Product Rave

This is a GREAT ONE!

Or rather, "Smart One". Weight Watchers has a brand of products called Smart Ones. Frozen meals etc. Well, I had heard of these soups being in the US, but now they are in Canada! (In fact, the US has a few soups, like Progresso Light, that are Zero Points...but not available in Canada)

These are canned ZERO POINT soups! There are a few flavours: Vegetable Ministrone, Southwestern Vegetable and Thai Coconut Curry. (That last one sounds odd to me...but maybe it's good?)

Calories: 60
Fat: 0.2g
Fibre: 4g
Points: 0


So, my lunch today consisted of Minestrone soup (as much as I wanted), and a chicken wrap (see previous post about Blue Menu Wraps). Total Points? 2.5!!

While it seems healthy the sodium in it is crazy - 820 mg. It is recommended not to have anything over 420 mg per serving!!

Anonymous....you may have not noticed that I prefer people to sign a name to their comments.

I didn't say it was '100% perfect'...or even healthy. I said it was 0 points.

Comments like this frustrate me, after all the work I'm doing to get my fat/caloric intake under control. This is a HUGE step forward for me, since the kind of soups I used to buy were HORRIBLE in all ways. These are the steps I am taking now...and in the future will work on other issues such as salt, sugar, wheat and chemicals.

You probably don't have a life-long weight battle...so you wouldn't understand how a comment like this just belittles all the work I'm doing to TRY to make better choices.

Thanks for your comment...I'm sorry I'm not choosing products up to your standards...but I guess that is what YOUR blog can be used for! (Your journey, your blog...my journey, my blog)
