On days during the Sacred Heart Diet when you can have vegetables, it might not hurt to have a few sweet potatoes. While the tasty vegetable doens’t look like much when it’s raw, it sure can satisfy your sweet tooth and help you mix the diet up a bit. Those who are on their first round of the Sacred Heart detox diet should typically stick very close to the original menu but a few adaptations (careful ones) in future cycles can help you continue to get results and satisfy your cravings.
Sweet Potatoes are extremely healthy and you can add them to your soup as well as to stir fry dishes. Why not make some baked sweet potato fries as well?
Try spritzing them with a little bit of Pam cooking spray, cutting them into french fry-sized bites (or crinkles) and spreading them into a single layer. Baking with some spices ( pepper, paprika, and seasoning salt works nicely)
Bake at about 425 for 20-30 minutes, flipping half way through. Keep an eye on them.
Tip: If you’re cooking them on a protein day, you can dip them in egg whites to increase the crispiness.

On the sacred heart diet, some people are a bit weirded out by the idea of eating soup for breakfast. Is it really necessary?
In a word, Yes. Although it might seem unusual to you the first time you do it, it’s important that you do eat breakfast on the diet. Some try to skip breakfast and wait until lunch time but in reality, you aren’t doing yourself any favours and could be slowing down results. Your metabolism needs breakfast early in the morning so you can tell your body to start metabolising food again. This will help your body more easily metabolise the food you eat later on in the day as well.
On certain days there are fruits allowed on the menu so this makes breakfast simple but on day two, for instance, there isn’t any fruit so your options are: soup or some of the ingredients that are in the soup. Fried tomatoes (not too much butter) could be a nice choice for you or you can make a wrap using lettuce and filling with other raw or cooked vegetables. You might even feel like a plain tomato soup just on day two so that you’ve eaten something to get you through until mid-morning snack. Soup for breakfast isn’t all that strange, considering the fact that you probably already have hot liquids anyway. Even a small cup of soup will set your body on the right track toward detoxification and weight loss.
Would love some creative day 2 breakfast ideas from those who’ve done the diet!

There are quite a few diets listed online now that suggest you do a colon cleanse while you diet. In a detox diet, you are trying to rid your body of toxins and the colon can be harboring fugitive bacteria! Cleansing your colon could help you in many ways including:
- Removing several pounds of waste from your body
- helping to flatten a formerly bloated tummy
- increasing your energy
- clear up your skin
- help you have regular bowel movements
- increase your colon transit time (which is better for health AND weight loss!)
If you’re considering a colon cleanse during a cleansing diet, you don’t want to take a laxative. A typical laxative can cause colon dependence because it causes the colon muscles to contract. Over time, your bowel may lose bowel tone so may require this intervention to function, so it’s best to avoid laxatives! There are natural ways to cleanse your colon safely.
How do you safely cleanse your colon?
-High fiber food such as psyllium husks
-Oxygen colon cleansers (like Oxy Powder)
Food can help you significantly and most people don’t get the recommended 25 grams of fiber a day (most get 1/4 of the daily recommended fiber intake!) but if you’re on a diet like Sacred Heart you obviously can’t take food that’s not on the allowed-food list. A cleanser that oxygenates your system helps scrub your colon clean. A cleanser like Oxy Powder has benefits to your overall health as well with Germanium 132 which is getting increasing reports of major health benefits.
Colon cleansing can provide shocking results. You might be surprised at just how much fecal matter has been building up in your system. The longer it putrifies in your colon, the more chance of it causing long term health problems for your digestive system and it can even lead to colon cleansers. Those with a healthy colon have better immune systems and can better fight off disease and bacteria.
Colon cleansing is not an obesity cure but can be part of the solution because it will help facilitate the digestive process and the faster your transit time, the better your body will absorb nutrients and remove potential toxins that could invoke havoc on your health.
The Sacred Heart Soup Diet is more than just a fad diet with rapid weight loss; it can also be a springboard to a healthier lifestyle.
