This diet also allows you to eat as much as you’d like…well, almost.
For this diet you’ll need to each three, balanced, small meals, but then in between meals you can have as much vegetable soup as you’d like. The diet sets out specific meals for you to eat during your first week and then provides a recipe for you to follow for the vegetable soup itself.
This soup takes about 20 minutes to prepare and cooks for about 50 minutes:
1. 5 lbs of onions, chopped
1 lb sliced carrots
4 stalks of celery, sliced
2-3 large garlic cloves, crushed
56 oz of crushed or whole tomatoes, with juice
½ of a small green cabbage, sliced
3 medium zucchini, sliced
¾ lb string beans
6 cups of water
1 can chicken broth (use low sodium broth if you have a history of heart disease)
2 bags of baby spinach

Cooking directions: Sauté in cooking spray the onions, carrots, garlic, and celery for about eight minutes. Add the tomatoes and liquid, cabbage, string beans, water, broth, and some salt and pepper. After a few minutes, add the zucchini and spinach leaves. Bring to a boil, stir, and then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
This is a great staple food for people who are taking diet pills. For Xenical takers, it’s good because it’s fat free, so it won’t disturb the digestive system, and for people who take Phentermine or Slimmer X, it’s good because it’ll adequately fill them up, especially since their appetites have been curbed.

With so  many diet plans available, it is important to remember that not all diet plans will work for you. However, you can make up your own diet plan by knowing what kind of diet plans work.
Here are some diet plans that have worked for many. Try incorporating some of these guidelines to your weight loss plan.
•    Cutting carbohydrates – There are many diet plans that involve cutting your consumption of carbohydrates, such as the Atkins diet and the Low Carb diet.. The theory is that lowering your carbohydrate intake will allow your body to burn another source of energy such your fat reserves. Although this is a strict dietary regimen, it works to help lose weight and for some weight loss has been significant. Similar known low carb diet plans include the Hampton’s diet, South Beach diet and the Zone diet.
•    Exercise – No matter how much you diet and restrict your calorie intake, there is a limit of how much weight you will lose with dieting. The key to shedding pounds and keeping the weight off is to incorporate regular exercise within your weight loss plan. Exercising will not only help you lose weight, it will also tone your body, and help you build muscle mass which will in turn help you burn more calories over the long run. A fitness program is a great way to keep your mind fit as well, as studies have shown it to improve your moods, self esteem and it boost your immune system. Additional benefits include lowering your risk for heart disease, diabetes and cholesterol.
Here are a few tips to help you start exercising:
◦    Take the stairs instead of the elevator
◦    Park the car a few blocks away from your house, work and supermarket
◦    Get a walking buddy and enjoy the fresh air during the evening or even during a lunch break
◦    Start taking a diet pill that will increase your metabolism. These pills (like SlimmerX) have the convenient side-effect of boosting your energy level which is crucial to jumpstart your exercise routine.
