This Low Calorie Vegetable Soup is chock-full of nutrients and only 100 calories in 2 full cups! It’s a total win! I bounced around on different diets in the past trying to find one that works for me. I was gung-ho for Atkins for a month, but realized after the first two weeks that I wasn’t dropping any pounds beyond the initial 9 (3 of which came off before I started Atkins) and actually regained 3. Add to that, I felt hungry all the time, had zero energy, and kept thinking it made no sense to avoid vegetables that everyone knows are good for you.
I then researched the Carb-Lovers Diet, but the whole (RS) resistant starch premise didn’t seem to have a lot of solid proof to back it up. I talked to many people who’ve said Weight Watchers is the only diet that actually works with the weight staying off. I’ve not joined, but eating all the fruits and vegetables you want without penalty (unlike Atkins) would seem to make sense. However, lots of fruits and vegetables are high in calories and over-eating anything with a high caloric content is not conducive to losing weight.
Rustic Low Calorie Vegetable Soup
So, the best thing for me is to eat anything I want, but count every calorie. My daily goal is to stay around 1,500, but that’s not easy to do and feel full. Enter this fabulous, wholesome and filling vegetable soup. The addition of several flavorful herbs gives it a sophisticated yet rustic taste. It’s easy to prepare and makes enough to keep you going for a week. It’s extremely low-calorie, low-fat, and surprisingly low-carb. Did I mention how yummy it is? At only 100 calories in 2 full cups! I must keep repeating that! LOL
