Weight Loss Soup
A weight loss soup, really? Is there such a thing as a weight loss soup? Apparently, a weight loss soup is a reality. Research shows that it could be a new way to lose weight. So how does it work? Or maybe a better question is: How does a weight loss soup work?
Eating a soup appetizer will cut your calorie intake by 20 percent, according to a Penn State study. After serving men pasta lunches for a month, the researchers found that the participants ate an average of 135 fewer calories when they started their meals with a 150-calorie serving (1 and 1/2 cups) of a broth-based vegetable soup.
“Eating soup forces you to slow down, allowing your body to recognize that it’s becoming full before moving to the second course,” say the researchers.
What is more, the same held true in a University of Texas study of fatty soups like chowder – men consumed 227 fewer calories when a pizza meal was preceded by the soup.
The bottom line on a weight loss soup It is really that simple. If you need to lose some weight, eat some soup at least once a day. [source: Men's Health]
