Trick To Eat Less
Most of us like to have soup at night times for dinner. When it is completely filled up with all the correct ingredients in a right quantity, everyone will like to eat. More than this, it should be served warm. One of the tricks that make us eat less is to include all the 6 tastes (sweet, sour, bitter, salty, pungent and astringent) in a food item. And the Coconut Split Pea Soup simply results in the same taste.
In Ayurvedic Medicine, they teach that all 6 tastes should be eaten at every meal for us to feel fully satisfied. This ensures that all major food groups and nutrients are represented in this meal.

Coconut Split Pea Soup will help you out from this problem of tempting yourself. Also, you will lose your weight as this will help you eat less.
