Rachael Ray's Rx For A Better Winter Body!

                          Stay Slim This Winter! 

Winter weight gain happens to a lot of people starting around Halloween, 

why? Shorter days and nights, less sunlight, the cold weather outdoors,
and of course, the non-stop food choices from Oct. right up until Valentine's
day.
So, do you just live with it and get in shape in March?
No, you do what Ms. Ray did on her popular show and keep those
Winter pound away.
And what was the thing Ms. Ray did on her show?
She made soup.

That's right, soup has been popular in Japan for centuries and
it may be one of the reasons they don't struggle with weight issues
like their American counterparts.

Why is soup so effective?
The water in soup increases in volume and that volume helps activate
the stretch receptors in your stomach, helping you to feel fuller faster
and more satisfied.


Will any soup do?
No, not the types made with fattening meats, (beef or pork ribs), cheeses
and croutons. It's best to stick with soups made with beef or chicken
broths and a few types of vegetables.

Is Canned Soup Okay?
Yes, in fact, try the new brands of gluten-free soups from Progresso,
Wolfgang Puck, or Amy's Organics. Or go online to Google or Bing
and type in recipes for low-cal soups.

When should you eat the soup?
It's best to eat the soup 30 to 40 mins. before a big meal or before
attending a big event, (A Christmas party).

That's it, your Rx for staying slim and trim this Winter.

Good Luck!
