Weight Loss Tip: Low Carb Soup

For me, getting on a low carb diet seemed like a dream come true. The low carb Atkins meal plan allowed me to eat as much as I wanted of most of my favorite foods. I love steak, ham, bacon, cheese, omelettes, and all other things meaty. So far, I’ve lost over 15lbs using this approach.

But it does get a bit boring at times. And it it wasn’t for a weight loss tip given to me by a friend about low carb soup, I might have dropped out entirely.

Learning about low carb soup, in fact, opened a new world of possibilities for me. I have always loved soup, and it’s really easy to make. Learning to cook low carb soup almost doubled the choices I had for my meals!
Since cream isn’t high in carbohydrates, all you have to do to make low carb chowder is to cut out the potatoes. Same for coconut milk – a great additive for Thai style soups. That isn’t that hard, is it?

Of course, if you want to make a really good low carb soup, You need to do things the right way. It is amazing how much better a soup prepared by boiling a soup bone tastes than one made with stock cubes.
