Soup for weight loss

Soup can help you lose weight. Research lead by Barbara Rolls at Penn State, found that people who had soup as a first course for lunch reduced subsequent calorie intake by nearly 20 percent. Surprisingly, it did not matter whether the soup was “chunky” or broth-based, all worked at reducing subsequent calorie intake; all soups tested had identical ingredients (chicken broth, broccoli, potato, cauliflower, carrots and butter) and the thickness of the soup made little difference.

Soup is a great diet strategy because you are consuming more food but fewer calories. But remember do not use creamy-based soups, that are high in calories, which will have the opposite effect.

To make this soup diet tip work for you:

• consume soup as a first course
• pick low-calorie, broth based soups that are about 100-150 calories per serving
• avoid canned soup that is high in sodium
• avoid cream-based high calorie soups
