Protein Power Soup Diet

The advantages to consuming a partially liquid weight loss diet are many. First, you will be able to more easily prepare your meals in bulk, as one pot of soup can last many days. Second, liquid diets reduce your risk of cheating, as you will not be making any meal choices while hungry, avoiding temptation. Finally, a liquid diet is extremely convenient--allowing you to reach your goals with a minimal amount of fuss. If you have been considering a partially liquid weight loss diet, the protein power soup plan is a safe route to take.

About the Protein Power Soup Plan

The Protein Power Soup Plan was originally designed as a healthier variant of the popular Cabbage Soup Diet. While the Cabbage Soup Diet was widely criticized as being unduly restrictive, thus exceedingly difficult to follow, the Protein Power Soup Plan is a more reasonable take on sustainable health and fitness, allowing you to reach your goals in a timely fashion without senseless deprivation, which could lead to possible malnutrition. Avoiding these risks, the Protein Power Soup Plan is a moderate approach to dieting that will allow you to shed pounds without shedding sanity in the process.

Following the Protein Power Soup Plan

The Protein Power Soup Plan is focused around three main meals throughout the day. Your first meal of the day will consist of solid food, while your second and third meals will consist of pre-prepared soup. Unlike other liquid plans, which schedule your solid meal at night, having a solid meal first thing in the morning is advantageous, because even if you consume a less-than-healthy meal, you will likely burn off those calories throughout the day instead of storing them as fat overnight. Nevertheless, your breakfast while on the plan should be a healthy, well-rounded meal. Sample suggestions include: bacon and eggs with a bowl of fresh berries, yogurt with added protein powder, or (for those without the time to cook) a protein shake smoothie made with protein powder, fruit and milk.

The bulk of your meal consumption while on the plan will be soup. You should prepare large batches of soup in advance so that you are never strapped for food on short notice. The soup is made with carrots, celery, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, skinless diced chicken, onions and a small splash of olive oil. The chicken will give the soup a relatively high amount of protein per serving, which is important as protein boosts satiety while on a diet and helps your body burn additional calories by stimulating the metabolism. Although each serving will have a fair number of carbs, as those carbs are from fruits and vegetables, they will have a negligible impact on blood sugar, thus not interfering with your weight loss goals. Consume a bowl or two of soup for lunch and dinner, and watch the pounds fly off.
