White Nails (Hey, this is quite interesting, no harm trying)
To whiten your nails, try these:
* Use a common whitening toothpaste. Try scrubbing your nails with Pearl Drops, it's just as easy as achieving a pearly white smile and will take away any stains and shine up your nails.
* Soak your nails in water with lemon juice or lemon slices. The lemon acts as an astringent and will strip away stains. Once your hands are dry, you'll only need to put on a couple of coats of a clear topcoat.

1 large head of cabbage 1 packet Lipton soup

Season with salt, pepper, curry, parsley, if desired or bouillon or hot sauce.

Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces and cover with water.
Boil fast for 10 minutes.
Cut to simmer and continue cooking until vegetables is tender.
This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry.
Eat as much as you want, whenever you want.
This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose.
Fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.
If eaten alone for indefinite periods, you would suffer malnutrition.

[ DAY ONE ]
All fruits except bananas.
Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower in calories than most fruits.
Eat only the soup and fruits.
For drinks, unsweetened tea, cranberry juice or water.

[ DAY TWO ]
All vegetables.
Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh raw or canned-vegetables.
Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn.
Eat along with the soup.
For dinner, reward yourself with a BIG baked potato and butter.
Do not eat any fruits.

[ DAY THREE ]
Eat all the soup, fruits and veggies you want. Do NOT have a baked potato.
Note: If you have eaten for 3 days as above and have not cheated, You will find you have lost 5 – 7 pounds.

[ DAY FOUR ]
Bananas and skim milk.
Eat as many as 3 bananas and drink as many glasses of water as you can on this day, along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates and so is the milk. But on this particular day, your body will need the potassium and calcium to lessen your craving for sweets.

[ DAY FIVE ]
Beef and tomatoes.
You may have 10 – 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes on this day. Try to drink at least 6 – 8 glasses of water this day to wash away the uric acid in your body. Eat the soup at least once this day.

[ DAY SIX ]
Beef and veggies. Eat to your heart’s content of the beef and vegetables this day.
You can even have two or three steaks if you like, with green leafy vegetables, but NO baked potato.
Be sure to eat the soup at least once today.

[ DAY SEVEN ]
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and vegetables.
Again stuff, stuff yourself.
Be sure to have the soup at least once today.

At the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on the above diet, you will have lost 10 – 17 pounds. If you lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for 2 days before resuming the diet again for 1 day.

This 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a matter of fact, if correctly followed, it will clean your systems of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being as never before.

After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 and possibly 17 pounds, having an abundance of energy. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference.

This diet is fast, fat-burning, and the secret is that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. The diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time because of the removal of fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 24 hours before any intake of alcohol.

Because everyone’s digestive system is different, this diet will meet everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began if you did not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find your bowl movements have changed – eat a cup of bran fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don’t need the caffeine after the third day.

DEFINITE NO-NO’S
Bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks, including diet drinks. Stick with water, unsweetened tea, black coffee, unsweetened fruit juices, cranberry juice and skim milk.

The Basic Fat-Burning Soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry. Eat as much as you wish. Remember, the more you eat, the more you will loose. No fried foods or bread. You can eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (absolutely no skin on the chicken).

Any prescribed medication will not hurt you on this diet. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need high protein in the beef the other day.
