If you wish to shed some extra pounds and get slimmer, it is necessary to be on a health diet that includes all the best kinds of body-shaping, low calorie foods. Low calories foods need not always be tasteless. There are thousands of low calorie foods that are easy to prepare and are delicious as well. When it comes to a delicious health diet, the first things that come to mind are soups and salads.

For instance, try preparing the low calorie Macaroni soup. Following is an easy recipe for the same:
