Ready in 15 minutes, this is fast food the natural way! Lentils are eaten around the world, at least twice a day in “any self-respecting Indian household,” says Kavita Mehta, founder of Web-based Indian Foods Co. Eaten everyday in Morocco, too, but especially during Ramadan, they not only taste great, but give us protein, cholesterol-lowering fiber and more nutrition for their size than almost any other food. Do they contain iron and B vitamins? Yes! These cute little pulses come in all colors and are easy on the pocketbook too. A handful feeds many. This soup helps whittle down your waist too.

Fascinating Factoids and Random Research
Fish Oil Helps You Lose Weight: Researchers earlier last year published the results of a trial in which 232 overweight people (average age 31) were put on a low-calorie diet. Roughly half the people also received a low dose of 260 mg omega-3s from fish oil supplements daily. The other half got a moderate dose of 1300 mg a day.
The trial went on for eight weeks. In the final two weeks of the trial, the researchers began measuring the subjects’ feelings of satiety immediately after meals, as well as two hours later. Conclusion: the people who were taking the higher dose of fish oil felt more full, more satisfied after even a portion-controlled weight loss meal.
