however, before you get started, i'd like to first point out a few things:
- DIET: the foods eaten, as by a particular person or group--with that being said, altho this allows you to lose excess weight it is not a quick fix, but a change of your eating habits to *help you become healthier overall.*
- COMMON SENSE : sound practical judgment that is independent of specialized knowledge, training, or the like; normal native intelligence.--with that being said, if you feel that you aren't getting the right amount of nutrients with this meal plan, then please by all means MODIFY it to suit your purposes. ie, if you are extremely active (like athletes) then of course you're going to need more calories than someone who sits at a desk all day.
also, i have not tried this diet, so i cannot give any first hand experiences for you all. however, i do intend to test it out soon, since it seems pretty reasonable.
now onto the Soup Diet:

The Amazing Soup Diet
Eat as much as you want...and lose 20 lbs fast. Bonus: The dinners are hearty, delicious — and ready in 20 minutes
If you like food, you’ll love our new diet. Every meal is packed with flavor — from hefty sandwiches (yes, you can have carbs) to super-filling soups and stews (we even added cheese).
So how can you inhale as much food as you like and still slim down? Here’s the trick: For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you’ll eat portion-controlled meals. But at any other time of day, you can have bowl after bowl of our nutrition-packed Hearty Vegetable Soup — since it’s only 45 calories per cup, you can knock back as much of it as you like and still lose weight.
The diet is simple: The day before you start, you’ll cook up a big batch of our basic soup. Then, each night of the week, you’ll mix two cups with extra ingredients to create a totally new soup, from Southwest Chili to Greek Fish Stew, in 20 minutes or less. These diet dinners are all family-friendly, so you don’t have to prepare two separate meals each night. For breakfast and lunch, you’ll stick to the food plan (see link below). When you need a snack, dip into your vat of veggie soup. Or if you’re craving crunch, fill up on as many cucumber slices, celery sticks, zucchini wedges, and bell pepper strips as you please. And twice a week, have a 100-calorie treat.
