What is the 28-day Souper Diet plan?

Our signature 28-day Souper Diet plan is a guided plan designed to help you lose weight over 28 days. You will receive 14 packs of soup every week for 4 consecutive weeks. Subscribers to the 28-Day Souper Diet plan will also enjoy a full range of soup pack flavours!

How much weight can I lose if I go on the 28-Day Souper Diet plan?As with all weight loss diets, results will differ from individual to individual. Our pilot programme in the past year saw an average weight loss of 4.3kg after the 28-day programme. We are firm advocates of pacing yourself for the long run with good eating habits. Keep track of your progress weekly and not be obsessed with the daily numbers on the weighing scale. Change the way you eat, and the kilos will leave you naturally. The Souper Diet has got to be the best start!

Can I eat rice or bread with my soups in this 28-Day Souper Diet plan?
The 28-Day Souper Diet plan is a soup-based diet that controls your calorie intake using soup as a complete meal. To achieve the best results, we recommend that you consume the whole pack of Take-Home Soup Pack for lunch and dinner without supplementing with additional calories. A swirl of plain or Greek yoghurt as a condiment is fine.

Do I have to drink soup for breakfast too?
No, you don’t. Feel free to eat anything you fancy for breakfast so you can satisfy any cravings you may have. Of course, staying clear of greasy, deep-fried and fatty foods will get you more effective results from the Souper Life programme!

What if I get hungry?
Our body system may take some time to ease into the diet with readjusted amount of food. If you feel the need to snack between your soup meals, feel free to but do try stick to healthy snacks like fruits and yoghurt (plain or flavoured are both fine).

Do I have to follow a fixed menu during the 28-Day Souper Diet plan?
We do not want to restrict you! Choose the soups that you enjoy and try some others that you don’t usually take! A useful tip is to take a heavier soup like a meat-based soup at lunch and a lighter soup for dinner.

What if I can’t finish one packet of Take-Home Soup Pack during the 28-Day Souper Diet plan?
If you are a light eater, we suggest that you apportion some soup out and enjoy it for your tea break. The soups are meant to fill you up and nourish you, so don’t be afraid to finish up the pack! You can even take ‘half and half’, i.e. half a packet of one flavour, and half a packet of another flavour.

Do I have to exercise to see weight loss from the 28-Day Souper Diet plan?
The 28-Day Souper Diet plan is a meal replacement diet that will yield weight loss results even without exercise. But of course, working up a sweat is always recommended for holistic well-being! Just remember to listen to your body and pace your exercise regime and lifestyle according to your energy level during the Souper Diet programme.

Can I take caffeine when I am on the 28-Day Souper Diet plan?
We are big coffee and tea lovers ourselves! The answer is yes, please go ahead to enjoy your favourite cuppa, but in moderation, and preferably without the sugar and creamer. Trust us, good coffee and tea taste even better without all those sweeteners. Enjoy your caffeine charge without the unnecessary calories!

Can I still take sugary soft drinks when I am on the 28-Day Souper Diet plan?
We say no to empty calories. If you need a little sugar boost, we recommend you to take coconut water that has natural sweetness, hydrates and replenishes your body with nutrients and essential electrolytes.

Can I take alcohol when I am on the 28-Day Souper Diet plan?
If you do need a drink, please go ahead and enjoy a glass or two. If you follow the Souper Diet programme strictly, you should still see weight loss results even with moderate alcohol consumption. Remember though that alcohol can contain high calories, so always drink in moderation!

The Take-Home Soup Packs are delivered chilled. How should I prepare my soups at work?
The Take-Home Soup Packs are delivered chilled for food safety reasons. If you have a microwave at work, simply follow the instructions on the pack. Otherwise, you will need to have the soups heated up at home and stored in a 600-750ml vacuum flask.

Why do I feel very gassy and flatulent when I am on the 28-Day Souper Diet plan? Is it normal?
Yes, it is normal. Nothing to worry about when your body is in a cleansing, detox mode. Sip your soup slowly for better digestion and reap the benefits of a cleaner, healthier and lighter body!
