Using Soups For Weight Loss

Dieting is an issue that many people just cannot get right. A big part of the problem it that they try a crash or fad diet that causes them to lose weight in the short run, but put it all back on in the long run.

This is called the rebound effect. Crash diets do not work if they are not tempered by a lifestyle change.

Part of the weight loss process, if you want to shed the fat for good, has to be retraining yourself to understand how to incorporate healthy eating into your daily life permanently. This is one reason why I really like using soups for weight loss.

One of the biggest problems that people have with losing weight and keeping it off is impulse control.

It is very easy to be out at work, get hungry, and pop into a fast food joint for a burger and fries. The ease of access for quick serve foods, whether they are fast food or simple frozen meals is just too easy.

Unfortunately portion control and accurate calorie tracking with these types of dishes are extremely difficult.

The end result is almost always mass weight gain. When you incorporate soups for weight loss into your daily diet you can overcome many of these obstacles.

First of all you can prepare several soups at the beginning of one week and have them last you for 2 weeks or more.

In order to do this all you need to do is put the soup, after it has cooled down, into freezer bags and toss them in the freezer. The frozen soup will last you for a month easily.

To prepare the frozen soup for consumption just run it under hot water to loosen it from the bag.

Put the soup in a bowl and heat in the microwave or dump it into a pot and reheat it on the stove. This is as easy as making any other frozen dinner.

If you do not want to deal with freezing your soups then just prepare them for one week at a time. They will store just fine in the fridge.

There are a couple of things to remember when making soups for weight loss. The first is that you want to be careful not to add too much salt.

A salty diet will make you retain water. The second thing is that you want to stick to nutritious veggies and lean meats like chicken or turkey.

Purchase low sodium broths for the base of your soup and use alternative spices like garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, sage, rosemary, and whatever else you can think of to add intense flavor without turning the soup into a salt bomb.

Using soups for weight loss is a great way to shed your excess fat very quickly.

It allows you to have strict portion control, you can vary your diet up by making several different soups at once, and you always know exactly what you are putting into your body.

Pair your soups with some good exercise and the weight will fly off you in no time.
