 (Family Features) - If you're looking to add flavor and variety to your weight
control plan — think soup! Recent research shows that soup can be
a "secret weapon" for safe and healthful weight loss because it
helps to fill you up with fewer calories.
Why does soup work?
- More for less! You can eat larger portions of water-rich foods,
like broth-based soups, which have relatively few calories per
serving.
- Variety! With so many soup options, you can enjoy a different
soup every day.
- Satisfaction! Whether you're counting calories, fat or carbs,
soup can add taste, variety and satisfaction for a plan you can
stick with.
Now it's easier than ever to harness the benefits of soup.
Experts at Campbell's Center for Nutrition & Wellness created the
Campbell's Soup for Life Plan, a flexible menu plan based on
