Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital Seven Day Diet ? Heart Diet
Any prescribed medications will not hurt you on this diet. Continue the plan as long as you wish. It is used for very overweight and heart patients who need to lose weight rapidly before surgery.

Day 1

All Fruits. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want to eat.

Exclude banana’s, they are far too high in sugars. Cantaloupes and watermelons are lower in calories ? (be prepared to urinate several times per day if eating watermelon)! Eat only your soup and fruits the first day. For drinks, use unsweetened teas, cranberry juice, and water.

Day 2

All Vegetables. Fresh, raw, frozen or canned. Eat green leafy vegetables and stay away from beans, peas, and corn. Eat all with you soup. At dinnertime on this day reward yourself with a big baked potato, white or a Yam. Eat all the soup you want, but no fruit.

Day 3

Mix Day 1 and Day 2. Eat all the soup, fruit and vegetables you want but no baked potato.
(If you have eaten for three days as above and not cheated, you may have lost 5-7 pounds.)

Day 4

Banana’s or cantaloupes and skimmed milk. Eat as many as three bananas or 1 cantaloupe, and drink as many glasses of skimmed milk as you can on this day. Banana’s are high in carbohydrates and potassium, cantaloupe is higher in potassium, skim milk is high in carbohydrates and calories, which you will need all of these on this day. You need protein and calcium in the skim milk to lessen your craving for sweets.

Day 5

Beef and tomatoes. You may eat 10-20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes, (try a Salisbury dish using spray oil to brown your meat first) or as many as six fresh tomatoes on this day to wash away the uric acid in your body. Eat your soup at least once on this day.

Day 6

Low-fat beef and vegetables, eat till your hearts content of fruit and vegetables on this day. You can even have 2 to 3 steaks if you like with green leafy vegetables. No baked potato. Be sure to eat your soup at least once.

Day 7

Brown rice, unsweetened juice and vegetables. Again stuff, stuff, stuff yourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once. If yo have not cheated on the above diet, you will have lost at least 10-17 pounds. If you have lost more than 15 pounds stay off the diet for two days before resuming.

This seven day diet plan can be used as often as you need. If correctly followed it will clean your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being as never before.

After six days of this process, you may begin to feel lighter by at least 10 and probably 17 pounds and have an abundance of energy. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference.

This is a fast, fat burning diet. The soup secret is that you will be burning more calories than you will be taking in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. You must be off the diet for 24 hours before taking any alcoholic beverages. If not, your are putting an incredible stress on your liver!

Because everyone’s digestive system is different, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three you will have more energy than when you began if you do not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, if you find you bowel movement has changed, eat one tablespoon of oat bran or such fiber and lots of water, or one teaspoon of Guar Gum, and at least 64 ounces, (8- 8 oz. Glasses). Although, you may have black coffee, you may find that you don’t need the stimulant after the third day.

No, No, No’s… No Breads, No Fried Foods, No Alcohol, and No Carbonated Beverages… Stick with water, unsweetened green-tea, black coffee, fruit juices, (cranberry juice) and skimmed milk.

The fat burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry. Eat as much as you want as often as you like. The more soup you eat the more you lose, since it requires more calories to digest than what you consume! You may eat broiled or baked chicken (no skin) instead of beef. Fish may be substituted for beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef on the other day.
