Although not particularly popular with young people the cabbage is an important tool in the fight against the bulge. It is one of those food stuffs that is very filling and therefore reduces the need for overeating. It also has relatively modest amounts of calories which mean that there is little harm that can be got from eating it in abundance. It has a rather unfortunate side effect that might cause offence to those around the person because it is known to lead to flatulence. However on balance one can say that the cabbage is a great addition to any diet.
The cabbage is all about the way that it is cooked. If one has had the misfortune to eat school dinners they will know what a bad cabbage meal tastes like. In those early years the cooks with the outdated methods of working would cook the cabbage to death and then boil it some more for good measure. By the time it reached the table, there would virtually be no nutrients within the cabbage and it would taste like something that has just been picked up from hell. That is the fate of those who attempted to cook the humble cabbage in this way. The children would be left with a permanently bad image of cabbage and would not be able to use it to control their weight. However the cabbage can help to obtain a balanced diet while at the same time helping those who are trying to lose weight.
There are many variations of cooking that help the cabbage to change the lifestyles of people. For example there is the notorious cabbage soup diet which has been known to cause untold social and personal problems. However the cabbage soup can be improved with the use of clever spicing and other food stuffs. The cabbage can be sliced up and used as a salad or an accompaniment. In fact some people start off the meal with cabbage so that they do not eat too much.
This is not the extent of the cabbage revolution because it is a relatively cheap foodstuff that will not affect the family budget too badly. That means that even ordinary families can afford to use the cabbage as a means of controlling the weight levels within the family. It is a dieting aid that cannot and should nto be ignored for those who are concerned about their long term health.
