Is cabbage good to eat for weight loss?

I'm trying to get in shape for a wedding next year and have been focusing on my diet. My mom always said cabbage is good for you, but is cabbage really good to eat specifically for weight loss?

Cabbage has so few calories that you probably burn more energy chewing it than you actually get from eating it! It is the ultimate weapon for weight loss. Just don't fry it with tons of cheese and oil, or the joke is on you.

Yes, it is very good for weight loss because the fiber keeps you full, preventing those late-night cravings. But please don't start any extreme all-cabbage diets, okay? Keep your meals balanced with dal and roti so your body doesn't get weak.

I used to feel so frustrated with my weight and hated eating tasteless diet food. Discovering how to make spicy, lightly cooked cabbage really changed things for me because it was filling and actually tasted good. It's okay to feel overwhelmed, just start with small changes.

Weight loss is very important for managing blood pressure, and cabbage is a great low-salt, high-potassium food for this. However, make sure you also get regular BP checkups and reduce your overall sodium intake alongside eating healthy veggies.

I agree, cabbage is excellent for losing weight. Try having it as a soup before dinner to reduce your portion size.

I lost 12 kgs over a year and cabbage was a major part of my lunch. My tip is to lightly saute it with mustard seeds and curry leaves instead of boiling it. It stays crunchy and keeps you satisfied much longer than boring boiled vegetables.

I am too tired to even think about complex meal prep, so I just shred a cabbage and eat it. It works for weight loss and requires zero effort, which is exactly what my sleepy brain needs right now. Highly recommend for lazy dieters!
