Think being on a diet means you can't eat your favorite foods? Try the weight-loss plan that's about satisfaction — the
Campbell's Soup for Life Plan. Campbell's Center for Nutrition & Wellness and the culinary experts at the Campbell's Kitchen have created a weight loss plan that isn't about sacrifices, it's about satisfaction.
Consistent with the National Institutes of Health guidelines for safe weight loss, the Campbell's Soup for Life Plan is convenient, flexible, and comes from a name you know and trust. Campbell's Soup for Life Plan is simple, easy to follow and includes eating soup every day for satisfaction and a feeling of fullness. It is based on research conducted at leading universities that shows eating soup is an effective way for reducing calorie intake in a meal. Individual results will vary.
People who had soup as their first course in a meal consumed an average of 100 fewer calories in that meal compared with those who did not eat soup.1
97% of people who included soup as part of a low-calorie diet thought soup was a valuable part of their weight loss plan.2
Eating soup (e.g. Chicken and Rice soup) reduced calorie intake of subsequent meals more effectively than eating the ingredients (chicken, rice) separately followed by a glass of water.3
A recent study conducted at the Pennsylvania State University found that people who consumed Campbell's® condensed, "Ready to Serve", and Healthy Request® soups one or two times per day as part of a reduced calorie balanced weight loss diet were successful in losing weight and maintained, on average, a total loss of 14 pounds, after one year.4
The Campbell's Soup for Life Plan is designed to meet nutritional recommendations for a healthy diet:
Less than 30% of total calories from fat
Less than 10% of total calories from saturated fat
Daily cholesterol of 300 milligrams or less
Daily sodium of 2,400 milligrams on average*
Five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day
Includes whole grain choices
*For 1,200 and 1,600 calorie levels
Maintaining a healthy weight has important health benefits. Recommendations to reduce the risk for hypertension and cardiovascular disease advise weight loss, if needed, increased physical activity, limiting saturated fat and alcohol, and limiting daily sodium intake to 2,400 milligrams or less per day. All menus on the Campbell's Soup for Life Plan have been designed to meet these recommendations.* Check product label values for sodium.
Remember, making a commitment to lose weight, exercise more and adopt a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products, is an important thing you can do to make a difference in your life.
*For 1,200 and 1,600 calorie levels
