I watched a programme a few months back and on it they did tests on people who ate soup. Apparently because of the way it's made with the water content, it stays in your stomach longer and leaves you full...for longer.
I make homemade soup a lot anyway for friends and my family. So the last couple of days I've been trying to eat more of it myself with a chunk of wholesome bread, either granary or spelt and rye or suchlike.
My main weight problem, apart from being a stone or two overweight, is my tummy area, it really sticks out. Since starting this change in my diet it has gone down a fair bit although needs to go down more. Another bonus is soup is so good for you and easy to digest. And there are so many different types so you don't need to get bored.
I've also been swapping at least half of my cuppas for cups of hot water or fruit teas.
Does anyone fancy joining me in this change of diet and putting their results on here? If you don't have time or don't like cooking then there's lots of nice bought soup you can buy...or get a friend to make you some
The last soup I made was so simple, it had leeks rice carrots lentils celery and some seasoning in it. If anyone wants the recipe I'll post it.
Plus if you have a nice soup recipe, preferably easy and freezable, then please share.
I hope someone will join me as I'd love to know it's working for others.
