Is it pos­si­ble to lose weight on soups alone? Yes! The soup diet, which is based on first cours­es, is very effec­tive and fair­ly easy to tol­er­ate.

It’s no secret that the most dif­fi­cult thing in any diet is to lim­it your­self to food and not feel hun­gry. With the soup diet, you are not in dan­ger. Its dif­fer­ence from oth­ers is that the soup diet works on the prin­ci­ple: the more you eat, the more you lose weight. Anoth­er plus of such a diet: weight is reduced quick­ly. In just a week, you can lose from 5 to 8 kilo­grams! How­ev­er, nutri­tion­ists warn: you should resort to a soup diet a max­i­mum of 3–4 times a year. One thing is for sure: the advan­tage of the soup diet is rapid weight loss, lack of hunger, cleans­ing of the body.

soup diet rules

• It is enough to pre­pare a soup with a min­i­mum of fat in the morn­ing and eat it dur­ing the day in the same small por­tions.
• You need to cook only from fresh veg­eta­bles.
• You can not seize the first dish with bread.
• Drink at least four glass­es of water a day, in addi­tion to soup.
• It is rec­om­mend­ed to sit on a soup diet for no more than sev­en days, since the body does not receive all the nec­es­sary sub­stances with veg­eta­bles. That is why it is rec­om­mend­ed to take addi­tion­al vit­a­mins dur­ing this peri­od.
• For the peri­od of the soup diet, exclude alco­hol, car­bon­at­ed drinks, con­fec­tionery and flour prod­ucts, fried and fat­ty foods.
