Soup: The Secret Weapon to Keep Your Weight Under Control

More than half (51 percent) of those who made this resolution in the past have only been able to stick to this goal for a month or less. "It's no surprise that people fall off the bandwagon so quickly when trying to lose weight, considering the many cultural obstacles we all face," said Dr. Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., Guthrie Chair in Nutritional Sciences at Penn State University.
Dr. Rolls is also the author of The Volumetrics Weight- Control Plan and The Volumetrics Eating Plan, the first books to promote the scientific principles of satiety -- the body's signal that it is full. A key finding in Dr. Rolls' 25-year career in research: "Soup is a secret weapon for weight control."
In fact, 66 percent of people recently surveyed said they believe eating broth-based soup is a helpful way to feel full and satisfied when watching their weight. According to Rolls, research supports this behavior because consuming soup as the first course of a meal can help individuals to control calories. One study found that people who ate soup with a meal consumed about 100 fewer calories on average during their entire meal.
