When the air turns cooler, it can be easy to slip out of healthy routines and lean into comfort foods. But this season, you can enjoy soup and still support weight loss. The popular Fat Flush Soup Challenge, which has helped women for years, is free to anyone who downloads the guide. It features three simple, satisfying soup recipes meant to help curb cravings, support digestion and encourage natural weight release while keeping you warm and satisfied through the season. Here’s how to try it.

Meet the nutritionist behind the Fat Flush Soup Challenge

The Fat Flush Soup Challenge was developed by Columbia University-trained nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, CNS, a health innovator and author of more than 36 books. She gained wide attention for her New York Times bestseller The Fat Flush Plan. After reading research from Penn State professor Barbara Rolls, PhD, showing that soup can accelerate weight loss, Gittleman created soup recipes with ingredients designed to support that effect even more. “The soup essentially flips a switch in your body,” Gittleman says, “telling it to let go of extra pounds that are weighing you down!”

She adds that seasonal challenges like this are offered throughout the year, with dedicated soup challenges typically held in the fall and winter.

Why soup season is the perfect time for a reset

Soup season offers a natural chance to regroup. It fits into fall routines before holiday disruptions begin and gives people an easy way to refocus on health goals. For years, Woman’s World readers have embraced Fat Flush Soup as a simple way to enjoy nourishing, satisfying meals, and Gittleman is inviting people to take part in the free fall Soup Challenge.

“The Challenge is built around one simple idea: when you combine lean protein, fiber-rich vegetables and flavorful herbs and spices like turmeric, ginger, garlic and cumin, healthy eating becomes both delicious and easier to stick with,” she explains. “These ingredients work together to promote fullness, support balanced blood sugar and encourage healthy digestion—all while bringing incredible flavor to every bowl.” They also decrease belly bloat and target fat burn.

How does the Fat Flush Soup Challenge work?

The Fall Fat Flush Soup Challenge is a simple seven-day program created to provide structure, motivation and community around the Fat Flush approach. It centers on soups that combine lean protein, fiber-rich vegetables and anti-inflammatory spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic and cumin. “The Challenge gives people an opportunity to actually do it together.”

Participants receive a free guide with three Fat Flush soup recipes and the seven-day plan. “We encourage them to follow along with us during the Challenge,” Gittleman says. “We’ll be sharing daily tips, encouragement, reminders and conversation prompts in our Fat Flush Nation Facebook community, where participants can ask me questions, share their experiences and encourage one another.” She also notes that the guide remains free year-round, so anyone can download it and use the recipes and plan whenever they like.

Here’s what you eat on the Soup Challenge

Each morning begins with a protein-rich breakfast such as eggs. Lunch and dinner are each built around a bowl of one of Gittleman’s three Fat Flush Soups. In between meals, participants snack on water-rich fruits and vegetables. Altogether, the plan includes breakfast, two bowls of soup and snacks each day for seven days.
