Women's World magazine (except they called it "Fat Flush Soup"). To me that didn't sound so appitizing, so I changed it to "Slimming Vegetable Soup". It sounds simular to the "Cabbage Soup Diet".

HERE IS HOW THIS SOUP HELPS YOU GET SKINNY: LEAN GROUND BEEF, TURKEY OR CHICKEN: Protein not only boosts post-meal metabolism by 25% & stimulates production of fat-burning hormones, it has also been shown to dramatically reduce appitite! ONIONS: Onions are loaded with the mineral chromium, which helps improve levels of fat-storage hormones. BEANS: Beans are loaded with fiber so they help to fill you up, plus they stabilize blood sugar which reduces the amount of fat-storage hormones our bodies make. CAYENNE PEPPER: Studies have shown that the antioxidants that give cayenne it's heat can boost metabolism up to 20% for up to 30 minutes. PARSLEY & CILANTRO: They herbs help to relieve bloating by flushing toxins out of the body. They're also loaded with antioxidants, a type of nutrient that researchers have linked to low body fat. GARLIC: Preliminary studies show that a compound in garlic called allicin may prevent pre-fat cells from turning into full-blown fat cells. TOMATOES: Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C & they help burn fat 25% faster!
