A Chicken (soup) a Day Keeps the Doctor Away!

Chicken a Day Copyright ZeroCaloridKid 2016


The cure for what ails you is Chicken soup, at least that's what mama always said. But the reason mama's chicken soup was so good was that she made it creamy thru the addition of butter and yes cream!! That adds tons of calories. The hot broth is the beneficial part. It is so mild that it can even be given to infants. For most of us we don't want soup per se everyday. But we do need some protein, even if your vegan. Find some way to squeeze it in your diet. If you do like soup then it is easy to add some without the calories-- make it yourself so you control the ingredients. I use some bouillion with celery, green onions, mushrooms, a few carrot shreds, chives, parsley, garlic and salt and pepper. If I am in a hurry I grab some instant miso soup= very lo calorie, or lipton's instant cup of soup for 50 calories. Use the freshest ingredients you can find, and the best you can afford. IF you are fasting, restricting or dieting, then eat kosher or organic. It may cost more especially for cuts of meat but since you are only eating a mouse size portion, you won't be breaking the bank. Don't treat your stomach like a garbage can. You deserve the best so only eat the best! So don't feel guilty if you have to put your own stockpile of special food in your own special area. I live in a blended house so we share a freezer. One person got a zip up thermal bag that you buy in the grocery store to keep your frozen items cold until you get home, and they put all their stuff in it in the freezer with their name on it. Nobody else can even see what's inside! You could do this for the pantry or fridge as well by getting some plastic containers that nobody can see into and put your name on them. Keep it under your bed or in your closet if you have to. Making healthy choices means you choose to follow thru by having healthy options around when you need them.  You have to be your own health police, even if that means eating soup everyday!!
