Leftover Soup For Weight Loss
Recipes | December 27, 2012
This soup out of leftovers saved my life last night. I had my dinner around 6pm and I thought that I won’t be hungry. Boy I was wrong! I got hungry around 10pm and I wasn’t going to sleep for another 2 hours, so I had to do something. I wanted to avoid snacking on all those cookies, chocolates, and treats that we have plenty of at home from Christmas. I looked in the fridge and this is what I found. Enjoy this leftover soup for weight loss.
3 large carrots, 1 small red potato, 1 stalk of romaine lettuce, 1 medium size onion, small parsley root, about a handful of parsley leaf, 1 egg, 1 cup of chicken broth and about 1/4 cup of coconut milk.
All I had to do was to chop, mix it in a medium size pot that was half way full of water, and cook it until the carrots were soft. About 12-15 minutes. Done. I love soups and the great thing about this one was that I used leftovers, it was low in calories, and it filled me up. Anything that is made out of super foods, is dense in nutrients and low in calories is great for weight loss. Or in my case weight maintenance.
Ok, I admit it. I threw a few goldfish into my bowl of soup. Still better then horfing down the 5lb chocolate bar that I got for Christmas 🙂 haha.
What do you do when you get hungry at night? Do you snack? What do you eat? Do you eat at all at night?
Always looking forward to reading your comments.
Best,

I do snack quite a bit in the evening and what works well for me is the chex cereal. It is pretty low in calories and if you eat it dry it is good at satisfying the need for a “crunch” like I get with chips. Plus as a bonus it has lots of iron! I am quite fond of the cinnamon ones but the other flavors are good too. OR rice chex with some melted PB on top…yum.

Hi Z!
Hope you had a fantastic holiday! Was just wondering what the “goldfish” were made out of? I live in New Zealand and haven’t seen them before. Great recipe btw, I’m a soup person too!
Thanks,

Goldfish is not a healthy snack. It’s just another processed food that taste good.

I drink a full glass of water first to make sure I’m not just thirsty. I may even drink some plain hot tea. If I’m still hungry I try to eat something small with protein like cheese or lunch meat. Bonus the puppies always beg for it so I eat less and give them a little

I usually like to snack on cottage cheese, I add fruit or honey and it tastes wonderful and if fills me up.

I wrap a cherry tomato in a slice of edmer or gouda :P… Or eat a very small cup of turkish yogurt with a teaspoon of real honey, some nuts and a little bit of cereal or granola :).
