Anyone have any experience with diet soups or similar plans? Like the Miracle Soup, aka various "Hospital" diet soups. Or, do you have any recipes for similar soups? Or whatever? For example (shortened this one).........

Soup - 6 large onions, 3 green peppers, 1 pkg dry onion soup mix, 1 large can of tomato or V-8 juice, 1 or 2 handfuls of barley, 1 head of cabbage, 1 large bunch of celery, a little garlic if desired. Cut vegetables and cover with water in (bloody) large pot. Boil 10 minutes. Cover, lower heat and simmer until vegetables are done (a couple of hours or more). Eat as much as you want of the following and as much soup as you want. The more soup you eat, the faster you will lose weight.

Day 1 Fruit. No bananas.

2 Vegetables. No dry beans, corn. One potato, with butter.

3 Fruit. Vegetables.

4 Up to 8 bananas and 8 glasses skin milk.

5 Up to 20 ounces Beef. Vegetables. 6 tomatoes. Min 8 glasses water.

6 Beef. Vegetables.

7 Brown rice. Unsweetened fruit juice. Vegetables.

Thanks in advance.
