Souped Up


A bowl of soup at lunch time can help you stay slim, according to researchers from Pennsylvania State University.
They discovered women who had soup as a starter at lunch consumed 100 fewer calories during the meal and didn’t make up for by eating more later in the day.
It’s thought water incorporated into food rather than drunk on its own, helps the stomach empty more slowly, keeping you fuller for longer on fewer categories.
If you’re watching your weight, opt for lower-fat soup such as vegetable, tomato and carrot as the best options.

Adding z-trim not only helps with calories and fat but allows me to have one cup and be satified. I read about a natural fat replacement ingredient called Z Trim on page 90 of the book “You on a Diet” by Oprah’s doctor, Mehmet Oz. I ordered off of the Z Trim web site and have been cooking with it for a few weeks now. It works and its easy. It lowers calories by replacing portions of the oils, butter, and other fats. It also adds fiber to foods, because it basically is corn fiber made into a gel that works like fat in most cooking. They say it is undetectable, and that’s true. My cooking tastes like it always did. I’ve lost some weight, slowly. It’s a sensible approach and its natural. I eat what I want; it tastes as good as it always did, and I’m finally “right-sizing” my body. A total win-win.
