Many of us find ourselves fighting the temptation of grabbing a quick lunch from a fast food restaurant on a daily basis. For one thing, fast food is convenient and affordable.

As well, it’s quite difficult - if not impossible - to find anything “clean” to eat in a fast food restaurant since even salads sometimes include preservatives.

Giving up your favorite pasta when going on a low-carb diet or similar weight loss plan isn’t always easy.

This is especially the case with pasta made with refined white flour, which is what many of us tend to eat.

Many of us only think about eating soup when we’re sick or if it’s cold outside. However, a delicious bowl of rich, nourishing soup has a way of making anyone feel good any time.

One reason why eating soup helps with weight loss is because it contains so much water; this helps fill you up with fewer calories. Another good reason is because most soup recipes include plenty of nutritious ingredients that your body needs to stay healthy.
