Want a slimmer YOU? Start slurping soup. OK, the slurping is optional, but if you need to shed some pounds, the soup shouldn’t be. Developing a soup habit will have you stepping out in clothes you haven’t worn for ages. You know, the ones with waistbands that haven’t closed since Lehman Brothers did. Here’s the simple soup science: The more often you eat soup, the more likely you are to shrink your waist, lose weight and lower your total body fat — your body mass index, or BMI. That’s all according to new research confirming previous soup-slimming studies. And it means you’ll also cut your risk of heart disease, diabetes and other unpleasantness that come with big bellies and excess weight. All because soup makes you feel fuller on fewer calories.
Now for the fun. You don’t have to know a thing about cooking to make great soup.
