Research shows soup can reduce food cravings
As a nutritionist who has suffered from sugar and chocolate addictions and really loves to eat, I am especially motivated to study the weight loss aspect of nutrition. I do find that most of the diets around at the moment don't really address food cravings. If your cravings aren't reduced then you will simply start bingeing as soon as you come off your diet. New research shows that eating soup does reduce cravings for other foods. Soup is a great convenience food. It can be thick or thin, smooth or chunky. Healthy ingredients and power foods can be combined effortlessly. Some power foods slow down carbohydrate absorption and help to prevent surges in the hormones which stimulate appetite. This book has 60 soup recipes from many different world regions. Many make satisfying one-pot meals. They are coded according to their suitability for GI diets and conventional low-carb and detox diets. There are also several new cabbage soup recipes. One or two of the book's recipes are medicinal rather than tasty, but the Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Soup, Avocado Salsa Soup, Broad Bean Soup with Apple and Radish, Carrot Chicken and Sweetcorn Spicy Chowder, and Seafood Bisque Cooked French-Style are irresistible.

Health in a bowl
I received this book as a Christmas Gift and couldn't wait to get started with the recipes after the over-eating festivities. I suppose this book appealed to me as I love making soup, so new recipes and a list of the benefits of specific food groups was of interest. Linda Lazarides backs up the claims with sound quoted research. If you are a fan of one-pot cooking as I am, want to have more energy, lose weight healthily, then you will love this book. Linda's website is also worth viewing.

The Big Healthy Soup Diet
Well what can I say other than I'm very disappointed. I love trying different diets out, always hoping to shifts those few extra pounds, and I love soup so when I saw this book I thought what a perfect combination and healthy too!! The New Year arrived and off I went to various shops to buy the various ingredients for the four day mini detox, bought myself a hand blender and was ready to go. Day one, breakfast was nice, lunch not so nice and dinner was yuk. This pattern didn't get any better. I completed the four days vowing to never again eat Water Release Soup,(in truth I wouldn't choose to make any of the soups listed in this section again), I jumped optimistically onto the scales only to find that I had gained a pound in weight. Not the desired result. Anyway, I may try some of the other recipes, but I can honestly say that, so far, some of the soups have been both time consuming and fiddly to make, and none of the end results have not been worth the effort.
