A good, painless and healthy way to loose some weight is to have some soup before your main course. By this I mean, soups like vegetable, manhattan clam chowder, tomato, chicken noodle, etc. Stay away from cream type soups or only have them now & then. The soup will fill you up and you will eat less. It is also a good way to get some veggies in your diet. There is a veggie soup called "diet soup" that is very tasty and healthy and you can have as much of it as often as you like and you will shed quite a few pounds. Basically it is chicken broth, to which you would add chopped veggies (onion,carrots,spinach,green & red pepper, zucchini, chopped tomato ,celery, a potato) Spice it up with dried basil, oregano, salt, pepper and a dash of cayenne pepper, dried celery leaves. Before you eat this, add some noodles or brown rice or small type of pasta.Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese on top and enjoy.
This soup is actually quite good and is enjoyed by those even not dieting.
If you add some brisk walking several times a week, you got it made. Leslie Sansone has "Walk Away the Pounds" videos/dvd's and they are very good to use indoors...and you will break out a sweat.
