Weight-Loss Bacon fat

[bodymatters]

Hello Everyone,
I often make my soups with bacon fat and may only use one stock cube, is this ok to do when trying to lose weight. What fats are we allowed for our bodies? I want to make a large pan of vegetable soup because it is so good for my body and makes me go 3 to 4 hours without worrying about what i am eating. How do you make your soups? x

bacon fat is all saturated fat, and while tasty, probably isn't the best choice for starting soups...

olive oil is my fat of choice for cooking

Read the stickied thread in the nutrition forum, there's a section on Fat that explains what's good for your body

I make veggie soup all the time and don't add any fat what so ever.

On the rare occasion there is bacon fat in my house (when my kids eat it) it goes in the garbage where it belongs.

Thanks Malicient, i guess i hate waste and will go for the olive oil or low fat margarine.

If you must use oil, the best oil to go for is coconut oil. It has a high smoking point so dosen't turn into a trans fat.

Furthermore, research shows that coconut oil can actually help you lose weight.

thanks for that fantastic information, nutriangel, i guess i dont want to lose flavour if i did just boil my vegetables but what ever way i chucked it in the garbage can last week. x

If I don't use organic veggie stock I just use water. I blend some veggies in the Vitamix and flavor the water with seasonings (sea salt, pepper. cumin...) and it tastes great.

I don't use any oil in my soups. I cook garlic and onion in a little water and then add more water and whatever veges I can find. I let it simmer all day and then mash it all in the pot. Seems to have enough flavor just from that, or maybe I am used to eating this way.

Your welcome.

What did you chuck away? The soup? Why?
