I love cabbage but your suggestion is too vague. Can you give some specific recipes or suggestions on how much or how often? I am a huge fan of Indian food and spices so I am amenable to some authentic recipes that I can use. Thanks.

I learned to cook with an Indian lady!

• 2 onions dices
• 1tbsp ground ginger
• 1 tbsp ground garlic

(they call it garlic ginger masala usually blended together with lots of salt and frozen)

1 heaped tsp of each of these: generous heap ( I think I do More)

• coriander powder
• turmeric
• cumin powder
• Himalayan salt
• 1/4 tsp chili powder optional

( if wanted can add about 8 cloves, cinnamon stick and a star anise, I don’t)

• optional curry leaves
• Huge amount of cabbage thinly sliced.
• fresh chopped coriander stalks and leaves.

Prep all Veggies first...as you have to stand over it.

Method:

Melt coconut oil (extra virgin) or any other healthy oil in a large frypan or wok. Add onions to medium-high heat and a bit of salt and sauté for well over 5 minutes (may need to add more oil) till golden but not dark brown, (they kind of make a popping noise toward the end and look fat as my observation but not essential)

STIR continuously.

Add spices and continue a further min, add garlic ginger masala and salt a furth 30 secs as it spits.

More oil if needed.

Add cabbage and toss continuously add salt, yes they use allot of salt and she would use sugar but I don’t.

taste and if you need to add more spice or garlic I make a hole in the centre add a bit of oil and spice to cook for a min, then stir it through.

cook till you like it, I like mine soft so I usually add chunkier vein bits first.

Use the same method for green beans and peas

or peas and spinach

I think beans and peas or spinach is yummiest

I eat cabbage every day. Cooked, I'm still over weight

Believe the idea is to eat *exclusively* the cabbage recipe. At least until the weight is off. This WOULD likely cause weight loss in most? people as it is very low calorie. 1 large head of cabbage is roughly 300 calories.
