The Sacred heart diet is said to have originated in the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital where it was used for rapid weight loss in overweight heart patients prior to their surgery.
The diet consists of a basic 7 day eating plan and if followed religiously will clean your system of all impurities and give you a feeling of well being. Day 3: Eat as much soup as you can with all fruits and vegetables but do not eat the baked potato.

Day 5: Today you can consume up to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes (or 6 whole tomatoes).
Day 7: On the last day of the diet, you can have brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and vegetables and the soup.
