Eat This and Lose Weight

Need a great idea for a healthy lunch that can help you lose weight? Try Soup!

Soup can help you lose weight because it fills you up and contains very few calories, plus it keeps you feeling full for several hours. Studies have shown that people who eat soup every day lose more weight that people who choose other foods with a similar number of calories. In fact, people who enjoyed just two servings of soup a day lost an extra 16 pounds a year!

How to eat it

Choose broth based soups with lots of veggies and some protein - like Chicken and Rice with vegetables, Tomato Basil or Egg Drop Soup. Skip the heavy cream based soups like Cheese Beer and Cream of Mushroom. Making your own soup with homemade stock and fresh veggies is a delicious way to spend some time in the kitchen, but if you are short on time, canned soups are fine, too. Just look for low-sodium varieties of your favorites.

Enjoy!
