Cutting board
Chef's knife
wooden spoon
measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

1 large green cabbage, chopped
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1-2 bell peppers, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes (no added sugar)
6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat a large stockpot over medium heat.
Add a splash of broth and sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes.
Stir in cabbage and bell peppers. Cook for another 3–4 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes, remaining broth, oregano, and basil.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25–30 minutes.

Notes

Use low-sodium vegetable broth to reduce water retention. Do not overcook the vegetables to maintain texture. Limit the structured plan to 7 days and transition gradually to balanced meals with lean protein and whole grains. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Avoid adding high-fat ingredients during the reset phase.
