SOUPS:
Soup is good for you! Maybe not the canned varieties from the store but old – fashioned, homemade soup promote weight loss. A study made in a college of medicine in Houston Texas, found that dieters who ate a bowl of soup before lunch or dinner lost more weights than dieters who didn’t. In fact the more soup they ate, the more weight they lost. And soup eaters tend to keep their weight off longer.
Naturally the type of soup you eat makes a different. Cream Soups or those made of beef or pork are not your best bets. But here is great recipe:
Slice three large onions, three carrots, four stalks of celery, one zucchini and one yellow squash. Place in a kettle. Add three cans crushed tomatoes, two packets low – sodium bouillon, three cans water and one cup white wine (optional). Add tarragon, basil, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder. Boil, and then simmer for an hour. Serves six.
SPINACH:
Popeye really knew what he was talking about. Spinach has the ability to lower cholesterol, rev up the metabolism and burn away fat. Rich in Iron, beta carotene and vitamins C and E, its supplies most of the nutrients you need.
