Fat Flush Makes Woman’s World Cover Story Again.
The October 3, 2011 Woman’s World is on newsstands now! It features my recipe—the one I exclusively created for Woman’s World readers—for a diet soup that helps to beat bloat and toxins while emulsifying fat. The soup’s slimming ingredients include lots of warming and earthy flavor-filled spices like cumin, for example, which helps the digestive system by relieving abdominal distention and gas and helps to alleviate migraines and headaches.
The Fat Flush Diet Soup also contains ample amounts of antioxidant rich veggies as well as lean ground protein (like beef, turkey or chicken) and fiber-filled beans to dramatically reduce appetite while regulating blood sugar and making you feel fuller—faster. The recipe in the magazine, however, does not specify the type of beans. I used black beans during the testing phase. Many of my Facebook fans have used black beans as well and found them to blend really well with the rest of the fat flushing ingredients.
As one of the best sources of fiber on the planet, beans typically contain anywhere from 11 grams to 17 grams of fiber per serving. That’s a pretty hefty amount for one food group when you consider that the daily recommendation is about 30-35 grams. In terms of fiber, no other food compares to the bountiful bean when it comes to fiber content. And—because they are complex carbohydrates, beans digest slowly so you get sustained energy. You also get lots of antioxidants, vitamins, and phytochemicals while balancing your cholesterol at the same time.
Plus, beans are antibiotic, hormone, and steroid-free which makes them a really healthy stand-out compared to commercial sources of animal protein.
While your lunch and dinner meals are satisfied by the scrumptious soup with in-between snacks, you do have a choice for breakfast—either eggs or a smoothie.
To get you off to a high-metabolic start and set you up for less hunger throughout the day, I would recommend Fat Flush Body Protein for your smoothies.
Fat Flush Body Protein contains a perfect blend of complete plant-based proteins (non-GMO rice and pea protein, to be exact) which provide a respectable 20 grams of protein compared to just 6 grams of protein in one egg. Protein triggers the production of the hormone glucagon which releases fat from adipose tissue storage and counters insulin which promotes fat.
Without enough protein, the thyroid is not able to ignite the fuel that transforms food into energy. The adrenals can become exhausted, too.
Here is my personal favorite smoothie recipe to complement the Fat Flush Diet Soup:
Pumpkin Pie Harvest Smoothie
8 ounces of water or cran-water
1 scoop of Fat Flush Body Protein
½ cup unsweetened pumpkin
1 apple
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil
1 tablespoon flax or chia seeds
1 teaspoon Flora-Key
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground ginger and cloves
3 ice cubes
Combine all ingredients and blend on high speed. Add the ice cubes until thick and creamy. Refrigerate or freeze for later use.
Get the full Fat Flush Diet Soup recipe and meal plan in the October 3, 2011 issue of Woman’s World magazine on newsstands now—but, hurry because the next issue comes out at the end of the week!
Note: For those of you currently following my classic Fat Flush program, please note that this soup recipe would be most appropriate for Pre-flush or Phase 3. The Fat Flush Diet Soup was developed to introduce some basic Fat Flushing principles to a more mainstream audience. For those who are new to the Fat Flush program, I would suggest that you pick up a copy of The Fat Flush Plan for continued weight loss success.

Would it upset the balance of this soup if you added a few handfuls of spinach? I have noticed my hair thining and know that an iron deficiency can cause that. I also crave red meat all the time, does that indicate I am low on iron?
Thank you!
i have done the 3 day juice detox in the past and worked great to get me back on track if i indulged on the weekend. I did find it hard sometimes and felt a little lightheaded if i exercised. I will give this a try and hopes it works just as well. I do love soup and to be able to lose a few pounds of water weight and debloat while eating food would be fantastic. Can I add salt to this soup? even just a little? I find salt and hot sauce really boosts flavour.
Dena – go right ahead and add a few handfuls of spinach! You might also consider taking a Tissue Mineral Analysis test to assess mineral deficiencies or even consider adding hydrochloric acid to your protein-based meals. This supplement helps to digest protein and breakdown iron. I created HCL+2 for these purposes.
Dear Hanna – If you feel that the soup needs an extra flavor boost then by all means add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the recipe.
Can I use quinoa for protein instead of meat? I am a vegetarian.
Hi Dawn: I would simply omit the meat and increase the beans with another 1/2 can of black, navey, or pinto beans.
The soup does not look like it will give me 15 cups. Was I supposed to add water? I used 32 oz. tomato juice.
You can add water so that you will have the 15 cups.
How much water would you recommend? I followed the recipe in Woman’s World to the t.
I’m allergic to all types of legumes, soy, and nuts..Is there anything else I could use in my soup?
I doubled the recipe and it doesn’t give me 32 cups. I don’t have a problem with that, just need to know if I did something wrong. Doubling the recipe only lasts me 3+ days. And, is 3 cups serving size right? I felt light headed when exercising so I thought I would try the Greek Yogurt Smoothie for breakfast instead, thinking it would give me the carbs I need to maintain my workout. I was thinking just to eat the yogurt and fruit instead of making a smoothie. But, again, the serving size sounds huge … is this right 1 1/2 cups of yogurt and 1 1/2 cups of fruit? Thanks!!
Ok, all this hype – and no recipe. 🙁 Is it printed somewhere I missed?
Oooohhhh, sounds so good! Looking forward to the Pumpkin Smoothie too : )
Thanks ALG!
Michelle: You can simply omit the beans.
Donna: Since the recipe was tested by the Woman’s World test kitchen, we would imagine that you could simple add about 2 cups of water to extend the soup base for more cups. The smoothie presented in the magazine was developed by Woman’s World. We would suggest some type of protein powder used for extended energy and sustainability.
Beth: Since the magazine is still on the newsstands, we do not want to compete with the magazine until it is off the stands. We will print the recipe within a few weeks. Thank you for your understanding. Woman’s World was kind enough to publish the recipe. We want to be respectful of the magazine.
Cheri: The soup is quite delicious and filling and we love the Smoothie, too.
Thanks, ladies for all your comments.
Like Beth, I cannot find the recipe?? I clicked on the link and searched. It would be very helpful to have it printed somewhere.
Help!! I want the recipe to this soup but cannot find it anywhere. Please send me the recipe
Colleen
Help me please find the recipe for this soup. Thank you,
Colleen
Please see comment above…the recipe is available in the magazine!
Since the magazine is still on the newsstands, we do not want to compete with the magazine until it is off the stands. We will print the recipe within a few weeks. Thank you for your understanding. Woman’s World was kind enough to publish the recipe. We want to be respectful of the magazine and be supportive of Woman’s World.
The soup is delicious I am actually eatting it right now! I am having trouble finishing a whole 3 cup serving I’m already full and have a little more than a cup left. Do you absolutely have to finish the whole serving for it to be effective?
So glad, Michele — I know the serving of 3 cups is hefty for some…so just enjoy what you can!
How long should you be on this diet? After the timing of this diet what do you recommend doing next?
Also looking at some of info on from your other books you recommend to drink cranberry juice. Do you recommend that along with this diet?
Where is the recipe? I don’t see it?
Natalie – We think that one to two weeks on the Soup and then transition to classic Fat Flush….You may wish to keep the cran-water component for the full fledged Fat Flush of which the Soup is just a delicious preview:)
Recipe is in the October 3, 2011 issue of Woman’s World!
Hi all. I want to try the 3 day soup flush . Do you think i will see results within 3 days or do u believe i have to stay on the soup diet for a full week to see the results ? thank you
What kind of beans should I use?
Thanks
In gunna try this tommorow! Gunna try black beans
Fat Flush book states that eating beans and meet is not good combination food to eat together but now this soup has those two ingredients together???
CanI buy Woman’s World in the UK?
I would like to try the soup recipe .I Like the Fat Flush smoothie.
Here in the UK I can only buy whey protein for my smoothie
I live 6 months in US so usually buy enough Fat Flush Products to last me
I really love your products
Regards Liz
Thanks, Liz…Please look for Woman’s World on the newsstands. We don’t know if it is available in the UK but we will be posting the recipe in a few weeks when the October issue is no longer available here in the States.
Black beans, pinto, or navy beans would be great bean choices.
With regard to the combination of beans and beef, phase 3 of Fat Flush plan regarding food combining is designed for advanced Fat Flushers. The soup is a mainstream intro to the basic concepts.
In the future it would be helpful to have this recipe on line for those of us who cannot purchase the magazine. As a loyal consumer of your products, and one who uses the smoothie on a regular basis, this is frustrating to me.
What kind of chicken to use? Can you use fresh chicken, cook it and then shred it or is there a brand out there already shredded that you can use? Help. Would like to start this Sunday.
I bought the magazine last week! I’m not too particularly fond of eggs, but I’ll eat them. Can you have boiled eggs instead? Not fond of smoothies either?
Mari: We are honoring Woman’s World’s request that we do not publish the magazine’s exclusive recipe until the issue is off the stands . Thank you for your understanding. We will be publishing the recipe shortly
With regard to chicken, white chicken breast would be fine at the same amounts as the meat. You could cook it and then shred it — sounds wonderful. I would choose an organic brand from the health food store – if possible 🙂
Gwen — you can have hard cooked eggs for breakfasts, sure thing.
got the magazine. I do not like cilantro – can I double the parsley or can you recommend something else?
Double the parsely, Vicki – not a problem.
what kind of weight loss should i expect 217 lbs. also throid issues. do u have to exercise?
By the time I saw your newsletter, and got to the store yesterday to buy Woman’s World, they had already replaced it with the October 10th edition. I asked at the store if they had any of the October 3rd issues, but they use an outside vendor, and they apparently take all the “old” issues with them when the replace with the new. I’m kind of frustrated because I ALWAYS buy Women’s World, but was out of town this past weekend, and didn’t think of it until doing my grocery shopping, and by then it was too late. Wouldn’t you know they were early replacing them this week? I hope you will print the soup recipe sooner rather than later, because I really am hyped to try it.
Thank you!
Hello: The weight loss results can be very individual but generally the more you have to lose, the faster it seems to come off. So, we wish you lots of good luck with the program Gwen. A twenty minute walk each day would only augment your success.
So sorry to hear that you couldn’t find the October 3, 2011 issue, Celia. We will be posting the recipe within the next week.
I am making my second batch tonight. I too didn’t get enough from the original recipe. I think it cooks down while simmering. However, I am satisfied with 2 cups instead of three and it is good to know that you can add water to dilute it. The only trouble is, no store here carries 32 oz of vegetable juice. I had to open a larger bottle and measure and had about 2 cups left over.
if you can’t find the magazine on the newstand, try the library.
Which veggies and fruits are rich in bloat-busting water and slimming nutrients like vitamin C? Also the diet calls for 1 serving of soup for lunch and dinner. Woman’s World recipe has 1 serving = 3 cups is that correct? If correct i eat 3 cups for lunch and 3 cups for dinner!
can we eat the soup with crackers or something else? and what can we drink throughout the day besides water?
Myra — Veggies like yellow squash, tomatoes, celery, carrot sticks, and cucumbers would work are wonderful additions to the Fat Flush Diet Soup during the day. With regard to fruits, if you are using 1 1’/2 cups of berries in the AM smoothie than we would suggest you could choose from another fruit serving like 1 apple, 1 pear, 12 cherries, or 1 orange. The serving size is 3 cups, according to Woman’s World, although some of the liquid evaporates during simmering.
Ima – You can eat the above veggies with the soup and in terms of liquids and you can spike up the water with a twist of lemon or lime juice.
I saw the recipe in the magazine this weekend. I had no idea that the soup is built around an entire plan. I’ll look for you books today. I am eager to begin the system. I am 5’4 and weigh 248. Yikes! I love this forum. It’s both encouraging and informative.
I used dark kidney beans. Will I still see results? Made the soup last nite, very delicious! !!
The kidney beans are excellent — Way to go, ladies!!!!
can I use tomatoes with green chili’s instead of crushed tomatoes.
Celeste — Yes, you can definitely use tomatoes with green chilis to heat things up a bit 🙂
I made the soup today is was very easy and not that expensive! I only ate 3 cups because i made it around 3pm so i had it for dinner. I used 93% lean turkey meat, 15oz organic black beans(couldnt find 14oz) no salt dice tomatoes, and white mushrooms plus all the other ingredients the recipe called for. I was very full. I feel like i put on weight instead of losing..lol.. I didn’t get chance to walk today because of storms here in NC. I have been walking 30 to 45mins everyday. I really pray this works because i seem to be at a stand still with weight loss!
I missed the Oct 3 issue for your detox soup.Hoping to see a print out Thanks
I purchased the magazine and left it somewhere – went to repurchase it and it’s no longer on newsstand. I have the Fat Flush Plan book but not finding that specific recipe in it. How do I get it?
Next blog will have the recipes and more tips and testimonials.\
What kind of beans go in this soup? Green beans, kidney beans…
Best beans: kidney, black, navy beans.
hi,i bought the Womans World oct 3rd issue..bought all ingredients to make the soup &
left my magazine at wrk….any way to get the recipe online??
I went today and I went to 4 stores, the October 10, 2011 issue is on the stands, October 3, 2011 no longer available…
So can this recipe be reprinted as we can not buy the magazine.
Thank you

I made the soup but did not get 16 cups. I thought I was missing an ingredient such as water but have found none listed. The soup is very good but more like a goulash than thin soup. I prefer thinner soups btu will make this again.
For a thinner soup, simply add more water and enjoy!
I did the exact same thing as Linda…bought the mag and now don’t have it. When will the new blog come out with the recipe? I was hoping to start the diet this coming week.
I made the soup as written and love the taste. It’s thick like chilli. Three cups seem too much for me at one time. Could I eat less at one meal, but eat smaller portions more often? Also, I drink coffee, with coffemate and Equal. This I do not want to change. I drink seltzer for cold drinks. Will I still be able to lose weight? I can’t exercise because of back problems.
Thanks,
Sil…thanks for the recipe, threw my copy away.
How long will I need to eat this soup in order to see results, I been eating it for three days.
I did this diet for 6 days and did not lose a pound I did drink plain coffee one day and tea (also plain) one day and also had watered down v8 with lemon one day but veggies are allowed as snack so this seemed like it should be ok-Also as other persons have noted it dd not make as many cups as stated- i added a little water when I reheated soup all in all I am disappointed
Sil.Thanks so much for recipe.i am making it now!!!
kinda disappointed to here that it doesnt make as much soup as recipe says.but will add water also..Thanks a bunch
Great recipe! My mother-in-law is a subscriber to the magazine and we happened to be over when she was making the soup. It smelled so delicious I wanted to try it, so we copied down the recipe and I just finished making it!
Thanks for the recipe! I couldn’t find the magazine in the store either. How can I find the article so I know how the diet plan works?
I bought the October 3 issue specifically because I was interested in this recipe. I have been sick with a gallbladder disease (not stones). I’m going to have my gallbladder removed in about a week, but until then, it’s been a challenge trying to find foods that don’t make me sick. My husband was kind enough to make the soup for me. It tasted wonderful and I had no ill effects from it. My husband enjoyed it, too. I’m so grateful for this. Thanks.
So glad to hear your positive comments…we will try to highlight as much of the Woman’s World article in a forthcoming blog this week. Appreciate your patience and understanding so very much.
Can you use tofu in place of the meat? I’ve been a lacto ovo vegetarian since I was 10 (47 now).
I will admit that math is not my strong suit, however even I can do the math to know that you will not get 16 cups of soup from 32 oz of tomato juice. I ended up with only 8 cups of soup. I added 8 cups of water and it came out fine!
as with most cant figure out how u got 16 cups of soup and do I have to eat 6 cups a day?
I LOVE spice and have used canned black beans with jalapeno. I noticed the sodium is higher. Would that be ok to use?
I am on weight watchers and hit a plateau…I saw the diet, made the soup(double batch)…..ate for 5 days, weighed in at 5.6 lbs less in just one week. Love it. All the girls at my group wanted the recipe 🙂 I am doing it again this week.
We suggest that if you are using canned beans with jalapeno, first drain off the excess sodium with the beans in a strainer under the faucet. That should do the trick.
I saw this recipe in Woman’s World & since I had most of the ingredients in my pantry, I made a tweaked version of this soup. I did not have tomato juice so I used tomato paste & added water, since the diced tomatoes I had also had chiles & onions, I added about 3 tbsps of diced jalopeno chiles, and a 4 oz can of diced green chilis, used garbanzo beans & added a can of refried beans … I lost 10.4 lbs in one week even tho I did not follow the diet exactly…I made a second batch using a different set of spices, italian so the soup seemed more like a minestone. I highly recommend this soup as it does not leave you feeling hungry & you can tweak the spices so it minimizes the boredom of diet foods. I have never been much of a snacker so other diets did not help me as they were too different from my normal eating habits.
I am now on my second week of eating this soup & hope I continue to lose.
I knew after reading the recipe that it would not make near 16 cups. So I simmered 2 chicken breasts (skin and fat removed) in 3-4 cups of water and then added the simmered vegetables to the chicken and broth. I removed the chicken at the end, de-boned and cubed it and returned the chicken to the pot. Even then I probably came up with about 12-13 cups but it was delicious! I will make it again but will add 4 cups chicken or beef broth to the recipe.
Made the soup last night!! So far I’m loving it. My husband and I are going to eat it all week. Question?? Do I have to eat 3 cups? I ate 2 for lunch and I’m stuffed?
I followed the recipe and did get about 15 cups. This soup is GREAT! I used ground beef and in two days lost 3lbs without ever feeling hungry. I just made up a double batch. I had hit a plateau and this has started my weight loss again. Thanks!
Love your comments and if you are filled up with 2 cups – you don’t have to have another one…. More to come, of course 🙂
Thanks for all the comments, I made the soup today and will be starting this diet. I am excited to know that people have dropped pounds from eating it. I hope to have the same success as most of you. Will be back in a week for updates.
Great soup so far. Do I have to eat 3 cups at a sitting? I’m having trouble finishing the 2 cups I got. What about drinks? Is there anything else I can drink other then water? What about coffee? Can I have that in the mornings or nothing but water while on this diet? These were the only questions I had. thanks
I started the diet today and although the soup is very tasty it is more like a chili to me. I also did not get nearly as much as the recipe stated. I will see how it goes for the next 2 days, whether I lose any pounds or not. It is very filling and satisfying!
I been eating the for three days, lost two punds, but I am getting a lot of gas and heart burn, what can i do to prevent this, the soup is great, don’t want to stop
My boyfriend and I used the soup for three days. It was absolutely yummy and filling. I lost 6 pounds and my boyfriend lost 8. You will not go hungry with this one. I would recommend this recipe to others in fact, I am making it again this week to try it a little longer. I even tripled the batch.
I still dont understand why you say this makes 16 cups ,,,,i measured everything exactly both times i cooked this and only come up with 9 cups. I will say this is my families new favorite chili recipe!!!! made it yesterday and another batch today! we can only eat about 1 1/2 cups at a sitting. My husband and I both lost 1 pound overnight but we are also exercising about an hour a day so arnt sure if its the soup .. just the exercise.. or both!! Either way we are going to try to stick to it for a week and see what we can loose!
I made this soup last night and it is fantastic. However, mine only yeilded 10 cups. I made it with chicken so I’m curious if the turkey or beef versions yeild more. I’m trying ground turkey in my next batch.
Would be very helpful if there were dry bean to canned bean ratios. I picked up dry beans at the store because I could get enough for 4 batches for the price of two cans. Can you provide this please?
Also, would there be any harm in adding other vegetables like squash, green beans, or peas to the veggie mix? I know the nutritional stats would be a little different, but I couldn’t get past two cups without feeling full.
Vivian…I hope I get the same results as you got!!!! lol
I made a pot roast yesterday in the crock pot and had so much left over I decided to use that instead of the ground beef. It worked fine. The soup is delicious and I was VERY full after eating it. I hope using the pot roast didn’t mess it up for me though 🙂
Hi There:
Peas and squash would not be a good veggie selection although zucchini and string beans would be for the soup if you want to jazz it up some more.
With regard to the dry bean vs. canned beans…we will look into this. Do not have any equivalents for you right now.
Stay tuned.
I, too, do not understand where the 16-cup serving is coming from. I think either Woman’s World or the author made a mistake on that part.
My husband and I are doing this together because he’s been stuck at a plateau for two weeks and I’m at 204.5 and want to get into onederland ASAP. Anyway, we came up with only 9 cups of soup from this recipe this morning…48 ounces less than it claimed to yield. So I am going to take some of your suggestions and just add more water because it is rather thick.
For the most part, neither my husband nor myself have felt hunger all day long today. In fact, I only ate 2 cups worth tonight because it’s so filling. Maybe when we thin it out with the water in tomorrow’s batch it won’t be as filling. But I am very satified with just the 2 cups tonight.
I hope we both get a good weight loss tomorrow morning. Congratulations to everyone else whose doing this and had success.
I purchased the magazine a few days ago and I made the soup today. I started following the diet plan with eggs in the morning and soup for lunch and dinner with fruit in between as snacks. I did have a few bites of rice today. But, I feel very very bloated and I don’t know why. Do you think I need to add extra of any ingredient or will the bloating go away?
Thank you!
can anyone respond to my problem….? has anyone experienced this before? What are your experiences with the soup? 🙂
and it is delicious!
On day 2 of the soup diet. Weighed myself this morning and have already lost 4 pounds. The soup is very good and I did get 15 cups out of it, Probably add a little water to it, when I make the next batch tomorrow as it is a little thick for a soup.
Paulina – I didn’t have any bloating. The soup does have a lot of fiber in it. If you haven’t eaten a lot of fiber rich foods previously, it may be that you will get a bit of bloating and gas. It should settle down or you could try taking one of the gas reducing products, that are on the market.
I noticed that the question (Sandy 10/01) was not answered. She asked about coffee. What about beverages and artificial sweetners?
One cup of coffee daily would be OK as it fits into the complete Fat Flush program. No artificial sweeteners — just Stevia or Stevia Plus or Flora Key ( which can be obtained through unikeyhealth.com). Water throughout the day spiked with a twist of lemon and lime will bring the best results…
On another note, Ladies: We are currently looking for women who have lost sizeable amounts of weight or inches on Fat Flush Diet Soup. If you would like to be featured in another woman’s magazine, let me know, please. We need before and after pictures with the results of your weight and measurements (approximate will do for the before) ASAP. If you remain on this for a week, that would be great. Please send your pics and a couple of
paragraphs (need your height, weight, age).
The address is [email protected].
Email should be titled “Fat Flush Soup Results”
Getting to my ideal weight has consumed my life, and I know for sure Flat Flush productser works. However, sometimes we need to change up things to get faster results.
I did notice that the diet soup recipe was listed, but the meal plan was not. So would it be possible for the meal to be listed as well? You see, I live in the Virgin Islands and if its so impossible for you all to get that specific issue, imagine me.
I also believe that in order to have the weight loss results that we so desire both the soup and the meal plan has to be done together. Please help and thank you.
Ann Louise,
Can you give me some tips about the soup diet? This is my second day and I am still bloated and constipated. Should I add any more ingredients?
Thank you!
Paula – See our comment on October 4th blog. The beans may be making you bloated. Sometimes adding more cayenne or taking a digestive enzyme that helps to digest beans could help out here. Also, many women find that more magnesium is also helpful to combat constipation.
I was looking for the September issue with the fat flush diet and it was no longer available. I wanted to know what the rest of the meal plan was? I now it involved eggs for for breakfast or shake. dinner, chicken breast and??? Help, Please.
Villa: Check out October 4th blog to see the complete Fat Flush Diet Soup Plan.
I have made the flush soup diet from the 10/3/2011 issue and cannot find in. I even tried on line and still can’t find it. It had jalapenos, black beans, spinach, chicken, tomatoes. Can you please send me a copy?
Thanks Ginni
Ginni, here’s the link to the 2011 article and recipe. https://annlouise.com/2011/10/04/my-famous-fat-flush-soup-recipe/

Paula: Dr. Ann Louise is available by appointment only. Contact [email protected] for a fee schedule and more information.
BTW, if you are still having problems, you might simply omit the beans and see how you do!
Hi All! My husband and I have been doing this for 2 days. We are both down 1.5 lbs so far. Are there any variations to the soup recipe? I will make another batch tomorrow and would like a bit of variety. Thanks for your help!
You can vary the veggies and spices but to get the benefit, the foundational recipe is “it”!
Sorry, but can you list a few other veggies that would be “approved” for the soup? We are both having great success and would like to continue but want to be sure we do not add veggies that might not agree with the program.
Thanks SO much for your help and your quick response!
Would turnips and rutabagas be ok for the vegies on the snack list? I love them but, I am thinking they might have a high glycemic value? I am crossing my fingers on this one!
What about using tofu? I saw the question asked before but no response. I am a vegetarian and really want to try this.
Hi!
I am a few days into the Fat Smash Diet, but it’s not working (because the detox phase is killing me and I”m getting bored with food).
My question is will this plan still work although I just tried another “detox”.? If I am already on restricted calories (ok, I’ve cheated…a lot) can this still work?
I want to get the book, but I’m wanting to give this one week “detox” a try before wasting money on the book (would be a waste to get the book if I find that the detox phase doesn’t work).
Also..can one consume coffee or green tea while on the plan?
Please advise.
Thank you in advance for your response.
Signed,
Desperately wanting to lose 30lbs.
I really want to know about using tofu….I was planning to make the soup and begin the plan tomorrow. Please let me know if it will be as effective. Thanks!!
Can I add any kind of cheese to this soup?? Like a soy based cheese??
I made the soup today and had a serving for dinner. I really enjoyed the soup but it gave me heartburn. Is this abnormal, should I be concerned?
Thanks!
Jenn- tofu is permitted in small amounts, a couple times per week!
Jennifer- adding cheese will most likely affect you weight loss results, but would be fine for someone looking to maintain their weight. Soy products are not Fat Flush Friendly as they are high in copper and can increase estrogen, which creates a whole host of problems!
Sharron- My guess is that the heartburn was from the acidity in the tomatoes. You can try a 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in a glass of water after your next serving to see if that helps!
What kind of fruits and vegetables are acceptable on this diet???
I made up this soup last night, but I only got 10 cups. The recipe says you should get 16. I thought I would have enough for 3 days. Did anyone else have this problem?
Norma, you can see a list of approved fruits and veggies at http://www.smoothieshakedown.com
Arlene and Lora- I added one cup of water and one cup of no sodium broth. This is the best way to stretch the recipe (add as much as you like!)
I started the soup on Monday & on Thursday when I checked my weight I had lost 7.8 pounds. Waiting on the book. Can’t wait to continue with the great weight loss.
Where can I purchase the fat flush protein mix?
A friend of mine at work, and myself tried the soup diet for 3 days, and also cheated, but lost 4pds each, and have a ton of energy, it is an awesome soup and we love it….so much better than the cabbage soup diet, because you can change the beans and you can change the meat, I’m going to make another batch and follow it more seriously this time…So what if it dosen’t make as much as some of you glas thought it would, Just make some more, it does WORK and very healthy.

Sharon- Thank you for sharing your success!
I wish you would publish the recipe for the soup …I purchased the magazine and then misplaced it. I really wanted to give it a try.
Becky- It’s been published! Here is the link 🙂

i’m going to buy all the things i need tomorrow ever since my bf and i got together we have gained weight about 10 or 15 pounds i’m hoping to lose it all in 3 weeks has anyone lost that much in 3 weeks and would working out throw off the diet?
does this diet work for men as well ? or is it just a women diet ?
Ivy- I’m betting that you can achieve those kind of results with the right type of exercise! Try lighter activities like walking, stretching, yoga, and rebounding to help move your lymph and shed the extra pounds quickly.
Lavelle- I have heard some amazing results from both men and women following this diet.
I wanted to detox after Thanksgiving. I’m 10 pounds heavier than usual so I’m not too much overweight – currently 130. I’m having trouble consuming the amount of food on the plan. I used the egg recipe this morning and had trouble finishing it. I wasn’t even slightly hungry for 5 hours after that. At that time, I ate 1 1/2 cups of the soup and felt very full. I ate another 1 1/2 cups 4 hours later. I don’t think I can eat another 3 cups before the day is over. Do you have to eat all of what’s suggested? I couldn’t even begin to eat the snacks.
I would cut the portion to whatever you’re comfortable with- probably 1 cup. To keep your metabolism revved up, it is recommended to eat every 3-4 hours, so plan your portions to allow you to do that!
I am doing the One Day Detox tomorrow and was wondering if I can follow it up the following day with this Soup Diet or do I have to do the 3 day sequel for the Detox before moving to this Soup? It seems it would work ok. It sounds like alot of people are getting good results just from the Soup so maybe I should just skip the Detox all together? Any suggestions?
Is it okay for me to double the recipe so my fiance and I can have plenty for the week?
Absolutely. It makes wonderful meals this time of year.
Hi Susan-
Many people have been experiencing dramatic weight loss results from the soup diet alone! So that is certainly an option. If you were using it as a follow up to the Fast Track Detox Diet, i highly recommend adding spinach or kale to the soup, or focusing on getting plenty of fresh greens along with your daily intake of soup.
Brandie- Go for it girl! It keeps well in the fridge for about 5 days, and may also be frozen!
I started my diet on Tuesday 1/10, wieghed my self at doctors office on Friday and I already lost 7 pounds!!!
The weekend is the hardest as I am home all day, not as busy and there is always some place we need to go; BD, Annivesary party, Family BBQ! That was the hardest , but I kept to my diet, munched on salad and drank lots of peppermint tea.
TO ADMINISTRATOR:
The meats that were chosen are all farily high in protien. I have my husband on the diet with me and he does not care for red meats or turkey. CHicken is what we have used and he asked if we could sub the meat for shrimp?
Not even a pinch of salt to the soup ?
Hi Josie, Feel free to use shrimp!
Amber, as per Fat Flush protocol, you may add 1/4 teaspoon salt per day to the food you eat if you tend to have low blood pressure.
Do you know the calories per serving — looks like the slimming soup is 2 to 3 cups/serving.
Made either with….
1. Lean All White Turkey
2. Skinless Chicken Breast
3. Sirloin Ground Beef
Terry: This soup combination is not about the calories. It’s the combination of foods and having enough protein to rev up your metabolism. Any of the means you mentioned will work really well.
Hello, I would like to know if adding celery is ok, but not omit anything. also will I get the same results if I can only eat 2-3 cups per day? and once again do I have to add the protein powder to smoothies and flaxseeds? Its really hard to eat that much in a day, I did try it 3 days but cheated so Im being more serious now, I have to ;ose 15 lbs yet this month before the 23rd. Thank you so much! have a great day!
You do need to have enough protein while you are doing this plan. You definiately need to have the protein powder in the smoothies. The flaxseeds are helpful, but you could even put them in your soup. Hope you did well!
What about substitutions for animal protein in the soup?
You can add an extra 1/2 c. of beans.
The woman’s day I purchased soup detox was. 3lbs ground meat – 2 onions chopped-2 zucchini chopped-1cup chopped daikon radish-1Tbs minced garlic-92 oz bone broth- 2(15oz) cans beans rinsed-2(14oz)cans of crushed tomatoes-3Tbs.chili pwd.2Tbs.lime juice -2tsp.turmeric 1/2 cup chopped cilantro chopped-1/2 cup parsly chopped different than any recipes I have read here
I did the same thing and can’t find it online at all
I can’t find the special radishes. Are they sold year round? The grocery stores I’ve gone to don’t have them/ Is there a substitute?
