Low Carb Soups
Losing Body Fat
greasy and meaty. In the past, these foods have led to a lot of weight gain, but now I could eat these sinful food products and drop the pounds that they had helped me to put on. What I didn't see was the other side of this diet plan: it ruined my favorite foods for me!
You see, even if you are eating Filet mignon three times daily, it is only so long before you'll get sick of it. The same goes for ham, sausage, omelettes, and all of the other mainstay foods in the Atkins diet. The problem is that people use little creativity when they are preparing low carbohydrate meals. Protein is what you should be eating, and what is a more obvious source of protein than a big portion of greasy, fatty meat? After all, isn't that the lure of the low carb diet in the first place? You get to eat nothing but meat and still lose weight at the same time! However, once the novelty wears off, it all starts to taste disgusting. If it weren't for low carb soup, I would have dropped out of the program entirely.
Learning about low carb soup, in fact, opened a whole new world of possibilities for me. I have always loved soup, but I have never cooked it very often. I always thought that it was hard to make, but this wasn't the case. As a matter of fact, learning to cook low carb soup almost doubled my mea choices! Many of the best known traditional soups, from New England clam chowder, to chicken soup, to miso soup, are easy to adapt to a low carb lifestyle. Since cream isn't high in carbohydrates, all you have to do to make some low carb chowder is to cut out the potatoes. That isn't so hard, is it?
Of course, if you want to make a really good low carb soup, You need to do things the traditional way. It's amazing how much better a soup prepared by boiling a soup bone tastes than one made with bullion cubes. Once you try out low carb soups you make from scratch, you'll never go back. They may take a long time, but they'll also last a long time, so it is worth it.
For me, following a low carb diet seemed like a dream come true. The low carb Atkins diet plan allowed me to eat as much as I wanted of many of my favorite foods. I love steak, ham, sausage, cheese, omelettes, and all other things
