Day 29 ~ Tis the Season for the 7 Day Diet Weight Loss Wonder Soup!

After all the rich and delicious foods during the holidays,  my husband and I are so ready to detox and eat healthy. I've heard rave reviews about "The Cabbage Soup Seven Day Diet" being a quick start to weight loss and a great way to detox. It's supposed to help rid your body of uric acid build up. I think I tried this years ago and felt much better afterward. So here's the recipe and the week's instructions to go with it just in case you'd like to give it a shot!

(If anyone has tried this before, I'd love to hear your review. I think I remember my sister Rita doing this a couple of years ago!)

Hope you have better luck with this soup than I did. I've tried it...yuck! But in the soups defense I hate cabbage...probably why I didn't stick with it.
