What’s inside :

Your Body : DAY 2



The diet drops to about 770 calories beginning today and for the next 3 days. Fat burning ramps up and ketone production begins, and by the end of the Day 2 you may be in mild-to-moderate ketosis. Ketones are 
the alternative fuel for the body, and they’re made when glucose is in short supply. Your liver senses no more glucose stores, so your body starts breaking down the fatty acids. Your brain can’t function on fatty acids, so they are broken down into what we call ketones which the brain can use for fuel. Some people will feel a state of euphoria when in a ketogenic state … that may

happen over the next few days. Some will begin to experience weight loss on this day, others will notice 
it later in the diet or afterwards – everyone is different, don’t get discouraged! Your body is also starting to get into cellular clean up mode, also known as autophagy. This can be a tough 
day for some, as you are transitioning into more of a fasted state, and ketosis will generally happen later 
today into tomorrow. It’s also normal to feel a bit cold 
in a fasting state, as your body shifts into a resting mode. Make sure to stay well-hydrated!

How to: PREP YOUR SOUPS

ORIGNAL

Mushroom Soup Mix

HOW TO PREPARE:

  • Add soup package contents to 1 cup (250 mL) of water. Stir to mix. You may adjust water volume to your taste.

  • STOVE TOP : Heat gently over medium heat in a saucepan, stirring occasionally. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Stir to mix. You may 
adjust water volume to your taste.

  • MICROWAVE : Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes.
  • ALTERNATE WAYS TO PREPARE:

    Kick up the flavor! It’s fine to add up to 1 tablespoon of any type of dried herbs or spices 
per day to your soups or other foods in the diet to enhance the flavor (preferably unprocessed, I like 
to use red pepper flakes).

    Hints & Tips :

    TO GET YOU
    THROUGH THE DAY


    Soak the soups in water for an hour before cooking if possible and use a whisk to mix the soups while cooking. This step is entirely optional, so if you don’t want to soak, 
just follow the different cooking instructions to ensure your soups are fully cooked and ready to enjoy.

    One cup (8 fl oz) black coffee, or 2 cups of black or green tea, or 6 cups of decaf coffee per day (no creamers or sweeteners). Caffeine mildly reactivates one of the pathways that senses nutrition, so we try and limit caffeine intake.
