Start With Soup to Really Drop the Pounds

Got Soup? Starting your meals with a bowl of broth-based coup can really help you drop the pounds.

*Soup is nutrient rich, but light on calories. So the calories you are consuming go a long way.

*Soup takes a long time to eat. It takes approximately 20 minutes for food to reach your stomach and let your brain know that you are full, so eating slowly helps you to not overeat.

*The water in broth based soups fills you up. But the water in soup has an advantage over the glass by your bedside. Because it is combined with vegetables, rice or noodles, it stays in your stomach longer and is digested slowly, boosting your metabolism and keeping you feeling full longer.

So start with soup whenever you can. It can help you become a weight loss superstar.
