6 Worst Soups in America

Soup may be the ultimate comfort food. It’s warm, it’s nourishing, and you don’t even have to chew it. No wonder Mom made it whenever you were sad, cold, or just plain under the weather.


But here’s a dirty little secret: A lot of soups out there aren’t comfort food at all. They’re discomfort food. That’s because they can make for a lot of discomfort every time you step on the scale, test your blood pressure, or try to squeeze into last year’s swimsuit. Everybody likes a nice, rich broth, but some soups are the Donald Trumps of food: too rich, too thick, and ultimately, full of nonsense. (And like the Donald, some are pretty darn salty, too!)

So whether you’re watching your weight, your blood pressure, or just your general health, take a second look at what’s in your bowl. Here’s how to spot a bad bisque, quick!

6. WORST LEGUME-BASED SOUP

Amy’s Organic Soups, Indian Dal Curried Lentil (2 cups/1 can)


460 calories
16 g fat (2 g saturated)
1,360 mg sodium

Dal is a healthy staple throughout the Indian subcontinent, but in Amy’s version, these legumes are awash in fat. Each can contains more than a full tablespoon of vegetable oil, which contributes nearly a third of the total calories. Switch to Amy's Light in Sodium Split Pea, instead. It cuts calories and sodium by more than half and provides a hunger-crushing 12 grams of fiber.

Eat This Instead!


Amy's Light in Sodium Split Pea Soup (2 cups/1 can)

200 calories
0 g fat (0 g saturated)
660 mg sodium

5. WORST POTATO SOUP

Pacific Natural Foods Organic Rosemary Potato Chowder (2 cups/1 container)


460 calories
16 g fat (10 g saturated)
1,460 mg sodium

Pacific’s soup may be natural and organic, but with this much cream, it's certainly not light. With an escalated calorie count and half a day’s saturated fat, this chowder seems like it should be served from a fast food window. In fact, you'd take in fewer calories if you ate a McDonald’s 4-piece Chicken McNuggets with small fries.

with small fries.


Eat This Instead!

Pacific Natural Foods Organic Butternut Squash Bisque (2 cups/1 container)

220 calories
7 g fat (3 g saturated)
1,020 mg sodium

4. WORST SEAFOOD SOUP

TGI Friday’s New England Clam Chowder


500 calories
18 g saturated fat
1,560 mg sodium

When it comes to chowder, it's all about region: Manhattan-style relies on a tomato base, whereas New Englanders prefer a far fattier cream base. That detail makes all the difference, as evidenced here by Friday's 500-calorie chowder. Switch to Manhattan or, when at Friday's, this Chicken Noodle instead and you cut the saturated fat load by more than 80 percent!

Eat This Instead!


TGI Friday's Chicken Noodle

250 calories
3 g saturated fat
1,240 mg sodium

3. WORST CHOWDER

Au Bon Pain Corn Chowder (large)

510 calories
26 g fat (12 g saturated)
1,640 mg sodium

The other problem with chowders: They can be weighed down by high-calorie dairy ingredients. Milk and half and half sit atop this one's ingredient list, followed shortly thereafter by heavy cream and butter. The result is a bowl of soup that swallows up 60 percent of your saturated fat allowance for the entire day. Get your Tex-Mex fill for fewer than the half the calories by switching to the Southwest Vegetable Soup instead. Make a trade like this for lunch every day and you'll lose more than half a pound each week!


Eat This Instead!


Au Bon Pain Southwest Vegetable Soup (large)

250 calories
7 g fat (1 g saturated)
580 mg sodium

2. WORST VEGETABLE SOUP

Cosi Tomato Basil Aurora (large)


597 calories
54 g fat (33 g saturated, 3 g trans)
1,701 mg sodium

Tomato soup is one of the good guys, right? While typically this is true, a single bowl of Cosi's bisque will saddle you with more than 1.5 days' maximum allotment of saturated fat, not to mention a dangerous glut of trans fat. Here are a few foods than contain less saturated and trans fat: Burger King Triple Whopper, 13 Taco Bell Steak Nacho Cheese Chalupas, and an entire medium-sized pepperoni pizza from Domino's. Switch to the Moroccan Lentil Soup for less than half the calories and an impressive 15 grams of fiber. Cosi's soups tend to be on the salty side, though, so stick to a regular serving size to keep the sodium levels in check.

Eat This Instead!


Cosi Moroccan Lentil Soup (regular)

238 calories
4 g fat (0 g saturated)
1,225 mg sodium

1. WORST STEW

Panera All-Natural Sonoma Chicken Stew with Mini Dry Jack Biscuit


630 calories
34 g fat (20 g saturated, 1 g trans)
2,030 mg sodium

Panera’s chicken stew sinks to the bottom of this list thanks to its precipitous calorie count, a full day's saturated fat, and nearly a full day's worth of sodium. This stew fares poorly across every major nutritional category, which makes it the worst bowl in America. Switch to the Garden Vegetable Soup instead, which delivers three times the fiber with a mere fraction of the calories.

Eat This Instead!


Panera Low Fat Garden Vegetable with Pesto

150 calories
5 g fat (1 g saturated)
930 mg sodium

IDEAS CARRY MOODS

IDEAS CARRY MOODS


Thomas Huxley said, "The great end of life
is not knowledge but action."

"The greatest sin against success is in not doing wrong; it's in doing nothing!

There is a powerful tendency to procrastinate, to forget, to lose interest, to get lazy, to get discouraged, to get rusty.

There are often side interests which slow us down or get us off the track.

With inactivity,we soon lose confidence in our ability.

We either lie down, it down, or fall down on the job.

A little emotion injected into the heart and mind of men is a great motivator.

A soldier might prepare himself for battle by reading war stories and thinking thoughts of heroism and patriotism.

Remember this:

"Ideas carry moods. We can change our mood by changing our ideas and imagination.

Gather motivational material that will give you great thoughts and great ideas and teach you how to motivate yourself."

-Marty Ozaeta

The energy from a smile goes unspoken.


When YOU wake up – try it…smile! When you wake your children up – try it…smile at them, get them to smile with you! Follow up with a good morning hug.

Move simply means Move


Instead of just dragging yourself out of bed, jumping in the shower and filling your body with coffee- take 5 and do some basic stretches or a 15 minute Velocity Performance Training Workout

Even better ….get your children involved! It can be as simple as reaching for the ceiling and bending over to reach for the floor.


Be sure you drink a Big glass of water too! Being hydrated ensures a boost of energy!

Music has the ability to calm, soothe and entertain the soul. Play something soothing like Enya or go all out with something fun and upbeat.

Good Morning Sunshine!

How would you describe the conversations you have with your loved ones in the morning?

Why not fill your children up – and yourself for that matter- with positive and encouraging words.


You all know this one ~

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

What Is Your Favorite Way To Get Motivated In The Morning?

Monday Motivation Get Out Of Here With Your Excuses

Have you heard these excuses before? EXCUSES


I recently read a book by John C Mawell. He said "If excuses roll willingly from a person's tongue, it's certain that money doesn't flow easily out of his pocket. You can estimate a person's bank balance from the excuses he makes. The habit of excuses is the worst of all habits."

Obviously that statement applies to health and fitness as well.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND LET'S DO THIS

Are you at a CROSSROADS right now with your health & fitness? Do you need to lose weight and body fat? Do you need to improve your sugar levels and high cholesterol? Are you borderline diabetic? Are you over 50lbs overweight? Do you feel tired all day with no energy? Are you sick and tired of how you look and feel??

If so, here are 3 tips on how to take charge of your life RIGHT NOW!

TIP #1

ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR HEALTH & FITNESS

Yes, that is the first and most important step in the road towards a healthier and more fit YOU! No matter what your doctor, friend or family members say to you....YOU will have to accept the fact that YOU do have a problem. Guess what?? Once you accept this.....your chances of becoming healthier and more fit greatly improves.!!

TIP #2

LOOK FOR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO YOUR PROBLEM(S)

If you need to lose weight and become healthier....you will need to exercise and eat healthier meals. Join a gym or find an awesome fitness studio that will help you achieve your health and fitness goals....i know a great one and if you live in the Monterey area.....call me at 831-869-5348 and I will tell you who I am talking about!! Or just get up and start MOVING......walk a block away from your house and come back....go to the park and walk your dog....go around your neighborhood and walk....drink more water instead of beers or sodas....stop eating out so much....stop going to fast food restaurants....eat smaller meals every 3 hours....eat breakfast.....stop eating junk food....for the most part....MOVING MORE AND EATING LESS GOES A LONG WAY IN IMPROVING YOUR HEALTH & FITNESS

TIP #3

JUST DO IT.....NOTHING WILL WORK UNLESS YOU DO.....NOTHING WORTHWHILE IS EASY.....JUST GET STARTED....THERE IS NEVER A PERFECT TIME TO GET STARTED WITH EXERCISING OR EATING HEALTHIER......STOP MAKING EXCUSES....

These are the quotes and words that are thrown around in our fitness studio....BUT instead of just hearing these words....our clients actually APPLY THEM!!! That is the biggest difference when it comes to achieving your health and fitness goals OR staying un-healthy...un-fit....un-attractive.....un-happy!!! Instead of focusing on what YOU CAN'T DO....start focusing on what YOU CAN DO.....and do everything you can to DO THEM...!! Start with small changes and in time they become big changes.....lose 5 lbs before 50 lbs.....walk half a block before 10 blocks....etc....
