Has eating soups daily/regularly helped in your weight loss?

Oh man, a can of light Progresso or Campbell's soup is my go-to lunch. I keep a small plastic bowl at my desk and just grab a can from the cupboard before I head to work every morning. Filling, tasty, and only 160-220 calories per can. That and an apple and I'm a happy camper for the whole day.

No, I don't care for soup.

I lost three stones eating soup

I get tired of anything if I eat it too often, lol, but I know there is research that shows it helps. There's a BBC documentary called "Why Thin People are not Fat" that talks about it. That's if I have my obesity documentaries straight- I've watched so many of them that I get them mixed up sometimes. In any case, that documentary is one of the best I've seen. I think the whole thing is available on youtube. It covers lots of scientific studies, and soup-eating is something it covers.

Soup is kind of an obsession of mine, especially in the winter when I sometimes make two or three different soups on Sunday and we have it for lunch, dinner and snacks the rest of the week. I use up whatever I have left in the fridge from the previous week - leftover meats, veggies that might not make it a few more days and even rice or pasta. Anything that sits in the fridge and I'm worried I might have to toss gets turned into soup! Also great to have on hand when dinner is late and we need to take the edge of our hunger without racking up the calories. A small bowl of soup (or a small salad) before a meal helps you feel fuller on less calories, and adds some veggies to your diet if you do it right. When I go out for a meal, I almost always get one of those so I don't fill up on heavier foods. When I'm feeling icky and nothing else seems to appeal to me, I throw together a simple soup with miso paste and whatever veggies I have laying around, fixes me right up!

About a month ago I noticed my male cousin was a lot thinner. I mentioned it to his wife and she said he started making and eating soup all the time for lunches and even in the evening when he wanted a snack. It's homemade soup. I'm sure it could work as long as you ate careful what kind of soup.

I'm feeling about 80% better now--but I'm still making soups daily, because I'm really loving it. I wish I'd make this discover in the fall and winter though--don't know about how good soups are in the summer--unless I start making those cold soups!

I make watercress soup in the summer. Good hot or cold and watercress is super good for you. I also LOVE gazpacho and cucumber soups. Perfect for hot days and very low calories.

DD gave me a ham bone from Easter dinner. today it went into the soup pot,after I cut away / discarded the fat & diced the lean. Added large size chicken broth,pepper,sage,bay leaf & thyme.After an hr,diced carrots,onion & celery,along with 1 1/2 lbs of Great Northern beans.Brought to a boil,then cover & simmer on low till beans are tender,adding water as needed to keep beans covered.

if you simmer the beans for an hour before draining & adding to soup,won't take too long.So good & so easy.

I make soup often because it keeps good & easy to freeze. Use zip lock bags,put measured amount in bag,then put on a pan ,flat. When frozen .....easy to stack .

I find having a homemade soup (usually vegetable with some legumes, low sodium broth and tomatoes) on hand makes it less likely I'll grab something higher calorie for lunch. It's filling, healthy and easy to throw into the slow cooker every week. For me it gives more calorie leeway in planning dinner.

In the cold weather months starting around mid-Sept. and through April, I eat soup every morning for mid-morning "snack". I make mine homemade with organic chicken stock (sometimes I add white or dark meat chicken, ham, pork neckbones, turkey legs and wings, sausage or other meats whatever I have on hand for flavoring), sometimes I add a little rice or a handful of various beans, depending on what kind of soup I am doing, mushrooms, various vegetables (peppers, broccoli, squash...) whatever I have on hand, fresh onions a little clove of garlic. A variety of spices whatever I have on hand for taste, no salt, fresh cracked pepper. I simmer that up in the crockpot early in the morning so that by mid- it's done. I also do a sort of jambalaya soup using fish (tilapia, sole or haddock), chicken, sausage, couple of shrimps (high in calories so go easy) with lots of veggies and chopped up tomatoes.

Very low in calories and yes this helps curb my appetite and helps me with my weight loss and also if I have beans in there, that's fiber! Sometimes I add some apple cider vinegar in there just to zip things up. I recommend making your own and avoiding canned or store bought. Too much salt and processed garbage in those. You can even make a huge batch on a weekend and freeze in small containers for during the week. One thing I never add is pasta. The pasta does not freeze well. Rice freezes well. It is a great "cleanse" the more veg you add in there the more "cleanse" you will get. It is also good to ward off colds and flu since chicken stock has antibiotic properties. Try to get the stock that comes in a box not a can and organic if you can find that. If not, it's okay or you can make your own stock.
