Phase 3:  Soup Diet Plus Protein

You should use this protocol for no longer than 3 days. This diet is totally balanced, incorporating carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and fat. The  Soup is used as the base stock. You can either add the protein when you initially make the soup or add it at each meal. The choice is yours.

The portion sizes for each follows:

Add protein while the  Soup is simmering (about 30 minutes).

• lbs. - Lean ground beef (break up, brown in a skillet, and drain).
• 1 lb. - Your choice of lean steak (broil and cut into ¼” pieces).
• 28 oz - Skinless chicken breast (broil and cut into ¼” pieces).
• 32 oz - Your choice of fish (broil and cut into ¼” pieces).
• 36 oz - Water-packed tuna.

Add protein as you heat 8-12 ounces of the  Soup.

• 2 oz - Lean ground beef (break up, brown in a skillet, and drain).
• 2 oz - Your choice of lean steak (broil and cut into ¼” pieces).
• 3 oz - Skinless chicken breast (broil and cut into ¼” pieces).
• 4 oz - Your choice of fish (broil and cut into ¼” pieces).
• 4 oz - Water-packed tuna.

Daily Eating Instructions

• Eat one serving of a bran cereal of your choice (Fiber One, All Bran, Crude Bran) with 6 ounces of skim or 2% milk. The correct serving size is given on the cereal box.
