Preloading with soup

Postby symbas » Sun Jan 10, 2021 9:28 pm

Hello again,
I have been following MWL for 2 weeks, and making recipes from MWL book.
A number of the soup recipes call for starch bean component.
Is it acceptable to eat a cup of these soups ,as the soup prior to my meal, which consists , of course, of non starchy vegies and starch again?
Thanks so much.

@symbas Preloading means eating something very low in calorie density, such as salad or a soup based on non-starchy vegetables, as the first part of your meal. A starchier soup is higher in calorie density and doesn’t work as well as a preload. Jeff's article "On Salad, Soup and Success" discusses this in detail.

Your heartier soup would, however, work well as part of your meal, as Jeff points out.

Thanks for referring me to the appropriate info!
Non-Starchy soup on the stove, ready to go!
It's also good info in that, I was making, eating soup, then prepping non starchy vegies and starch component.for 50/50 plate.
Helpful to know I can eat the soups, chock a block full, and then startchy component.
