Once I found out that soups are very often guests in the daily menu of my family. I was really surprised that there is a term “souping diet.” I decided to find out what it means Picture this: it’s a diet where soups steal the spotlight, kinda like a blockbuster movie, but with veggies and broth instead of actors and popcorn. But there are different approaches to this diet. Some tells you can cook potato soups; some restrict potato ingredient in soup recipes. As for me I did not choose any variant I just cook soups when I want it. It is two or thee times a week. The soup option especially good in winter time.
Souping diet is not a remedy for any weight problem. I can say it has a short term effect. I had an experiment when I was cooking different light soups for my husband within a month. The result was 10 kilos less for him and 3 for me. But then when he come back to his previous eating habits, he gained five kilos back.
The main principles of souping diet are the following:
- Soup Takes Center Stage: During this diet extravaganza, most solid meals take a back seat while soups hog the limelight. You can whip up your own creations or grab some from the store, but these soups are like low-calorie superheroes packed with veggies, lean proteins, and sometimes a hint of grains.
- Short and Sweet: Souping diets are like those weekend getaways – they’re short and sweet. Folks usually roll with it for a few days or maybe a week. Some go big and keep the soup train chugging for two weeks.
- Soup Variety Show: Variety is the spice of life, and the souping diet knows it. You’ll be exploring a medley of soup recipes to keep things exciting and nutrient-packed. Think carrots, celery, spinach, chicken, tofu, and a dash of spices to tango with your taste buds.
- Stay Hydrated, Buddy: Since soups are basically liquid in a bowl, you gotta stay hydrated. Water, the unsung hero, is essential for staying fresh and feeling full. It’s like the backup dancer that keeps the show going.
- Count Those Calories: The souping diet often comes with a calorie cutback. It’s like trying to fit into those skinny jeans – you’re consuming fewer calories than your body needs to keep the scale happy. This caloric tightrope walk can lead to some weight loss during your souping adventure.
Please be careful. It’s a smart move to chat with a healthcare whiz or a diet specialist. They’ll give you the lowdown on healthier, long-lasting ways to reach your dietary dreams. Plus, everyone’s taste buds and tummies are unique, so what’s hot for one person might not sizzle for another.
