Soup

There are days when you want to indulge to your heart's content and feast like there is no tomorrow, and then there are days you want to go light on your tummy with a piping hot bowl of soup. Wanting to curl up in bed, sipping into the warm and soothing delight does not make you any less of a foodie; in fact, it is a great way to cleanse your body. Soups are also an ideal choice for those trying to fight cold, cough and flu as they help the body replenish all lost nutrients. Another great benefit of soups that is making a buzz in the world of nutrition is its role in burning fat.
 
Here's how soups make for a good bet for weight loss:

• The liquid quotient of the soup, not only keeps you hydrated but also satiated for a long time without the cost of too many calories. 
• There is enough room to experiment with soups. You can throw in your favourite veggies, meat, herbs and spices to make yourself a healthy and weight-loss friendly delight. Choose veggies that are high in fibre. 
• Souping ensures you do not lose out on healthy fibres, as is the case with juicing. 
• Don't shy away from sprucing up your soup with your favourite spices. Hot spices like black pepper, cinnamon, and paprika are said to aid weight loss due to their metabolism boosting properties
