The Fat Burning Soup Diet

Although I usually don’t subscribe to (or prescribe) to anything that I would consider a “FAD” diet, some of my e-book customers have contacted me and asked me if I know anything about The Fat Burning Soup Diet.

To start with, I would not consider this a fad diet.  The Fat Burning Soup Diet falls more under the category of healthy eating, combined with careful macro-nutrient planning, and topped with a catchy (and somewhat “fad” diet-sounding) name.

Not only have I used soup to lose fat, but I have done so quite successfully.

In this blog post, I’ll be sharing why I think the Fat Burning Soup Diet is good for some people, and not for others… as well as how to successfully use the Fat Burning Soup Diet to burn fat like crazy.

First of all, let me start out by describing the perfect candidate for this diet…

The perfect candidate for the Fat Burning Soup Diet is one who has already broken their food addictions, and does not have a problem with portion control.

Why do I say this?

Because even “diet food” will make you gain weight if you eat too much of it.  This goes for healthy soup, too.

If you are still addicted to food and have problems with portion control, I suggest you just bite the bullet and get the Lose 10 Pounds In 3 Days E-Book and follow it for 3 days.  Not only will it help you break your food addictions and help get your portion sizes under control, it will also give you a big jump start on your weight loss goals (a 10 pound jump start).

I should also mention that in order to do the Fat Burning Soup Diet, you should have the ability to cook several portions of soup ahead of time, and store them in the freezer for warming up later.  If you don’t have enough containers, get some.  If you don’t have enough freezer space, make some room.

In order to be successful with the Fat Burning Soup Diet, you must both ensure that the soup is healthy for youand that it low in both calories and carbohydrates (very important).  A little spiciness doesn’t hurt either, and will get your metabolism shifting into a higher gear and loosen up the mucus in your digestive system.

For many people, it also helps greatly if you vary the soup.  Variety is the spice of life, they say… and the same adage can apply to sticking with a low calorie, low carbohydrate diet of soup.  Human crave different tastes and smells, so having a variety of different homemade frozen soups at the ready will give you a huge advantage.

You should eat a single serving of soup for lunch, and another serving of soup for dinner.  To be honest, this is the most difficult part for most, as it’s less than most people are used to eating.  But, the key to any weight loss plan is to eat less food than your body needs, so that your body has to dip into it’s fat reserves and burn that for energy.

If you simply cannot make it from lunch to dinner without chewing arm off, eat 1 apple.  The average apple has less than 100 caloies, is nutrient-rich, represents a serving of fruit, and contains Leptin.  Leptin is a special type of plant protein that helps control appetite.  Organic is always better, but any apple will do fine.

One last tip:   In order to maximize your weight loss, try eating your last serving of soup before 6 pm… and do not eat anything else after that.  The advantages of this meal-timing was discussed in a previous blog post.

So, to recap, here are the tips for sticking to (and being successful with) the Fat Burning Soup Diet:

1. Any diet will fail without portion control, even this one!
2. Choose soups that are lower in carbohydrates (most important)
3. Choose soups that are lower in calories (not quite as important as lower carbs)
4. Choose several soups (at least three or four) to add variety to this diet
5. Cook the soups well ahead of time, so they are convenient to prepare and serve
6. Store your soups in the freezer in small, portion-sized containers… this way, you will be less-likely to overeat
7. Eat one bowl of soup for lunch
8. Eat one bowl of soup for dinner
9. If you have trouble making it till dinner, eat 1 apple (the size of the apple doesn’t matter)
10. For best results, eat your last bowl of soup (dinner) before 6 pm (as discussed in this post)

I will be posting some specific soup recipes in the future, so check back often.  Each and every soup will be pre-screened to ensure that it will be perfect for the Fat Burning Soup Diet.
