Have you heard about the whole foods diet plan, involving seven days of soup variations?

It is a pretty awesome diet!

It’s easy, affordable, sustainable, and one that can be prepared one week in advance!

How’s that for “Simple”?

 

Whole Foods Diet Plan

Whole Foods Diet Plan

 

This diet was published in the Good Housekeeping magazine in 2000 and has been very successful for many folks. It involves making their “Basic Vegetable Soup” and adding different ingredients to it each day for dinner, which makes it totally different.

This helps mix things up a bit so that it doesn’t seem like you’re eating the same thing every day.

In fact, I served the “Minestrone Soup” to my finance for dinner over the weekend and he didn’t even know he was eating such a healthy whole food meal!

Don’t get me wrong, it will seem expensive when you go grocery shopping for all the ingredients that make up this whole food diet, but many of the ingredients, will last you much longer than a week.

I found that I actually had many of the ingredients in my cabinet already.
