Dieters who experience extraordinary weight loss often mention in passing that they used 'plain' soup to feel full while eating less. And scientists confirm broth-based soups do kill hunger for fewer calories than virtually any other food. But they also say this: We tend to look at soup like it's Clark Kent when we should really see Superman. Simmer up a pot of broth, tomatoes, greens, beans, spices, olive oil and more, and "that's Superman soup," insists renowned researcher William Li, MD, author of mega-sellers Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet. "The ingredients aren't just good for health overall, they help strengthen metabolism and strip away excess body fat." The impact on the scale can be so impressive, dieters who tested a Superman soup for us found themselves dropping up to 2 pounds a day!
You might've heard about famous Penn State studies showing that broth-based soup has a unique impact on body chemistry, one that causes appetite to shrink by 400 calories. This allows us to eat less without feeling deprived, even if we choose low-veggie varieties like canned chicken noodle.
And soup makes it easy to go to the next level, says Dr. Li. That's because so many ingredients are exceptionally rich in bioactives, which the doc describes as microscopic compounds that trigger our cells to do amazing things.
A little backstory: Dr. Li has done groundbreaking work on bioactives, helping improve medical treatment for more than 70 health conditions, including diabetes, cancer and blindness. Though supplements are part of it, his preference is to use food as medicine. And as his devotees loaded up on bioactive-rich options including produce, whole grains, good fats, herbs, spices, even some high-quality protein many reported a suddenly shrinking waistline. Dr. Li turned to science to find out why. "I learned there are multiple ways bioactives can cause weight loss," he shares. All are at play in Superman soups.
