High Protein & Fibre Soup Recipes for Visceral Fat Loss
If you’re seeing weight around the middle creep up, and finding it harder to lose than ever, visceral fat is keeping you stuck.
The bad news?
This kind of fat accumulates more easily in our 40’s, 50’s and onwards and doesn’t respond nearly as well to a straight-up calorie deficit as the usual kind.
The good news?
Balanced meals that lower your insulin spikes and pack in the plants will help move that stubborn weight around your middle.
High Protein & Fibre Recipes For Visceral Fat Loss
Each recipe has modifications to help you hit 25+g protein and 5+ g fibre, while keeping carbs from spiking blood sugar and insulin (under 45 g for most of us).
This is the sweet spot for getting what you need to stay full and make fat loss easier for your metabolism.
Easy Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken and Wild rice soup – Real Food Dietitians
- Modifications: Have 2 cups (instead of 1.5), double the mushrooms to 2C, stir in 2 C shredded kale or spinach right at the end to get enough nutrient rich non-starchy veggies. Swap in lactose free whole milk to make this gut friendly if you find regular dairy makes you bloated, gassy or uncomfortable.
Easy ham and bean soup- Real Food Dietitians
- Modifications: Get your 2 cups of veggies per serving (makes 8) by doubling up the spinach or kale to 4 cups. Keep carbs below 30 g per serving by using 2 cans of beans instead of 3.
Chicken Fajita Soup – Real Simple Good
- Modifications: Top with 1/4 small avocado for the extra fibre boost (and filling healthy fats). Top with plenty of cilantro (unless you’re a hater, then skip it or swap in italian parsley) and green onions for an anti-inflammatory boost. Fresh and dried herbs are full of the nutrients needed for a healthier metabolism.
Creamy Cauliflower Soup- Real Food Dietitians
- Modifications: Keep the calories in check so you can make room for a protein by reducing cheese to 1/2 C  or swap the bacon for leaner crisped up prosciutto slices. Top each bowl with a lean protein such as with 2 shredded chicken thighs (or 1/2 C rotisserie chicken), 1/3-1/2 block of firm tofu cubes crisped in the pan and stirred in, or 2 lean sausages (turkey, chicken, bison) crumbled in.
Ultra Quick 15 Minute Miso Soup + Greens – Minimalist Baker (Vegan, Gluten Free)
- Modifications: Use 2/3 block of firm tofu (about 200g) and toss in 1/2 cup of frozen, shelled edamame beans . I like to season my bowl with sriracha and a dash of sesame oil for extra oomph!
