Low Calorie Soups to reduce weight

Hi

Hi Honey bee,

Thanks for your FB. Yester day I tried one more soup.

Just 1 cup of cut lettuce, 1 cup grated carrots and some green chilies.

Really it was good. Try this once.

Hi Vidya,

I am trying to give you about Dr. Broilers broth. Thanks for you FB too.

 

Hi Vidya,

Hi Vidya,
Go through this and know about Broth. Some Dr. gave the soup recipe with vegetable broth to reduce weight. I am planning to post those here. But not from the same Dr. But some other Dr.

Bye for now,
Krishna amma


Broth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Broth is a liquid in which meat, fish, cereal grains, or vegetables have been simmered and strained out.
Broth is used as a basis for other edible liquids such as soup, gravy, or sauce.
It can be eaten alone or with garnish (food).
Broth differs from soup stock, in that stock requires bones and water; whilst broth requires the meat instead of bones.
Broth is not cooked as long as soup stock and has a milder taste.
Broth also contains less gelée, or gelatin because bones are not used.
While these definitions are popular they are not universally accepted, and often the terms are used interchangeably (as in "vegetable stock", or a liquid that's been made with both meat and bones served as soup).
When it is necessary to clarify a broth (i.e. for a cleaner presentation), egg whites may be added during simmering—the egg whites will coagulate, trapping sediment and turbidity into a readily strainable mass.
In East Asia (particularly Japan), a form of kelp called kombu is often used as the basis for broths (called dashi in Japanese).
In industrial processing the term "Broth" or "Toxic Broth" is often used to describe chemically saturated liquid waste that is unfit for release into a municipal sewage system.
Scientifically, broths such as chicken and beef broths make excellent mediums in which bacteria can grow in, due to the abundant source of food, nutrients, and energy.

 

Dont worry

Hi Rupa,

Thank you for your FB. dont worry. You can reduce your weight. Regularly take that cabbage soup. I am trying to put another thread for low calorie break fast and lunch. Before that you go through the GM diet plan. I followed ' 7 days plan 'similer to that. with in 15 days I was able to reduce 6.5 kgs. But doctor adviced me to reduce only 2 to 4 kgs per month. So I am somewhat relaxed.

But somebody said that after stoping the cabbage soup they are gaining weight. But till this date I am not gaining. (I am following the diet from July 2006) Along with your diet 45 min. to 1 hour walking is a must.Then only we can burn calories. This is as per my doctor.

So eat less and burn more. I am planning to post my experience in this. So that who ever needs can follow. Please wait.
