” plan and then on to the Fat Flush, which i have done for years but have taken a side road the last couple of years and put some of the weight back on, but not worried……it will come off!! I was wondering about the thyroid and yeast recipes and the other two as well, why cant i just add them altogether? Sounds like it would work to me!
for the “seaweed” go to an Asian foodstore and ask for “Wakame”–that might be an easier way to find fresh seaweed. It’s great in salads, too.
Now THIS is weird: I GAIN weight. I do NOT LOSE weight! That is who I am,: a Weight-Gainer.
HAH–NOT ANY MORE! 4 days on this miracle soup and I have lost 4 pounds–totally without effort. My (thin) husband makes fabulous pizza and spaghetti and has done so the last two nights. I had one little bite of the pizza and didnt even want it–preferred my delicious soup. Never bothered to even taste the spaghetti, just ate my soup. I am NEVER HUNGRY, never have the craves (I have a semi-diabetic blood sugar and carbs are my weakness. Actually, I should say “carbs WERE my weakness.” ) And I am brimming over with energy. This soup is so nourishing and satisfying that I dont care at this point if I ever eat anything else for lunch and dinner. (But yes, I do have a high protein brekky–two boiled eggs with a few shreds of cheese over them, along with a cup of green tea. Thank you Dr Gittleman and Thank You ” First Magazine” for women.
I was wondering about the thyroid and yeast recipes and the other two as well, why cant i just add them altogether? Sounds like it would work to me!
I’ve thought about doing this Mon-Weds for the next 4 weeks, and eating healthy but more normally Thurs-Sun. What do you think???
LaurieJ — You can definitely add the thyroid revving and yeast-fighting soups together and enjoy.
Vanessa — We think that your idea is a wonderful one, go for it!
Lisa — We are SO proud of you! Congratulations…..This is why we all work so hard on Team ALG. Results like yours make everything so worthwhile. …. 🙂
Because of osteoarthritis, I avoid the nightshade family [tomatoes and juice, green pepper, cayenne, eggplant] Will the slimming diet still work if I omit these veggies
and use Organic Broth for the liquid.
My mom bought the magazine and made the soup for her and my dad. They both LOVE IT! My mom had it for two days (4 meals) and is down 3lbs. I am picking up the ingredients (and the Magazine!) today and am going to make it as well! So excited to see the results my parents and I both get from this soup! Good Luck Ladies! May 2012 be the year we all reach our health goals!!
is there a specific amount soup we should eat?
I love the soup! Is there a nutrition guide available?
Thanks so much!
Marney: If those veggies don’t work for you, I’m sure you will still get results with your modification. Just make sure the organic broth is not high in socium.
Trasee A serving is up to 3 cups.
Bonnie: Since there are different varriations, it would not be easy to have a nutrition analysis of the soup.
I made the soup and added the water but it’s still alittle too tomatoe. Is it ok to add low sodium chicken broth?
is it ok to eat yogurt while on the soup diet? and what kind of things can you eat for breakfast? and is there a list of the vegies you can eat?
can you use low sodium chicken broth??? because i agree that its just a little to tomatoe-y for me too
Where do I find these soup recipes? I have missed this information somewhere. Thanks
Another question. Do these recipes help to make the body more alkaline?
I can’t have any night shades. How can I adapt the soup for my needs?
That mean’s no tomato’s or peppers.
I need the yeast killing soup.
Can you help me?
what can you snack on while on thi plan,and can you drink alcohol?
Rosalie: Yes, certainly add the chicken broth!
Kayla: Your questions would be best answered by the magazine article. I’m not able to re-post the diet protocol yet!
Kate: Thumbs up on the low sodium chicken broth!!
Verna: The Fat Flush Soup Diet protocol is published in the January 23rd issue of First for Women magazine. And yes! Some of the key ingredients of the soup have an alkalizing affect on the body.
Marlene: Please omit the tomato products and use low sodium vegetable, chicken, or beef broth in its place. Please reference the magazine article for the yeast-killing tweaks!
Gay: Alcohol is a detox detractor, so best to avoid it during this plan, for optimal results. Please reference the magazine article for approved snacks!!
Regarding yeast, do you mean 100 MCG instead of 100 MG of molybdenum? TY.
The only thing is i read the article. Made the soup.Love it. But if i want to lose more that 10 pounds or stay on longer it does not explain what to do. Im trying to find out what to do.It almost sounds like i have to buy the book when usually in the article gives you ideas to go further. That is why i went on this site. Any suggestions?
I am taking thyroid medication can I still safely add seaweed to my soup. Also I am intolerant to raw garlic can I use garlic powder or roasted garlic.do you have a substitute spice for cumin.
love the soup
What are the calories of the soup, I have the magazine and article right now and it does not list it at all. Thanks!
OK, I had my first bowl of this soup the evening of January 3. And loved it! So my routine is now: 2 hard boiled Omega 3 eggs for brekky (with a cup of green tea) every morning. Then lunch and supper are made of this this soup (sometimes with a side salad.) . (I drink big glasses of filtered water during the day and at my meals) the soup is delicious and filling–and I now have enough energy to leap tall buildings with a single bound..
AND since January 3, I have gone from my all-time high (after horrible holiday pigging out) of 187.4 to (this morning) 178.2. This is so amazing that I stepped on my scale 3 times to make sure it was working right or I had not lost my mind completely. Each time, the scale said the same thing. I am now on my second batch of the soup (made this afternoon) and now my husband wants some–although I am not sure he will be nuts about the turmeric. ( Interestingly, I never find “eating the same thing day after day” boring and always look forward to a meal of this soup because it still tastes wonderful to me. ..
I will be seeing my PCP soon and think he will be delighted with the results of this sensible lifestyle. Not just my weight, but lower BP and my blood sugar readings are super, too–about 118 after eating, and then they drop quickly down into the normal 90’s so this is a great soup for those who are borderline T2 diabetics.
Thank you ” First For Women” and Dr Gittleman–you have inspired me to get back into a way of life where I am no longer ignoring my health. And thanks also to the others who have shared their own happy experiences with this Magical Soup. LisaA.
How many weeks can you continue to be on the soup diet?
I just so happened to come across this magazine, and buy it, and I never do that. I saw the soup recipe……..made it……LOVE IT!! I am very surprised at how delicious it is! My husband even likes it and that’s saying alot! lol My only question is, can I combine the different things, like the pink salt, seaweed, diakon, and Tumeric all in the same soup since i have literally every single one of the symptoms?? Thanks!
I am wondering how many calories this soups has per serving. Thanks
Bought the magazine, got real excited about soup, made it for 3 days, when I realized the magazine did not tell you what to do once the 2 weeks were up, I went out and got the book FAT FLUSH PLAN & FAT FLUSH FITNESS. Today is day 5 of the soup for lunch and dinner, HB eggs and a few berries for breakfast. I am very discourage because the reason I was so interested in the diet in the 1st place was because the soup was so simple(and cheap) and I new exactly where & what to buy, plus it is so easy to just send my husband (who is also on day 5) to work with the soup & his dinner was ready whenever he was! Now that I have the book, it seems like i have to buy 100 more items to fix all these meals snacks, beverages. Not to mention, how time consuming it will be to fix his breakfast, lunch, and dinner….and mine as well! Before the diet, he would get lunch (sandwich & fruit) and dinner. I am kind of overwhelmed by the book FAT FLUSH PLAN, but I do love the FITNESS book!
I love the soup it is insanely delicious, quick and easy to make, smells awesome cooking and totally satisfying so I am not hungry for hours! Glad I spent some time reading the posts, think I’ll try reducing the amount of tomato and replace with a low sodium broth.
Like Stacey, I too, would like to know if I can combine all of the different ingredients suggest to target specific issues into one soup as I suffer from many of the symptoms addressed as well!
In regards to calories per cup, I really think it depends on what variation you use and also which tomato/veggie juice you use. I used V8 Low Sodium and made the standard soup with extra lean turkey and chick peas, but added the turmeric. I ended up with 20 cups of soup in total, (no water added).
I put all the ingredients into an on-line calorie counter, added them up and then divided by 20 and ended up with an estimated 120 calories per cup. Of course this assumes that you will get an exactly equal amount of the different ingredients each time, which is unlikely. But as a rough average, I feel pretty good about it.
Also, it is so delicious. Glad I picked up the magazine as a total impulse buy at the checkout 😉
Just wondering should I only stay on the soup for so many weeks then take a break or can I continue it as long as I want?
I just bought the magazine today and have read the entire article through a couple of times. I am going to start this on Monday and take it to work with me each day.
My question is: Is there a different ingrediant/vegatable to put in rather than squash. I am not real fond of any squash except zucinni. Can this be substituted for the yellow without messing up the benefits of the soup?
Am looking forward to fitting into my summer clothes that I have not worn for a couple years due to weight loss.
Thanks a lot!
I just made the soup, ready to start in the morning.
Can you have the soup for breakfast and dinner and the eggs and grapefruit for lunch?
Thanks
can you get these books at walmart
I was just wondering the approximate calories in a 2 cup serving of the Slimming Soup. I love the soup, feel full very quickly! Yeah!
Can you snack on any fruit?
I also love to have a morning coffee with cream…is this a NO NO???
This sounds wonderful and I can’t wait to try! Is this recipe/plan listed anywhere besides the magazine??
Where do I find this magazine? I just looked at Barnes & Nobel and my supermarket. Neither had it…
Chris: yes you can substitute squash
Linda: Yes, you can do this sometimes
Shauna: You are right about the coffee with cream
Debbie: Glad you are enjoying the soup. We don’t count calories and there are too many soup varriations to even guess.
Nikole: You can simplify the Fat Flush plan by just sticking to the recommended foods and portions, or you could do the Smoothie Shakedown for a couple of weeks, which is also a very fast and easy diet to follow. check out http://www.smoothieshakedown.com.
The January 23rd issue of First for Women should still be available, including at Walmart. It may be sold out though.
Made the soup today!!!! It’s Delish!!!!! Love it!
I’m allergic to onions, so of course I did not put them in the soup – will this alter my results?
Do you have to add the extra’s to get benefits of the soup?
I reread the article & did not find any mention of the authorized snacks – can you please provide me with a list?
I found this magazine at Kroger and Publix Supermarkets. I love the soup! It was easy to make and I too was surprised at how good it was! I added the sea salt, zucchini, daikon (found this at Kroger), extra garlic and cilantro, and tumeric to the soup and it is so good! I tried the cabbage soup diet in the past and I couldnt stay on it because I was so hungry and ready for real food after day three. I am on day 2 and I feel full all day long! I dropped 1.5 pounds overnight too!
Hello-
I’m on day 2 after a trip of eating non-stop to Mexico and a doctor that is concerned because I gained 18 lbs. in a year. I’m 155 now and 5’7″ but was under 140 a year ago. So I hope this will get me back to wearing my skinny jeans! The soup is great!
Laura
Hi…
I am consuming this soup (very tasty) daily along w/the Fat Flush Plan (book) which I purchased upon reading the article in FIRST FOR WOMEN. Couple quesstions:
Should I eliminate the beans since I am in phase 1, and should I substitute them w/something else?
Aslo, can I alternate the long life cocktail and the green life cocktail on Phase 1 and can I add Stevia to sweeten it a bit?
Thanks so much!
Hi
loving the feeling after 2 days on the soup plan. I have been working out a lot this week and woke up at 5 a.m. starving, it really woke me up. I have been eating the 2 approved snacks and 2 cups soup each meal. Is there something i should be doing so I am not sooo hungry? I did add a few almonds in too. Also, one cup of coffee ok?
I purchase the magazine, made the soup and at it twice a day. For breakfast i would sautee spinach in chicken broth and have two eggs with it or I would make a veggie omlet with broccolli, scallions, peepers or whatever veggies I had on hand. I also ate fruit twice a day during snack. My starting weight was 271 lbs. A week later I have lost 10 pounds and can’t wait to start my second week. I felt full and I decided to purchase the book so I can continue on my weight loss journey.
The issue of this magazine is no longer on the stands. When and where can I find these recipes???
This soup is so good and filling. I bought ingredients for my third and forth batch tonight.
I eat this soup for lunch and supper and I start the day with protein. I highly recommend it. I have pretty much eliminated carbs and sugars from my diet and feel much less sluggish. This soup works! 🙂
Can’t wait to start the soup, however, I do not like or eat eggs. Any other suggestions for breakfast? Can I eat fruit with this? I am a big fruit eater. Thanks!
Where is the new recipe?
I follow the Paleo way of eating, which excludes legumes. Can I increase the amount of protein in the soup, with meat?
I would consider eating legumes, just not sure how my body would react! I haven’t eaten legumes for over one year now. I am concerned that digesting them might be an issue, since I haven’t had them in quite a while now. Legumes used to give me gas, in the “old days” when I used to eat them.
I welcome your thoughts!
I have been eating the soup for two weeks. I am very excited about the 7 pounds I have lost and that is with a few days of eating a normal dinner with my family. But I have strange and very itchy bumps around my left knee and ankle. Could this be a reaction some how to losing weight too fast or the exiting of the yeast?
I am down – 10 pounds from phase 1 – entering phase 2 and wondering about the beans in the soup – since they are not part of phase 2 foods…what can they be replaced with or do I add them anyway? Clarification would be helpful.
Thanks
the magazine says i can come here for more suggestions on the foods to eat for breaksfast, but i dont see them anywhere….. oh guess the magazine should have said go buy the book,,, but the soup is very good
I made the soup today. It is great! My son said it tasted a lot like Chicken Tortillo Soup. Does anyone know how many calories to a serving of the basic recipe?
A friend sent me to this site and I will be getting ingredients to make the soup. I have Hypothyroid, and probably have had it most of my life although it’s out of control right now. I’ve gained around 50 lbs in a short period of time and am at my wit’s end to get some control.
Will this soup work for me? I’ve been on a Gluten and dairy free diet for around 2 months, have removed sugar and sugar substitutes from my diet and have been drinking Green Smoothies (fruits & greens) for 3 weeks. I’m nearly ready to go to a raw food diet. All that has happened is my weight is increasing.
What to do?
Hi Marian, It sounds like you have made some fantastic changes in your diet so far. The Fat Flush Soup Diet should work wonders for you. You can continue your smoothie in the morning so long as you use a high quality protein supplement like the UNI KEY Fat Flush Body Protein. Limit your fruit intake to two servings per day, and try drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water. Follow this for two weeks or so, then investigate Phase 2 of the Fat Flush Plan 🙂
Can you please send me the recipe for the slimming soup as i cant seem to find it. Thanks Cheers Jan Jacobs

Here is the link, Jan! Enjoy 🙂
I just made this soup two days ago, so I can’t rave about results yet. I do want to mention how tasty it is though. I couldn’t believe the article intro that touted results in women who ate this soup two times a day. I thought, “Who’d want to eat soup twice a day for so many days?” Well, since I tasted it, this soup is all I’m in the mood to eat. It is scrumptious.
Where is the recipe? I cut it out of the magazine but lost that.
Please see the link above, that Sierra posted
I’ve been really struggling with my weight, I’m 60 lbs over weight…. I read about this slimming soup diet today…. And… Decided to give it a shot. Omg! This soup is amazing and filling! My question is, after a few weeks there’s a phase 2? Can I find this in Anne’s book? Can I buy this book at a store? Also what can I have to eat other than the soup to shred of the pounds?
Hi Krysta! I’m so excited that you’ve found the Fat Flush Soup Diet 🙂
I recommend that you get the Fat Flush Plan book by Dr. Ann Louise, available at http://www.unikeyhealth.com, or Amazon, or your local library. Once you have that resource, the whole world of Fat Flushing will be at your fingertips!
You can follow the soup diet for two weeks, after which time I recommend doing two weeks of Phase 1 from the book, then follow Phase 2 until you reach your weight loss goal. Phase three is a great resource for lifestyle maintenance of your new eating habits.
During the two weeks of the soup diet, you may also have 2 eggs daily, an unlimited amount of the approved vegetables, and one or two servings of the Fat Flush Body protein powder, depending on your level of activity. Try to cut out caffeine, soda, and fruit juices, and please don’t use any artificial sweeteners! Drink about half of your body weight in ounces of water per day, adding up to 8 ounces of pure unsweetened cranberry juice (healthfood section kind, not OceanSpray!). This will give you a jump start to the whole Fat Flush Plan 🙂
Also, the soup can be eaten during all phases of the Fat Flush Plan so long as you omit the beans.
Best wishes to you, and please call UNI KEY 800.888.4353 if you would like any help!
Can I have any fruit while I am doing the fat flush soup diet? I know you said to have eggs for breakfast and the soup for lunch and dinner. Is there anything I can have for a snack?
Hi Janice,
You can have up to two servings of Fat Flush approved fruit per day during the Soup Diet. Other snacks would include any of the Fat Flush approved vegetables. Visit http://www.smoothieshakedown.com for a list of approved fruits and veggies!
Every Morning I freshly squeeze one grapefruit and one lemon and drink it. Would that be considered fruit juice????
Beverly, yes that would have to be considered as one of two allowable servings of fruit per day!
Great info, i just knew that protein is so important to losing weight.
I thought i was in The Adrenal Type because sometimes i have low blood pressure.
may be i should add tomatoes, berries, and cherries in my food.
Thank you for thi geat information
