Campbell's Soup for Life Plan is a 1,200 calorie per day plan that allows you to eat great-tasting, familiar, and satisfying food. The Campbell's Soup for Life Plan includes a bowl of soup every day to help you feel full, even while you lower your calorie intake.
Individual results will vary. Please see your physician before starting any diet.
Step 1 Set Your Weight Loss Goal
The Body Mass Index (BMI) Chart can help you determine your healthy weight target. As always, consult your physician for advice on your personal weight-loss plan.
Using the BMI calculator, first determine your current BMI. Using the BMI tables, find your height in inches, and determine your healthy weight range between BMI 18.5 and 24.9. This becomes your goal weight.
Initial weight loss target should be no more than 10% of your current weight (i.e. if you weigh 175 pounds, then 10% is 17.5 pounds). If your weight loss goal is more than 10% of your current weight, change your first goal to be 10% of your current weight.

Campbell's Soup for Life Plan is based on research conducted at leading universities that shows eating soup is an effective way for reducing calorie intake in a meal.
- 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 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 step you can take to make a difference in your life.
