Does cabbage help weight loss?

Question

I'm trying to incorporate more healthy vegetables into my diet to aid in weight loss. My neighbour swears by cabbage, saying it's a superfood for shedding kilos. Does cabbage actually help with weight loss, or is it just a healthy vegetable like any other?

Haan, bilkul help karta hai! Cabbage is extremely low in calories and has so much fiber, na. If you eat a bowl of cabbage soup or sabzi before your main meal, you will eat much less rotis. It really keeps you full for longer.

Cabbage is great, but I read that eating too much raw cabbage can sometimes affect thyroid function if you have a tendency for goiter. I get very anxious about these things, so I always steam or cook it well before eating. Just be safe!

It definitely helps because of the high water and fiber content. I usually chop some cabbage and carry it as a quick salad to my office. But don't go on those extreme cabbage soup diets, they are not sustainable for long-term weight loss.

I literally lived on cabbage salads last semester when I was trying to shed some weight! It is super crunchy and satisfying. Just make sure you wash it thoroughly in warm water with a little salt to clean any dirt or worms before chopping.

Cabbage is very good for health and very cheap too in the winters. I make simple patta gobhi sabzi with very little oil and mustard seeds. It helped my daughter lose weight because it fills the stomach without adding fat.
