One of my tricks is Lentil Soup. The average can of lentil soup is around 250-300 and has about 15-17 grams of fiber. In other words, it is just about the healthiest thing you can put in your body!The only problem is the sodium content, however with that much fiber, I wouldn't even think about it. I like to eat lentil soup with high fiber crackers or pretzels. You can also eat a simple side salad (with a low calorie vinaigrette dressing) if you want a little more with the meal.
Try having this combination for lunch or dinner once or twice a week. I promise you, it will make a HUGE difference. Every little step you take to add fiber into your diet, the healthier you will be and the more weight you will lose! :)
Here are my favorite brands of lentil soul and my suggestions for delicious and healthy crackers and pretzels:
Bon Appetite! :)
I'm having it for dinner right now...wishing you were here to add some goldfish in the mix. Love you, thanks for the yet another great nutrition post.
ReplyDeleteNever tried lentil soup...but I might need to! I make a black bean and quinoa soup that's got quite a bit of protein and fiber with minimal calories. It's also REALLY filling, so I end up not eating as much.
