As the ad slogan says, soup is good food. While a "soup diet" can
help Type 2 diabetics lose pounds or kilograms fast, the best way to
sustained fast weight loss may be to include sensible and healthy soup
recipes in your daily diet without making them all you eat.
Dr. Barbara Rolls, who teaches at both the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, has conducted a staggering 167 clinical studies that confirm that dieters find it easier to control their appetites if they eat "moist" foods rather than "dry" foods.
That should not be hard to understand. Moist foods take up more room in your stomach than dry foods. Eating foods with higher water content makes you feel fuller faster. So why not just drink water?
There is a good reason that the old advice to drink water before every meal to lose weight doesn't work.
That's because your stomach knows it does not have to digest water. Water goes down to your colon for absorption into your bloodstream about as fast as you drink it.
Soup, however, contains fine particles that have to be digested. And if you make your soup with a vegetable or meat broth you've simmered over low heat for a number of hours, you create a lot of tiny particles, each measurable in thousandths of a calorie or kilojoule, requiring the full effort of your stomach to digest.
Most of Dr. Rolls' studies have found that starting a meal with a large cup or a small bowl of soup made with broth (not cream), helps dieters feel satisfied with 150 to 250 fewer calories (630 to 1050 kilojoules). If you take the time to start both lunch and dinner with soup, you may be able to consume 3500 fewer calories (14700 kilojoules) each week. That's a pound (half a kilogram) a week in weight loss without really trying.
Just don't follow the old cabbage soup diet. If you are on it for a week, despite what the nutritionists say, you aren't going to develop scurvy or beriberi. But if you make the cabbage soup with appetite-stimulating MSG, you are just setting yourself up for binge eating as soon as you go off the diet. For the best results with soup in your diet plan, make your own, or at least buy brands that don't contain the MSG. And if you need to stretch your soup to feed more people, add vegetables, not pasta, rice, or potatoes!
Don't forget though, it's best for non-diabetics and Type 2 diabetics to eat more than soup!
