The Sacred Heart Diet. It was originally rumored to have been part of a weight loss program for heart patients about to undergo surgery who needed to lose weight quickly. But that rumor has since been refuted and this diet is not backed by any hospital or medical program. This is not a long term solution to lose weight, but it will take some pounds off quickly for short term weight loss.
The Sacred Heart diet is a soup-based diet, and claims that you will lose 10-17 pounds in the first week. This may be true, but most of the weight will tend to be water - and will be gained right back very soon after the diet.
This diet is very clearly an unsustainable fad diet, but is not as nutritionally unsound as similar diets. Most of these diets claim some magical fat-burning science is involved, or that there is something special about the combination of foods. This is simply untrue - it is nothing more complex than a reduction in calories!
Day 1
Any fruit (except bananas). Cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most other fruits. Eat only soup and fruit today.
Day 2
All vegetables. Eat until you are full with fresh raw, cooked or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas or corn.
Eat veggies along with the soup.
A baked potato and dinner time with butter.
Don't eat any fruits through today.
Day 3
Eat all the soup, fruit and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato.
Day 4
Bananas and skim milk: Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup.
Day 5
Beef and tomatoes: you may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes, or as many as 6 tomatoes on this day. Eat the soup at least once today.
Day 6
Beef and veggies, eat to your heart's content of the beef and veggies today. You can even have 2-3 steaks if you like with green leafy veggies but no baked potato. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today.
Day 7
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies, until full (and eat the soup).
You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish.
Drinks Allowed
* Unsweetened juices
* Tea (also herbal)
* Coffee
* Cranberry juice
* Skim milk

Soup Recipe
* 1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes

* 1 large can of beef broth (no fat)

Season with salt, pepper curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, hot or Worcestershire sauce. Cut veggies in small to medium pieces. Cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook until vegetables are tender.

There is a natural Amino Acid called L-Carnitine, it works great at burning fat, weather you work out or not. Also, Omega 3 Fish oil targets body fat, allows you to burn it faster. My approach worked really good for me. It's the low carbs, high fat diet. It really works much faster than any other diet I've tried. Good Luck.

Chrystal meth! HA! Or crack, sorry but i think that would be the only way to lose that much weight in that short of a time period. And I am only kidding! Don't try it!
