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.

While you don’t *have* to exercise during the Sacred Heart Diet, it’s good to know how to continually burn calories. Some people find they have the energy during the diet to do some exercise. Some wait until their 7 day cleanse is complete first.
There are a lot of ways to burn calories without going to the gym. See the below excerpt from the Cereal Dieter:
Did you know that housework burns calories? Does that make you want to do more housework? Ok, probably not but here are some tips to burn more calories while you do housework.
Vacuuming? Tighten everything with each stroke and turn it into a lunge
- Lunge while you wait. Waiting for anything? Do lunges while you do. This might be: waiting for a pot to boil, for the microwave to beep, etc.
- Wax on, Wax Off! Exaggerated motions done while dusting can tone your arms. Consider wearing weights on your wrists while you clean and you can help tone!
- While you do the dishes, tighten your core for the count of five and release over and over. Suck that belly button towards your spine!
- Take the long way around to do everything. Carry groceries in the house a bag at a time, for example.
- Squats while you do laundry. While you’re moving items from the washer to the dryer or putting them away, a deep knee bend / squat while you reach into the basket can tighten your fanny and your thighs.
- Shoveling burns calories. Get out there with your spouse!
- Washing something on your hands and knees? Do some girlie pushups
- Gardening burns calories. Do more of it!
There are a lot of ways to work out at home, even if you don’t have loads of exercise equipment. And if you want to work out at home more often, you can buy portable exercise equipment to make it easy to set up a workout space.
Many who do the Sacred Heart or Cabbage Soup Diet don’t feel very energetic at first but often find that the loss of weight and detoxification gives them renewed energy by the time their 7 day soup diet is done. Once you finish the 7 day cleanse it’s very wise to use it as a springboard to a healthier lifestyle so you can either maintain your new weight or continue to lose weight.

The Sacred Heart Soup.com forum is temporarily out of order due to excessive spam.
Be back soon. Hopefully!
On day two of the Sacred Heart diet, you’re eating vegetables and soup and more vegetables. So what’s for breakfast? This is a question a lot of people that follow this catabolic soup diet want to know.
Here are some day 2 SHS breakfast suggestions:
-Soup. It’s really not that bad to have a bowl of this soup for breakfast, especially on day two when you haven’t gotten sick of it. By day 6 you might not want it for breakfast!
-Make a wrap using lettuce as the wrap .Fill it with tomatoes and red peppers and zucchini or whatever else you like. You can spritz a little low cal dressing if you’re desperate for some flavour
Don’t dismay! Tomorrow you can have a yummy fruit salad for breakfast if you like!
