Workout and weight loss on wheels- soup

Lately I've eaten a lot of home made soup. I think this is the best meal, by far, for those who want to lose weight. Here's why: 1) It's easy to prepare, you can start a crock pot in the morning and it's ready when you get home. 2)It's very healthy, Vegetable - based soups are high in key vitamins, minerals fiber, and minerals but low calories. 3) Soup fills us up due to the water content, therefore we eat less of the rest of the meal. 4) Soups that have a base of leeks, onions and celery are also particularly high in potassium. Potassium helps to rid the body of excess fluid which makes us feel lighter and leaner. 5) Soup can be a simple meal addition - a way to ensure that the family gets all of their vegetables and nutrition; a filling afternoon snack or an entire lunch or light evening meal, especially when beans, potato or sweet potato are the base providing heavier carbs as well as chicken, lean sausage or some mincemeat for protein. 6) It is important to remember that rice, noodles, legumes and pasta do add considerable carbohydrates and calories to your soup and are likely to offer weight loss benefits. 7) Soup helps to keep your total calorie intake low, while the bulk prevents you from feeling hungry as you might if you ate replacement shakes.
