According to a recent study, having a cup of vegetable or low calorie soup before a meal can be a great way to eat less and lower your overall caloric intake. However on Dukan, especially during the Attack phase, plain broth can get boring quickly. Miso soup is a great alternative and although some Dukan purists may shy away from it due to the soy content, in my opinion it is so low (only about 10 calories worth) that it won’t make an impact on weight loss of the success of the diet. Consider adding some shrimp, shredded chicken, or sliced vegetables as well to make it more filling.
