I've seen that before too, AND they even sell pills of it.  I just think it's another rip off and a way for someone to get rich off poor people like us that need to lose weight and have given up on everything else.  I would't waste your money, veggies are the cheapest ingrediants around.  I think beachy's idea is great!  I got up this morning at 5:30am and started making the soup,  would have much rather woken up to it brewing...well, probably kinda gross to most people, but I must admit, I do eat the soup for breakast. That way I don't give myself any time to think about eating something else.
Thank you for the info though, perhaps someone will try it or has tried it and will give a shout out about it!   

what if me and my sister did the diet together... how long do you think the soup would last between the both of us. i told her whenever we would start running out that she could make more for us since i am always at work.

I tried adding to the crockpot and it worked great.  Only thing is my crockpot was not big enough.  So I did half in there and half in a huge pot for me to cook later.  Does anyone know if this freezes good?  I think I saw in the past it should only be in your fridge for a week, and by the looks of it, I will never eat this in a week.  There is so much there!

Years ago (I'm talking over 30!)  the version that was being done then did freeze well.  I can't remember if the ingredients were the exact but if not  were very close.

As for the amount, I made a double batch six days ago for my husband & me and we're already out of it!  The pot was so large I couldn't even pick it up!  I also dipped what we needed into a smaller pot to reheat each time.

haven't been on the scales yet ...
