Broth: a good addition to a diet. / myLot

As many of you, friends, know I am determined to lose some weight. I don´t have a Coca Cola addiction, but I do need liquid in my body. Water ends up very insipid and I save red wine when I´m with friends. So I have discovered that a mug of chicken broth can be a good snack and it is absolutly healthy. Years ago, I had a Winter snack of chicken broth when I was watching TV at night. Holding the mug kept my hands warm and the broth did it for my tummy. Now I cooked a whole chicken breast to have for my cousin tonight, in case he doesn´t want to eat the awesome pork tenderloin with onion and halved pears I will roast as the entree. He is PICKY!

Anyway, I brought a mug of broth to my computer side and I can mylot while I forget about hunger. Did you know that a long time ago, chicken broth was one of the best cures for almost any ailment? It must boost our immune system.

I've seen on tv that many people bring chicken soup to ill people

To lose weight I think a good diet and exercise is the best idea. Swimming is the best thing I think.

I have been watching you talking about the various dishes that you churn out in your kitchen. Your cousin is lucky. Watch out when you have the chicken broth your keyboard might want some too (lol)

It fills your tummy with a few calories of healthy food and provides water.

I like chicken broth and my grandmother always suggested a cup of chicken broth as a remedy for every problem.

I usually only use chicken broth for cooking or when I'm sick. Sounds like a good alternative to having a nice cup of broth rather than coffee or tea to keep you warm

I also use chicken broth for cooking if I have any. But this idea of broth as snack has proved to be wonderful as I have less apetite.

I enjoy a broth, but am more inclined to turn it into soup. I don't have a problem drinking plain water.

I love chicken soup especially when I'm sick. I wish I could buy real chicken broth in the stores where I live (the kind made from boiling the bones of a chicken). That is supposed to be very restorative.

I make my own chicken broth. I usually buy whole chicken and use different parts for different purposes. You can make a wonderful broth with the carcass, some fresh oregano leaves (dried if you don´t have fresh), a whole carrot (that can be later used as a salad) water and salt.

I couldn't agree more on that. I cook and drink chicken soup on a regular basis, it's nutritious and tastes phenomenal.
