You possibly will not think you can lose weight while on a diet which includes finnish summer vegetable soup but it is possible. It is crucial to not eat finnish summer vegetable soup or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.
For example, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I want – without going overboard of course.
I have been sticking to this diet for the last month and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have only been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.
I also believe it helps to have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.

I am interested to find out what exercise regimen you do with the diet your on. I am trying to lose weight myself and did something similar, except I allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted on the weekend. I don’t think I was disciplined enough to stick with it, but I am really interested in finding out what you did?
1) Your daily or weekly excerise
Also how much calories is this finnish summer vegetable soup?
