My mom makes this great lentil soup...I was wondering if green lentils are healthy? I want to eat that soup for a whole week I can never get sick of it it's verrry delicious it's actually called "lebanese lentil soup"...if anyone has tried it I would like to know if you can actually lose weight off it if you were to eat it for a whole week. Please, I need your help!

I know it's not healthy to just be eating soup so please don't let me know! I just want to find out if I will see results because I'll be eating the soup everytime I get hungry.

Being a former chef I love lentils both the green, brown and my favorite the small red ones.
The high in fiber, iron and minerals, and like chickpeas they do not raise glucide levels in the blood.
I eat alot of Indian food and am a big fan of the lentil soup you speak of, any way is fine for me with lentils. It is something that not only aid in weight loss but not make you filled up, I tried the cabbage soup diet one time, with a balanced diet and the soup as a meal it will aid you with your effforts.

Yes, lentils are healthy. Low fat, high in fiber and protein.
Overeating any one thing is NOT healthy. Just incorporate the soup as part of your varied diet.
