Portion Control Diet

Soup
Soup is a nutritious way to lose Weight!
I love soup and would to consume a whole can of soup, which is usually two servings. To stop that habit, I now portion out the soup into two equal servings. I use re-sealable soup bowls to divide the can of soup into two equal servings. The bowl is microwave safe, has a re-sealable lid and is easy to clean in then the dishwasher.
