A dietary formulation designed to promote rapid weight loss and detoxification, often involving a broth-based preparation rich in non-starchy vegetables, herbs, and spices. For example, various iterations include ingredients such as cabbage, celery, tomatoes, and onions. These are combined in a flavorful, low-calorie liquid medium, intended to be consumed in large quantities over a short period.
The potential benefits of such a dietary approach may include reduced caloric intake, increased hydration, and enhanced excretion of metabolic waste products. Historically, similar soup-based regimens have been utilized as a means of initiating weight loss programs or addressing digestive discomfort. The emphasis on whole, unprocessed foods may contribute to a temporary feeling of well-being and reduced bloating.
