Benefits of EATING Soup FOR Losing Weight
Coming into winter, we LOVE making our home-made Soups! They have become one of our signature categories for their thick intense flavour and health benefits.
Keep an eye out online to order, or via one of our specialty outlet partners, for our 2024 LOVE FOOD SOUP MENU. Our soups are made thick, packed full of dense nutrients, and packed full of fresh herbs, ginger and garlic…please try one and let us know…they are like a meal!
We have the favourites, such as our ‘Green Goddess’, which is a stunning tasting soup full of goodness. Which ever one you LOVE, all our soups are a fantastic way to fill you up, nourish your body, with the added benefit of losing or controlling your weight.
If you are eating canned soup - well, that’s just lazy, sorry! We have never met a canned soup that cuts the mustard - never. They are full or sugar, water and fake flavour and were made weeks/months ago. Sure, if you are off-the-grid or trekking or something, go for it, but it doesn’t take much effort or money to make a simple fresh home-made soup yourself.
Once you eat home-made soup regularly you will get used the ‘fresh taste’ difference. And with so many easy-to-make, home-made soup recipes, you can do it yourself pretty quickly in a big pot at home (or a slow cooker), and blend it up or keep it chunky. Plus, there are so many fresh-made soup varieties around - but remember, not all are created equal, that’s for sure! …we’ll share a few recipes in future posts.
All LOVE FOOD Soups are small-batch made, with ultra-fresh ingredients, with NO form of additives or preservative…all the taste is from the natural herbs, spices and vegetables. We also go to great lengths to experiment with different ‘layers of flavour’ to get that perfect combination.
Eat soup to stay fit and healthy….full-stop!
If you want one quick-hit way to get healthier, fitter and lose or control your weight…just eat soup as your main meal for 1 week.
Every classic or fad diet in history has soup in it…and we research and observe all forms of eating, from all across the world - but we always go back to the proven and timeless ‘Alkaline Lifestyle’ principles.
Soup can be a beneficial addition to a weight loss plan for several reasons:
Low in Calories: Many soups are low in calories, especially broths and vegetable-based soups, which can help reduce overall calorie intake.
High in Water Content: Soups are hydrating and can help you feel full with fewer calories, which may reduce the risk of overeating.
High in Fiber: Soups that contain vegetables, beans, and whole grains are typically high in fiber, which can help you feel full and satisfied, reducing the likelihood of snacking between meals.
Nutrient Dense: Soups can be a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, especially if they contain a variety of vegetables and lean proteins.
Easy to Digest: The liquid nature of soup makes it easy to digest, which can be beneficial for those with digestive issues or sensitive stomachs.
Versatile: Soups can be easily customized to suit individual tastes and preferences, making them a flexible option for a weight loss diet.
Warm and Comforting: A warm bowl of soup can be satisfying and comforting, which can help reduce cravings for less healthy comfort foods.
Portion Control: Eating soup as a starter or main course can help with portion control, as it can help you feel full without consuming excess calories.
Convenient: Soups can be prepared in advance and stored for later use, making them a convenient option for busy days.
Encourages Mindful Eating: Eating soup slowly and savoring each spoonful can encourage mindful eating, which can help prevent overeating.
