Let's Do Lunch Community

Hi, I have the red book - read the blue book first ...  and the read the red book a couple of times..  I had a bad day today and I need to find the Fruit and Soup Flush -- I sure can't seem to find it --  I thought it was a page that discussed it!  HELP  ..  point me to where it is - I also need to send to a friend of mine as well.  thanks!

Here is a link to a thread here that Debbie started.  There is a group soup/fruit flush on Monday that anyone can hop in on if you feel the need.  Or you can do it anytime on your own, but especially if you have had a day eating off plan.  I have the blue book and it is on page 63.  Hope this helps out!

i'm hopping on board for the flush on monday.  past two days i have felt bloated and like i'm gaining or something (i know i'm not thought) i've been eating good and healthy...thinking i'm just stalling!

I'll be in on the flush too Lizzy!  It was easy to do last Monday, so I want to repeat it.  It did not seem limiting at all! 

what did you eat on monday Kathie?  i think i'll make the pizza soup.  that's 'legal' right?!  i'll have to read up on it again.

Lizzy go to the thread about it first.  You eat no meat the whole day.  I never made pizza soup...does it have meat?  It is LDL soups and all the fruit you want with no meat.  You can have popcorn and veggies too.  I made a bean soup for that day last week.  I think I might do Mary's tomato soup this week since I have not made it in awhile. 

pizza soup does have meat in it but i could always leave it out.  and use veggie broth instead of chicken.  i believe it calls for broth.  it's been a while since i've made it.  it's so good though.

thank you everyone -- and i found it in the red book now -- it is page 65.

I am up for doing this on Mondays too!  I'll give it a try.  thanks!

Lizzy, good idea to make one of your favorites and just leave the meat out but it does not matter if you use meat broth....just no meat.  I just thought you might want to know so you don't have to buy anything special. 

I think I'll join you all on Monday. Feeling a little yucky  and want to jump start the week. Thanks for the thread. I'll re-read that part. Happy weekend.

thanks Kathie!  now can we have beans and/or eggs in the morning?

Yep, I think beans and eggs are ok....consult Debbie's thread to be sure...good luck!

chipmunk says me too....my husband is off on mondays if I plan right it will be just another meal, he will not know i took the protein out for one day.Now lets guess how long it will take him to figure this out ..

...too funny chipmunk! 

Kathi,

You are always so helpful!  Thanks for taking the time to be a resource for all of us. 

tarcyr, I did a fruit flush one day but I stay away from soup bc I really don't have time to make it and can't add any salt or too many spices without a skin reaction.  So I ate Fruit and veggies only. I lost 2 lbs that day  (I know, I know, we are not supposed to weigh--  but my clothes were tighter and I was sooo bloated and blah blah blah blah blah!)

It can definitely help a stall and it helps you press reset to get things rolling again.

Hello all
  Well I did the fruit and soup flush today -- had Mary's think tomato soup for lunch - some fruit for breakfast and a smoothie for dinner -- boy do I feel better!

Woo hoo, way to go!!!  I ended up having more of a no meat day.  I had some bean salad and raw veggies with my lunch soup and some corn this too.  But, it was a successful LDL day and I will try the fruit/soup flush again next week! 

Congrats on being successful with it and now you have the reward of feeling great! 

Julie - I think that I will do the fruit and veggies only too --  maybe some kidney beans -- but the soup was just too HOT for these 99 degree days!

ps, I lost 2lbs too ( I know I know... not good to look, but I had to cuz I sure felt better this morning)

does anyone know if you can have popcorn on Fruit Flush day? 

thanks!
Tracy

Tracy,
Yes Popcorn is allowed.  This is the post that explains the Fruit and Soup Flush and those who are doing it.  I think we should keep the posts together so people can understand it and get the help they want.

thanks Debbie!  I did read that post, well a good portion of it, but I kept getting lost, because it was so long.  Thanks for the quick reply!
