How to eat soup?
Drinking soup regularly, several times a week, helps limit the number of calories you bring to your body. It is an excellent way to lose weight effectively and gradually. Ideally, it should be eaten at the evening meal, as this is the time when your body burns the fewest calories. As part of a slimming diet, it is recommended to bring a dose of protein and vegetables.
