I am Filipino and my parents made Sinigang when I get sick, which is a sour soup, ginger, onion garlic green leafy spinach and whole chicken. I always felt energized after! Now that I made it on my own for the first time, It made me feel that strength again. I added my own touch of greens, carrots, radish, potatoes, whole chicken… Then it hit me, like all these nutrients trapped in this pot!! Then I wanted to research and found this channel. God bless! Our ancestors had it going well with a pot, water, meat, beans and all the starches and veggies the seasons provided.
This is interesting. I make a chicken soup from scratch and have always said I make it more so as a medicine. Listening to this and thinking about that makes me wonder if I should just live on my recipe for a few months and see if it helps with the numerous symptoms I have.
I'm 40, been fighting diabetes for a couple years now. Still looking to maintain weight and even build muscle but finding it challenging to grow without eating carbs. What book or resource can you recommend on how i can reverse diabetes but still maintain weight and even grow. Thanks.
Great question! It is normal for someone with chronic illness to lose weight initially on the soup diet. Even if they are already underweight. This loss of weight is important for healing as it usually is related to stored toxins. Once your gut lining and microbiome are in better shape and you are absorbing nutrition better, you can put weight on much easier. In the meantime, make sure you are eating the meat protein you use to make the meat broth/soups and you are also adding 1-2 tablespoons of animal fat to every meal you eat. That will help increase your calories and keep weight from falling off too quickly.
Is there an alternative to chicken in the form of fish? I was a vegetarian for 20+ years and only recently got started eating fish. I'm not ready for chicken but would salmon work as well or it must be chicken?
Thank you. I have heard that. But I react to chicken (if not flash thawed or just cooked frozen - so stressful and tricky so I don’t always get it right and ends up having histamine buildup), slow cooked meat, beef, any ground meat, seafood, eggs, dairy, and cannot source grassfed and finished lamb currently (only during its season). And have trouble digesting fat. Also need to gain weight. Hmm I’ll have to figure it out. I’ll look some more! Thanks!
hi mary, thank you for sharing your story. did you eat chicken soup exlusivly for 2 years ?? did you eat the chicken meat or just the soup from the chicken? this diet does not include any fresh vegetables doesnt this cause vitamin defficiencies?
Great question. Mary ate nothing but chicken soup with carrots and onions for two years. She added animal fat to the soup to increase the fat content, and she did eat the chicken meat as well. You can get everything you need eating a soup diet as long as you are getting around 60 grams of protein per day and you are adding different fats to the meals to get enough variety of fatty acids. Animal foods have far more bioavailable nutrition than any vegetable or plant food. There is no requirement for carbohydrates to maintain proper health. Your body can make enough glucose on its own. Many people thrive and do far better on the soup diet than any other diet they have tried before. Hope this helps! :)
I’m suffering with long covid for 15 months now, always had major issues with my intestines even before covid and I’m really interested in trying out your soup diet but slightly worried I wouldn’t be getting all the necessary nutrients. When you ate only chicken soup for two years did you supplement your mineral and vitamin intake in any way?
You can get all the nutrients you need on just the soup diet. When you are eating say, a Standard American Diet, your requirement for certain nutrients (EX: Vitamin C) is much higher than on a soup diet that is very low inflammatory. When your gut has healed more and you can handle more foods you can add organ meats and other nutrient dense foods to your diet to focus on reversing any deficiencies you may have.
@@loco-story4982 I started it and managed few months, I mostly did no plants though as I was trying carnivore as well however I recently had my gallbladder removed and had to go low fat, I will be going back to no plant gaps as soon as I can

Hi Mary! I live in Sweden and cannot purchase any if your products unfortunately. I istened to an interview of yours where you mentioned eating the chicken soup with enormeous amounts of tallow and ghee. Can you translate that in concrete measurements please? And did that include the fat from the boiled chicken or not? Would really appreciate if you take your time to answer as I am considering to start asap eating that diet due to disautonomia. Thanks in advance!
Hi Mary, like Rudina, I am not able to access the soups (Ireland) . It would be great if you would have a soup recipe, I would love to have my life back. Thank you 🙏
One more question Mary🤏 I'm not the greatest fan of chicken unless its roasted very very well, could you use oxtail instead of chicken with the carrot, onion and say Brocolli and Cauliflower. I'm going to try these soups but I know I'll be starving, I have a huge appetite, hopefully I can stick to it. Thank you for all your work Mary and Captain Soup 🙏
What are the benefits of soups vs just eating a low calorie ketogenic carnivore diet with a lot of organ meats (e.g. PKD)? Id assume you get much more nutrition from the latter. Another thing, what is going on with individuals that appear not to heal on even a well formulated carnivore diet?
For someone who has a damaged gut, eating a diet high in vitamins and minerals like organ meats may be beating a dead horse. If you cannot absorb those nutrients they will do you no good. The beauty behind eating exclusively soups and broths is that they have plenty of good nutrients but they are the best foods to eat for healing the gut lining and repairing the villi and enterocytes on your gut wall. Once your gut lining is healed then going carnivore is an excellent diet to be on! Diet choice should always be situational.
@@captainsoup Thanks for the answer. That is an interesting take. I would have assumed that soups (when they contain meat and fat) are more difficult to digest as you dilute the stomach acid plus they'd probably contain more histamine.
@@92JacobG the bone broth is full of vitamins and minerals but yes you would be correct in saying high histamine... you can do meat broth which isnt as high

Just found you on liver king journey. You are a legend
Thank you! :)

Thanks for so much amazing info

Try it out for 30 days and see what happens! You may be surprised :)

Thanks.
I would suggest to read Robert O. Young: "The pH Miracle".
Wow, Great Story! I dont understand how someone can stay so Long on just eating soups?
I lose immidiatly weight, do you have any advices ?

Making fish broth with a lean fish like cod is a wonderful alternative to chicken.
What’s the best diet for histamine AND fodmap intolerance
The Carnivore Diet. A great resource to start is meatrx.com

@@captainsoup Excellent explanation. Thank you. x
@captainsoup
That chicken soup recipe sounds quite lean. Did she add additional fat to it? Tallow? Olive oil? Ghee? Something else?
She recommends adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of animal fat (butter, beef fat etc) to each soup meal...more if weight is coming off too rapidly.
I’ve seen her another interview say she drowned it in ghee

Did you try it ?
@@loco-story4982 no as I realised that GAPS diet is way way better. Wish I knew that before I wasted money on the soup diet protocol
@@EvelineBlue thanks for your fast answering!!
So you did the GAPS diet and it worked well for you ?
