Cabbage soup diet. NOTE: You can modify the recipe any way you like. In order to lose weight you have to burn more calories then you consume. We highly recommend The Negative Calorie Diet™ book. This book is based on scientific research and more than 100 foods requiring your body to "BURN" more calories processing them through your digestive system than the actual calorie content of the food itself. This results in your body burning up the excessive stored fat! Learn how to eat healthy and lose weight regularly by choosing the right foods with The Negative Calorie Diet™ book

Ingredients
6 large green onions
2 green peppers
1 tomato
3 carrots
10 oz of Mushrooms
8 celery stalks
1/2 head cabbage
4 cups of organic chicken stock
8 cups of water
Directions
  1. Slice green onions, put in pot and start to sauté with cooking spray.

  2. Cut green pepper stem end off and cut in half, take seeds and membrane out. Cut the green pepper into bite size pieces and put in pot.

  3. Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, put in pot.

  4. Clean carrots cut into bite size pieces, put in pot.

  5. Slice mushrooms into thick slices (otherwise they will disappear in the soup), put in pot.

  6. If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of cayenne pepper (red pepper) now (1/3 teaspoon is quite a bit as the soup will get spicier as it cooks further).

  7. You can use beef or chicken bouillon cubes for seasonings. They have all the salt and flavors you will need.

  8. Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook for a long time (two hours works well).

  9. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  10. Eat all the soup you want, whenever you want for the next 7 days.
