Delicious Peel A Pound Soup

Lowering your blood pressure is as easy as shedding a few pounds. But shedding a few pounds is not so easy. Enter “Peel A Pound Soup” This soup burns more calories to digest than what is actually in the soup. You can eat as many bowls as you need to and still not feel guilty.

Maybe you would like to add a small tossed green salad on the side. But do not overload it with high calorie salad dressing. That would negate the whole idea of losing weight.
