Losing
and maintaining a healthy weight is an on-going battle for many. The worst part
is hunger! Imagine if there was a way to lose weight and keep it off and never
be hungry again?
Well
there is and it is a dieters best kept secret until now and that is eating soup
every day! I don’t mean eating the same soup every day as that would be
nutritionally not healthy and very boring!
The soup secret is simply this: if you eat the food and drink
the water, you will feel full for a couple of hours before hunger kicks in. But
if you blend the food with the water to make soup you will stay hunger-free for
much longer, and less likely to snack through the afternoon.
Scientists
have used ultrasound and MRI scans of people's stomachs to investigate what
happens after eating solid-food-plus-water meals compared with the same food
made into soup with some very surprising results.
This is what they found out: after you eat a meal, the
pyloric sphincter valve at the bottom of your stomach holds food back so that
the digestive juices can get to work. Water, however, passes straight through
the sphincter to your intestines, so drinking water does not contribute to
"filling you up".
When you eat the same meal as a
soup, the
whole mixture remains in the stomach, because the water and food are blended
together. The scientists' scans confirm that the stomach stays fuller for
longer, staving off those hunger pangs.
How wonderful is
that!
Simply by combining those same foods with water to make soup, you stay fuller a
lot longer thus eliminating the need to eat those fattening snacks
mid-afternoon.
