SLIM with soup
A hearty bowl of vegetable soup may be a slimming lunch selection.
Research reveals that foods with a high water content, such as soup, may help reduce the number of calories you consume while still helping you feel full. In a study, people who ate soup for lunch consumed fewer calories at their meal compared to people who had a serving of casserole for lunch, but the soup sippers felt just as full at the end of the meal.
Oversize portions, larger hamburger buns and their ‘hungry man packed’ contents.. jumbo platters that used to satisfyingly feed a family of four or five are now plunked down in front of already fat folks, who were brought up "never to insult the cook by leaving any food on their plate" and oftentimes also that of whoever they happen to be sitting with, and didn’t finish theirs...So...
Slim down with a sensible plan of healthy eating and exercise. The best way to avoid excess pounds is to incorporate nutritious, low-calorie foods and regular physical activity into your daily routine.
To avoid overeating, exercise portion control by measuring food servings with cup measures or scales, eat plenty of high-fiber foods that are more filling, drink plenty of water before meals to suppress your appetite, and use smaller plates so that the urge to eat the plate clean is less likely to get you into trouble.
Obesity not only increases a person's risk of kidney stones, but it also increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gall bladder problems, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, and certain types of cancer.
Besides the contributing causes for excess weight and obesity , we also need to acknowledge the sedentary lifestyles of a nation whose high percentages of inhabitants don’t walk enough...or exercise at all, or rarely. You have the basic, major contributing factors to humongous waistlines, bellies, thighs, double/ triple chins that flap back and forth as the main body waddles about awkwardly...
Small fries...Large fries...
And, we must not overlook our beloved children...affectionately called "small fries" (today’s too-often, more appropriately "Large fries" I hate to say)...as well as our teenage adolescents...and our fat infants and toddlers...to make the picture complete.
