What does your typical daily diet look like?

>>12744894
Anything you make comes down to macronutrients, whether it's a soup, rice and beans, fish and vegetables, meat and potatoes etc it all boils down to chemicals. Fat, protein, carbs, fiber, calories, vitamins and minerals - equal amounts of soup and anything else are not different.

If you think salty and hot means satisfying and hearty, then you might prefer to eat your macronutrients as soup. But it depends on what you add. An overly fatty, creamy, potato-y, meaty chowder is not going to help you any more than the equivalent amount of fat, meat, and potatoes in another delivery.

Pretty much this. Eating a soup as one meal, maybe a vegetable soup, would be a great way to intake vitamins/minerals/fibre/carbs, but you’d still need protein at some point and a diet without protein leaves you feeling pretty hungry after a few hours.
The best way to go is just try to moderate your food intake to a lower number of calories/day, or continue your food intake but substitute unhealthy shit with healthier shit and then exercise more.

Quantities are important. Gorging yourself with soup, especially chowder since it's made with cream, will probably not help much. Eat more vegetables, exercise. This will work if you keep it up.

It would probably end up being unsatisfying unless your chowder is basically like a chunky stew. Not having much to chew is going to fuck with your satiety.

You can still eat cheese, eggs, and meat, and you probably should because they have high quality protein. Cut out processed foods and try to eat more whole grains/vegetables. The biggest thing is just cutting down on portion sizes though, which is what will mainly make you lose weight.

Just do cocaine for a while, or a cycle of steroids, and calisthenics.

You're probably not smart enough to be thin while getting the nutrients you need.

There's a way to eat that will at least bring you to a lighter equilibrium while eating ad libititum.

Soup is a good weight loss food, but I wouldn’t go with creamy tomato and chowders. Make soups full of seasonal veggies and chicken. You’ll get full without too many calories. Have a basic salad on the side with low cal dressing for extra filling fiber without adding many calories. Eat some fresh fruit for dessert, like an apple with cinnamon. Drink at least 2 glasses of water with the meal. You’ll be full and nourished for under 600 calories.

>would a soup diet help?
no, you're going to want to add something to that soup that makes your meals more enjoyable

even >>>/fit/ gets board with a week or two's worth of meal-prep, eating chicken breast, broccoli, and rice. you need a little but of variety every now and again, and that comes from knowing what food is out there, what food you can afford and cook, and what is available around you.
if you're really trying to lose weight and you're looking at diet as the solution (VERY smart move btw) then just buy a goddamn food scale at Target or wherever. buy whatever you can, divide it buy weight, measure what you cook and what you got, look it up and buy a pedometer to account for the calories you burn from everyday walking/activities.

learn to fast and you'll be well on your way to losing fat and starting to build muscle.

No.
Just eat less each time and don't eat until you absolutely need too.
Understand that you may not feel full right after a meal but if you wait a bit you feel fine.

calories in, calories out
if you have a bmr that spends 2100 calories per day and you eat 2000 calories you will lose weight eventually
doesn't matter if it's 2000 calories of butter or 2000 calories of celery
the macronutrients can help you determine what your body composition will be (lean or buff or skinnyfat), along with exercise, but the most important thing for weight loss is calorie tracking. be accurate with your calories, read the /fit/ sticky, liamrosen dot whatever in the sticky is incredibly useful
good luck
