Day 1 - August 3, 2013

Weight - 97kg

Today I had the spinach, apple and celery soup. I was unable to get celery so replaced it with
parsley. The soup itself tasted good. It had a somewhat grainy texture similar to watermelon. I
ate two bowls of this soup in total and drank 1 liter of water as well. I felt good, did feel a little
hungry at first but found that by drinking the water it helped. The soup mate made the soup
perfectly and without hassle. At the end of the day i felt good and slept earlier than usual, I
actually found i slept much better and woke up easily the following morning. Overall no weight
loss as of yet but am feeling good and healthier.
The process for making the soup was so simple, I just chopped up all of the ingredients and put
them into the soup mate, pushed the button and around 30 minutes later the soup was ready
and was steaming hot. I also found that the soup mate kept the soup warm for a long period of
time so there was no need to reheat it when i went back for my second bowl.
Recipe 3: Spinach Apple Celery Soup
Ingredients:
1/4 cup onion, peeled and chopped
2 cups water
1/2 apple, peeled, cored and cubed
1 stalk celery with greens, diced and strings removed
1 cup baby spinach leaves, stems removed and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Procedure:
Add all the ingredients into the SoupMateTM blender jug. Close lid.
Place jug onto its base and connect to the socket.
Press ON/OFF button, then press SMOOTH SOUP button.
After 20 minutes the unit beeps and will automatically switch off.
Pour into bowls, serve and enjoy

Day 2 - August 4, 2013

Weight 97kg
After a refreshing nights sleep I woke up early feeling good. I was worried about getting hungry
so made myself a pot of green tea with cranberry. I drank this shortly after waking, around 3
mugs full in total, with 1/2 a teaspoon of honey total. I then prepared my soup for the day so it
would be there waiting should i feel hungry. This time I made the asparagus leek and spinach
soup. It was really delicious, much more of a creamy and smooth taste compared to yesterday. I
found that psychologically this worked well for me too as it tasted better than the day before and
was more thick which made me feel more full. I ate 3 bowls of soup today and really enjoyed
every bit of it. I also drank 1 liter of water on top of the 3 mugs of green cranberry tea.

Although no weight loss yet from yesterdays efforts I am feeling clean and lighter already. I also
felt quite tired in the afternoon and needed to sleep more.
Preparing the soup was as easy as the fist day using the soup mate and simply chopping and
putting the ingredients in hitting the button and letting it go. I have not had any problems with the
soup mate so far with burning or anything like that even when using the reheat button. Both
times the soup has come out perfect and tasty.
Here's the soup mate recipe i used;
Recipe 2. Asparagus Leek Spinach Soup
Ingredients:
1/3 garlic clove, peeled
1 cup leeks, sliced
2 cups water
250 grams asparagus, chopped
1/3 cup spinach, stems removed
and coarsely chopped
1/3 cup parsley, chopped
Procedure:
Add all the ingredients into the
SoupMateTM blender jug. Close lid.
Place jug onto its base and connect to
the socket.
Press ON/OFF button, then press
SMOOTH SOUP button.
After 20 minutes the unit beeps and
will automatically switch off.
Pour into bowls, serve and enjoy!

Day 3. 5th August 2013

Weight 95kg
Yay I've already lost 2kg! This really motivated me this morning! After just 2 days of the soup
mate 7day soup diet i have already dropped 2kgs which is great because I am a results driven
kind of person. I am also feeling good since it actually says on the soup mate book that you can
loose upto 4.5kgs in 7 days. On the morning of day 3 i am already almost half way there! I am

not completely surprised since all of the soups are made from fresh and natural ingredients so
you are bound to benefit from it as it's really how we are designed to eat.
I have found the hardest part is when my partner is eating my favorite foods around me but the
2kg's I have already lost has made me stronger and much more determined to see just how
much weight I can loose before the 7 days are up. I feel like the end is near and there is only 4
days left so I hope I can really maximize it and loose more than the 4.5kg's stated on the soup
mate book.
Today I went for the asparagus celery onion soup, popped it in the soup mate and once again
made it perfectly. I went for the asparagus soup again because i really enjoyed that creamy
consistancy from the day before. It was once again delicious. Today I made a little more and ate
5 bowls total of soup, 1 litre of water and 1 pot of green mint tea with total 1/2 teaspoon of
honey in the morning. I find the tea really helps with my mood in the morning and sets me up for
the day.
Looking forward to checking my weight tomorrow morning to see if there is any more weight
loss.
Here's the soup recipe I made today;
Asparagus Celery & Onion Soup
Ingredients:
1/4 cup onion, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup chives, chopped
2 cups water
250 grams asparagus, chopped
1 stalk celery with greens, diced
and strings removed
2/3 cup fresh baby spinach
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Procedure:
Add all the ingredients into the
SoupMateTM blender jug. Close lid.
Place jug onto its base and connect to
the socket.
Press ON/OFF button, then press
SMOOTH SOUP button.
After 20 minutes the unit beeps and
will automatically switch off.
Pour into bowls, serve and enjoy!
I made mine without the pepper as i don't like pepper personally.

Day 4. 6th August 2013

Weight 95kg
Ok so the 2kg is off and is staying off, am hoping by tomorrow morning i will have some more
weight loss to report. Going by the soup mate book it says you can loose 4.5kgs in just 7 days
so I am already almost half way there and I have 3 more days left of the diet after today, so far
so good!
I am feeling pretty good although was quite tired today and needed to take a nap. I can feel that
my body is actively flushing out all of the toxins in my body that is for sure. I am going to the
toilet a lot more frequently. Today I had the vegetarian borscht soup which was a really nice
change from the "Super Green" soups I have been eating. It was smooth and tasty and once
again was no problem preparing it simply in the soup mate. It seemed more filling, than the
previous days, it did contain a lot more ingredients as well. I also drank a whopping 2.5 liters of
water today as well, I did not drink any teas today.
Hoping for another drop in weight by morning.
Here's the soup recipe i used today;
Recipe 2: Vegetarian Borscht Soup
Ingredients:
1/4 cup onion peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove peeled
1 1/2 cups of water
1/3 cup of green cabbage shredded
2 1/2 small beets with greens peeled and quartered
1/2 cup carrots peeled and thinly sliced
1/3 cup parsnip peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup celery with greens diced and strings removed
2 medium tomatoes
2 tablespoon dill coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
I left out the parsnip and replaced the dill with basil as these were not available at my local
supermarket.

For the next 3 days I had the asparagas celery and onion soup as for me it was most filling and i
liked the texture.... also drank lots of water. I ended up loosing 6.9Kgs and was very happy with
the results! I recommend this diet for a detox or quick healthy weight loss solution. I found it
affected my whole body and my skin was looking much healthier as well.
If you decide to give it a go good luck... the soup making part is fun and easy just make sure
you drink a lot of soup and water to avoid feeling hungry.
