Soups for Athletes and Weight Loss
Soups are great if made with healthy ingredients. The biggest problem is when cooks use milk regularly in making soups. Milk contains saturated fat, a sugar called lactose which is very difficult to digest. The second problem with soup is cornflour. It's best to avoid cornflour in your soup as it will push up your blood sugar levels and slow down the fat burning process. Most restaurants toss some cornflour into their soups so beware of that.
