The 7 Day Soup DietThe Convenient ProgramThis 7 Day Soup Diet Program is a convenient diet concept based on the successul cabbage soup diet. 
For your better understanding I explain in the following some important elements of the convenient 7 day soup diet program. (1) Breath by the bookRelax yourself, lay down and put a book on your abdomen.Now inhale, push the book upwards, while using your stomach muscles. Pull the book downward with the help of your stomach muscles when you exhale. Make sure that your exhalations and inhalations are of Practice for 10 to 15 minutes and eventually after the 7 day soup diet program (2) Fasting and Exercising:My special tip: Before breakfast go for half an hour outside and take some fresh air.Daylight entices serotinin, the hormone for happyness – this brings you in good mood and represses your appetite. Activities wake up your metabolism. And activities with an empty stomach (3) Mini WorkoutBefore any kind of exercise, not only while on 7 day soup diet, it isimportant to warm up your body for about 5-10 minutes e.g marching on the spot will do the trick. In the following you'll find a quick and easy workout I've found on the web posted by Anjali Mukerjee.
Toning your Shoulders, Chest and ArmsGet youself some weights however two tins from the cupboardcan substitute well for weights. Start with 'upright rows to strengthen your shoulders. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, and put your arms down by your sides. Now tighten your tummy and push your pelvis forward (or tuck your bum in). Then slowly bend your arms, leading with your elbows, so that your hands lift up towards your chin and your elbows stick out to the sides. Bring the weights up to chest level, then lower them back down slowly, until your arms are straight - this all without hunching your shoulders. Don't lock your elbows. Do three sets of ten repetitions. Next, try the 'shoulder press'. Check your posture, making sure your tummy is tight and your bum tucked in. Then, position your legs in a split stance so that one leg is in front of the other. Starting with your arms bent, your wrists at shoulder level and your palms facing away from you, lift the bar above your head until your arms are straight. Don't lock your elbows. Lower your arms until your wrists are level with your shoulders. Do three sets of 10 repetitions. Lower Body
Starting Position - Standing up with feet together and arms at sides.Lunge one leg forward making sure that the back knee almost touches the ground but never actually does. Now lunge back leg in front of the other and repeat this "walking" motion across the room. Don't pull any muscles by moving to quickly; the slower the better and the more you will feel the exercise working. Use a long hallway for this or go back and forth a few times in a room. Do 20 lunges per leg. Hold hand weights if you are up for it!
Crunches for a sixpack ab
Lie on your back with your legs draped across the surface of a flatbench, with your thighs perpendicular to the floor. Place your hands behind your head, then raise your upper back and shoulders from the floor and attempt to touch your head on your knees, now this will not be possible but raise as far as possible. Do 15 reps for 3 sets. (4) Fat Burner Drink:
This is also nowadays one of my favorite drinks. Mix together in a blender: small pieces of ½ Papaya (peeled and seeds removed), juice of 1 lemon, and 1 orange, 1 cup cold drinking whey and 2 tbsp protein powder – mix 15 seconds! What a taste! (5) Protein Banana Shake/DrinkThe perfect shake for the "banana day"of the 7 day soup diet program: Mix together in a blender: 1 banana, 1 tsp. lemon juice, 1 cup butter milk - 15 seconds, add 2 tbsp protein powder and mix again for 10 seconds. Enjoy this tasteful shake! |
