It’s almost two month’s in to the New Year’s Resolution thing and I don’t know about you, but I’m struggling to keep on any semblance of a weight loss program. The recent travel to Austin and Disney have been fun, but the weight that I had planned to lose is still there.
One of the easiest ways that I’ve found to keep me from bingeing like crazy is to have a low calorie, low fat lunch (since it’s my least favorite meal of the day). Since I can handle opening a can of soup and heating it up without Cook’s help, this is one of my favorite (easy) lunches.
Progresso has a line of soups ALL under 100 calories a serving as well as a line of LIGHT SOUP. For me, this is a great way to fill up mid-day with less calories than a sandwich and lots of great flavor. Plus, it being winter (yes, even here in sunny Florida it’s been cold), it’s a great way to warm up from the inside out.
With surprisingly hearty ingredients like pasta, beans, corn and rice, and vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and peppers, Progresso Light and 100 Calorie Soups offer varieties with a good source of fiber and a full serving of vegetables. Satisfying your taste buds, Progresso Light and 100 Calories Soups can help curb your hunger, making it easier for you to stick to your weight management plan. If you’re on Weight Watchers – Progresso’s Light Soups are only 0 or 1 point per serving.
Of course some of them I LOVE, and others aren’t really to my liking, but the nice thing is that Progresso has such a LARGE variety of flavors, that it’s easy to pick soups that you’ll enjoy. There are 40 (yes, I said FORTY) soups all under 100 calories a serving. I prefer soups with a LOT of flavor, like their Zesty Santa Fe Style Chicken as well as the classics like Chicken Noodle (I’m not a big fan of things like French Onion Soup, unless it’s covered in melted cheese and has French Bread floating in it – no dieting there).
In order to celebrate these great soups, Progresso is giving YOU the chance for a NEW you. From now until March 15th you can enter the “Souper You Debut” contest to win a FULL MAKEOVER in New York City!
