Goodness of low calorie soup

Wondering how to stop all that calorie-rich food from going down your throat at mealtimes? Well, the answer is simple - start having low calorie soup. A study conducted by researchers at Penn State, US, has shown that people who have low calorie soup before a meal tend to reduce their total calorie intake by 20 percent, when compared to the times they did not eat soup. Julie Flood, doctoral student in nutritional sciences at Penn State and co-author of the research, said the work added weight to earlier studies on the subject. “Consuming a first course of low calorie soup in a variety of forms, can help with managing weight as is shown in this research and earlier studies. Using this strategy allows people to get an extra course at the meal while eating fewer total calories.”
