If you are on a journey towards better well-being and more weight loss, you may be unsure of what to eat during the cold winter months. Many people tend to gain weight this time of year, especially due to the abundance of holiday foods. However, you can stay on track for your goals by swapping out unhealthy choices for lower calorie (but still satisfying!) soups. Discover some of the best choices below.
Split Pea
Split pea soup is a classic winter time choice full of fiber and protein. You can make this soup even more healthy by ditching traditional fatty bases (such as lard) with more nutritious options. A small portion of this soup is ideal as a pre-workout snack, as it is satisfying enough to get you through the session.
Vegetable Soup
Vegetable soups tend to be loaded with fiber and whole grain sources such as rice and barley. They are an ideal addition to your weight loss plan as they are filling and low in calories. Be careful of pre-made vegetable soups, as they tend to be high in sodium, which can disrupt your diet. If possible, make your own or opt for low-sodium options.
Sticking to your weight loss goals this winter is easier said than done, but doesn’t need to feel impossible. By implementing healthier nutritional choices such as soups, you can stay on track. The MAX Challenge of Houston is ready to help!
