       INTRODUCTION:

      HEALTH IN A BOWL—LOOK AND FEEL GOOD WITH SOUP!

       Whether you’re trying to lose weight or just to get more healthy, soup is the ultimate convenience food: easy to make, filling and low in calories. Soup is never boring. It can be thick or thin, smooth or chunky, or a combination of the two. Healthy ingredients and power foods can be combined easily and deliciously to maximize weight-loss or combat ailments. If you want to lose weight, soup can help to release hidden water retention, control appetite, stimulate metabolism and promote fat-loss. You can add ingredients to promote the good health of arteries, bones, skin and hormones; or others to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol and fight the causes of arthritis. What more could you ask for from a meal? Is there no limit to what soup can do?

      So how does it work? The Big Healthy Soup Diet is the ultimate food-combining system. It’s all about putting in the right ingredients and power foods for what you want to achieve, and then waiting for the results. If you want to lose weight there’s no need to choose between low-carb, low-calorie, detox, food-combining, glycaemic index, water-release or cabbage soup diets when you can have them all rolled into one. As a nutritionist, I find that soup gets you to your target weight faster and more easily than anything else The ancient food-combining wisdom of Oriental and Ayurvedic medicine can also be applied to soup—it is so incredibly versatile. The recipes are all here for you. With the Big Healthy Soup Diet you will learn how to lose not just excess body fat, but also hidden water retention, a common cause of excess weight that cannot be shifted with normal diets. The result is maximum weight-loss for minimum effort!

      Many of the soups in this book make satisfying one-pot meals. Best of all, you can return for second helpings as you won’t be piling on the calories. The warmth and liquid of soup fill you up quickly, and the recipes make extensive use of ingredients rich in soluble fibre. This means you get minimal calories while slowing down carbohydrate absorption, helping to prevent surges in the hormones that stimulate appetite.

      If you are currently following a diet and don’t feel ready just yet to make a change, don’t worry—the Big Healthy Soup Diet has lots of recipes suitable for conventional low-carb and detox diets.

      On the other hand, if you’ve bought this book just to be healthy, and don’t need to lose weight, then simply add the soup recipes to your normal diet. A large bowl of soup can provide the recommended three servings a day of fresh vegetables, which help to prevent cancer and heart disease. And there are fruit soup recipes too. The recipes are full of power foods to help rejuvenate your body systems, balance your hormones and combat the effects of stress.
