Hi umwedding

You can have as much of the soup that you want on days 4 and 5.  I think you need to stick to this to get the maximum benefit of the diet.  I found that I actually enjoyed the changes because I was a bit full of veggies and fruit by the end of day 3.  You can liquidise two bananas with your skim mild on day four as this makes a very pleasant smoothie.  I made little beef mince balls with tomato slices for lunch on day 5 and then a nice fat steak in the evening that I had fried with chopped tomatoes with garlic flakes.  Just try be creative without using too much salty spices(this will make you retain water)

Just remind hubby that it is only for a measly 7 days of the rest of his life and when he gets through it he will see that the thought of doing it again is very possible and not so scary.
