The Diet Soup

The diet soup was developed some years ago in an American hospital in order to lose weight quickly obese patients undergoing surgery. It gives pride to a vegetable soup adorned with slimming. It helps to lose weight safely, but after 2 weeks of diet, it necessarily takes the weight.

The Principle: The basis of this scheme is a soup called “burn fat” to eat the main meals. It is in fact an ordinary soup of vegetables, which should not be mixed or thrown (as it is more satisfying). The rest of the diet is typically composed of foods rich in protein and very thin (thin white cheese or yogurt, fish, lean meat) and fruits (in limited quantities). Additional capsules or tea (green tea, pineapple, cherry tail) are supposed to improve weight loss and elimination of fats. A multivitamin is also scheduled to fight against possible deficiencies. The scheme itself lasts 7 days, followed by a stabilization program a week also.

Critique: This plan may be seduced by the side organized and rigorous (menus are charged for each meal). But it is hardly different from a balanced hypocaloric diet and severe (less than 1000 kcal per day during the first week, barely 1200 kcal during the stabilization period). It may be appropriate for women with low physical activity, but is too restrictive for men and for anyone who spends a lot. Note that the virtues attributed to the miracle soup are very overstated. Simply put, it’s a clever way to eat vegetables, and plenty of water.

The soup diet allows course to lose weight. But as it all very low calorie diet, weight regain is inevitable, even after completing the stabilization phase.
