If you are looking for light and tasty dishes for proper nutrition, then we can safely say that you have found what you were looking for. Cabbage is truly the perfect ingredient for any diet. With it you can prepare a lot of dishes, side dishes, soups and, most importantly, salads that will help you lose weight. Having low nutritional value, but at the same time being rich in valuable nutrients and minerals, this vegetable will help you prepare not only dishes for everyday meals, but even for holiday feasts.
Before we get started with our simple recipes, let's understand the main rules of cooking, because even the most dietary ingredients are not the key to a low-calorie dish!
- It is important to correctly combine this component with other products. Adding cabbage to any salad does not make it a priori dietary. Keep an eye on other ingredients too.
- Do not overuse vegetable oil. Any cabbage salad can be spoiled if you generously season it with a large portion of oil. Make it a rule to add as little of this product as possible and remember that even one tablespoon of oil contains about 120 calories.
- If you add meat, we give preference to low-fat varieties. Low-fat chicken or turkey goes perfectly with this vegetable. Such pp options will be excellent holiday dishes.
- Of course, you will have to completely forget about regular mayonnaise. Its nutritional value is too high and it will definitely spoil any dish. We replace it with low-fat natural yogurt or low-fat sour cream. To add more flavor to this dressing, you can add a little mustard.
- If you want to add more proteins to your diet, then don’t forget about seafood. Shrimp and squid go well with Chinese cabbage and you will have an interesting and unusual version of the dish on your table.
- When adding an egg to your salad, remember that you can always reduce its calorie content by using only one egg white. It contains several times less calories and fat than the yolk.
- For those who like dishes with the addition of canned fish, you should also understand that you need to take canned food exclusively in its own juice, and not in vegetable oil. The calorie content of such products is strikingly different.
- Are you used to eating salads with a generous portion of fresh bread? You'll have to reconsider these habits too. What can we afford? A slice of whole grain bread or cereal crispbread.

PP salad with Chinese cabbage
So, here is one of the basic recipes, which you can later change to your taste.
- 200 grams of Chinese cabbage
- 2 boiled eggs. We remember about the yolk rule and if you have already exceeded your calorie allowance, then we can abandon the yolks and use one white.
- 1 fresh cucumber
- natural yogurt for dressing. In this option, you can also add the yolk to the yogurt, then you get something like mayonnaise. The main thing is to add spices to the dressing according to your taste.

Cabbage and carrots are cut very finely. Almost to the size of one grain of rice, and the dressing is even more surprising. In addition to regular mayonnaise, sugar, butter, milk and other ingredients are also added there. Then mix everything very thoroughly!

Brush: cabbage, beet and carrot salad for weight loss
What about the legendary dish, which is popularly called brush salad?
Specially selected ingredients perfectly cleanse the gastrointestinal tract and remove excess toxins from the body. This dish option is also great to use during detox or fasting days. True, there are some nuances here too. This version of the dish is not suitable for those who have stomach problems. The high fiber content in this dish is not suitable for those who have ulcers or gastritis. If you are completely healthy, then you can safely arrange fasting days for yourself on such salads.
Most importantly, do not forget to drink enough water on this day.
- 100 grams of cabbage. Let's chop.
- 100 grams of beets. Cut into strips or grate. Be careful, because the beets must be raw!
- 100 grams of carrots. We also grate or cut into strips.
For dressing, use 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, salt and pepper.
Interesting! Have you noticed how much fiber you usually consume per day? Nutritionists are sure that it must be included in the diet and that it will help you lose weight faster. On average, you need to consume about 30 grams of fiber per day. However, what seems so simple and easy can actually become very difficult. Monitor how much fiber you consume, and if you are below 30 grams, then try to start including it in your morning diet. This could be whole grain oatmeal, natural yogurt with cereals, a portion of fruit in the morning. But during lunch or dinner, you can always supplement your diet with dietary cabbage salad.

Reviews of those losing weight
Olga, St. Petersburg
I unknowingly went on a cabbage diet that I invented myself. This only made me feel worse. The fact is that I consumed the product in large quantities and had it with every meal. From the abundance of fiber, I began to experience terrible flatulence, I was bothered by pain and colic, due to the oversaturation of the body with fiber.
The tests also revealed that I have an excess of mineral salts in my body, which cabbage is rich in. This can cause harm to the body. Everything stopped after the course of treatment, and I managed to recover quickly. The doctor told me that under no circumstances should you eat a cabbage diet for more than 3 weeks, this can lead to disastrous consequences. So be careful and practice only proven nutrition systems.
Margarita, Ekaterinburg
I love raw cabbage, I make salads with it, they are ideal for the diet. I recommend seasoning dishes with olive oil or sprinkling them with lemon juice. I also liked using apple cider vinegar and soy sauce instead of salt and mayonnaise. My favorite spices, such as coriander, cinnamon, cumin, and chili pepper, help me improve the taste of dietary salads.
I advise everyone to combine uncooked cabbage with boiled beets, orange slices and raw carrots. You don't have to eat coleslaws all day. It is enough to replace dinner or lunch with this light dish and you will have a chance to transform your figure.
Elena, Moscow
I am a nutritionist by training, so I know a thing or two about nutrition. I believe that the cabbage diet should not be used frequently. You are dealing with a dangerous food system where there is little protein, fat and carbohydrates. If you overindulge in soup, it can cause dehydration and act as a laxative.
It is possible that if you approach the diet incorrectly, you will experience an upset stomach. After eating cabbage, you should stick to a low-calorie diet so as not to undo all your efforts and consolidate the weight loss effect. It is advisable to exercise, drink more water, and eat a variety of vegetables and fruits. I believe that the cabbage diet should not be practiced if you are obese. Also, the nutritional system is dangerous for sick kidneys and diabetes; it is not suitable for teenagers and the elderly.
If you skillfully use different varieties of cabbage and correctly combine products when preparing dishes, then the dietary menu will be varied and healthy.

How to cook cabbage for dinner
Few people want to just chew cabbage leaves for dinner. It's not tasty, and it's not convenient. And even the prospect of losing weight quickly does not always motivate such a meal. But you can prepare many dishes from cabbage that will diversify your menu and help you quickly lose weight.
Salad
The easiest and most famous way to cook fresh vegetables. A thinly sliced head of cabbage can be combined with carrots, apples, beets, cucumbers, peas and other vegetables. Cabbage goes well with almost any of them, so you can prepare a new salad every night and not repeat the same combinations of ingredients for a long time.
Simple coleslaw recipe
With buckwheat
Some people use this dish as a side dish, while others use it on its own. Boil the buckwheat, stew the cabbage and mix these two ingredients. You can add green beans, green peas, red peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables to the same dish.
Boiled
Cauliflower is often prepared this way. It is simply doused with boiling water, lightly boiled or baked. You can add various spices for taste.
Decoction
You can eat not only boiled cabbage for dinner, but also drink the broth in which it was boiled. Moreover, this decoction can be drunk as a snack an hour after dinner, and if you want to lose weight faster, then hudeem-bez-problem.ru advises drinking the decoction instead of dinner.

PP salad with tuna and Chinese cabbage
We have already mentioned the fact that such a salad is good to make with canned fish. The most suitable option is tuna in its own juice. This dish will not require additional dressing, so you don’t have to worry about the calorie content. Also, you can always add additional components. This dish would be an excellent lunch or even dinner.

Interesting. Fish and seafood are also an excellent source of protein. 100 grams of lean white fish contains about 24 grams of protein, the same as chicken fillet. This helps to greatly diversify your diet menu and prepare a lot of interesting and tasty dishes. Nutritionists insist on the mandatory inclusion of fish and seafood in your diet and remind you that you need to eat at least 240 grams of fish per week.
If you are on a diet, then preference should be given to low-fat varieties of fish - hake, cod, pike perch, carp. Also remember about shrimp and mussels, which will fit perfectly into any menu and salad with cabbage.
PP salad: beans, Chinese cabbage, suluguni
If you think that cabbage salad cannot be a nutritious and complete dish, then you are mistaken. We offer an option that is suitable for quality meals. At the same time, our dish will contain only proven ingredients and, moreover, even the balance of BJU will be taken into account.
What you need:
- 60 grams of beans. These beans are in some ways unique because they contain a lot of protein and fiber. This way you immediately get a high-protein dish and also the necessary fiber. Beans can be of any variety. You can pre-boil the beans, or you can use ready-made canned ones.
- 50 grams of suluguni cheese. The nutritional value of this product is less than that of ordinary hard cheeses, so you can safely add it to your meals. The protein content is also pleasing - 20 grams per 100 grams of product. Cut into cubes.
- 2 leaves of Chinese cabbage. Let's cut it.
- any greens to taste. Finely chop.
- 1 spoon of vegetable oil + 1 spoon of lemon juice for dressing
- spices to taste
We connect everything. This version of the salad can also be an excellent lunch at the office or dinner.
Important! Cheese is not only an excellent source of protein, but also calcium. Please note that you need to consume at least 800 mg of calcium per day. Nutritionists insist that the best way to add calcium to your diet is to include cheese, milk and natural yogurt in your diet. Just 1 glass of milk, 150 grams of yogurt and 30 grams of cheese per day will help you gain the required amount of calcium.

The content of this vitamin in white cabbage is almost 2 times greater than in potatoes. Moreover, this plant is capable of retaining this element for a long time.

Recipes for popular pickled foods
As mentioned above, you should not abuse these dishes because of the salt and sugar in the brine. But if you really want to diversify the menu, then it is better to prepare marinades yourself. Store-bought cans contain a lot of preservatives and flavor enhancers that are not beneficial.
You can pickle different vegetables at home.
Ginger
For the marinade you will need a spoon of apple cider vinegar, a couple of spoons of dry red wine, and hot water.
The root needs to be cut and boiled in salted water for a couple of minutes. After draining the water, add marinade. Infuse for several days in a glass container in the refrigerator.
cucumbers
For marinade in 1.5 liters of water you need a couple of tablespoons of sugar and salt, a teaspoon of vinegar, pepper, and spices.
Wash the cucumbers, cut off the “butts” and soak for a couple of hours in cold water. At the bottom of the jar you need to put spices, leaves of fruit trees, dill. Then put vegetables in it and pour boiling water over everything. Leave for a couple of minutes and pour into a saucepan, to which you need to add salt and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and pour in the vinegar. And again fill the cucumbers in the tanks with brine.
Watch the video about preparing pickled cucumbers:
Tomatoes
For brine, take the same as for cucumbers: spices (pepper, cloves, coriander, bay leaf, currant and cherry leaves), a couple of tablespoons of salt and sugar, vinegar, a few cloves of garlic.
Spices, bay leaves, currants, dill, cloves, coriander, pepper pods and others are placed in jars. Then they put in the tomatoes. Pour boiling water over everything for a couple of minutes. Then it is returned to the pan and brought to a boil. The marinade is filled with jars of tomatoes.
Cabbage
The vegetable needs to be washed and chopped finely. Grate carrots and onions. For the brine you will need a couple of tablespoons of vinegar, salt and sugar, boiling water and allspice, regular pepper and bay leaf.
Place all the vegetables in a jar and add spices. At this time, prepare a marinade from water, vinegar, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil, add vegetable oil. Then everything is filled with brine and the jar is turned upside down for a couple of days. If you prefer it spicy and sour, you can keep it for another day.
Store the finished cabbage in a glass container in the refrigerator.

PP salad with Chinese cabbage
In case you need to surprise your loved ones or just treat yourself, we offer an unusual recipe with Chinese cabbage and avocado. This salad is very nutritious and tasty, and also contains essential healthy vegetable fats.
While eating properly, it is equally important to monitor the fats you consume. A lack of these nutrients will only slow down your weight loss, and not speed it up, as many people mistakenly believe.
You need to eat at least 40 grams of fat per day! Be sure to keep an eye on this.
- 2 sheets of Chinese cabbage
- 1 cucumber
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tbsp. l. natural yogurt
- spices to taste
We combine all the ingredients and get an excellent diet cabbage salad!
Important! Dietary fats perform many important functions in the body. Like carbohydrates, fats provide us with energy, but they also contain many more calories. It's also important to pay attention to healthy fats. They are found in eggs, avocados, fish, and nuts. These are the foods you should include more often in your diet.

But keep in mind that this should not be an early dinner, otherwise 3 hours after it you will feel hungry again and you will have to look for a snack.
In the evening
Almost all varieties of cabbage are recommended to be consumed in the evening if you want to lose weight. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to cook it for dinner every day. You can easily have dinner with protein foods, such as baked fish or chicken fillet, at 17–18 hours. And after an hour and a half, have a snack of cabbage. Then, by the time you go to bed, all these foods will have already been digested, but the feeling of hunger will not appear yet. And you will fall asleep calmly and easily, without harming your body with a high-calorie dinner.
For the night
All nutritionists say that you should avoid any overeating before bed. Is it possible to eat cabbage when losing weight in the evening? Yes, you can, but it’s not worth it at night. After all, instead of benefit, you may get the following unpleasant sensations:
- stomach cramps,
- heartburn,
- nausea,
- flatulence,
- belching.
All of them are associated with the fact that the body will try to digest a fiber-rich product instead of resting at night.

Which cabbage is the healthiest?
It is impossible to say for sure which variety is the most useful, especially for weight loss. Each type has its own beneficial properties. However, a vegetable can be not only beneficial, but also harmful . Cabbage should not be consumed if you have diseases of the thyroid gland, stomach or duodenal ulcers, high acidity, liver or kidney diseases. Next, we consider 3 types of this vegetable, which have a large number of different substances that can be included in the diet during a diet.
Colored
Depending on the variety, the inflorescences have different colors: white, red, blue, yellow. They contain a lot of proteins and other essential substances. This is a dietary dish that is quickly digested. Detailed composition: protein, vitamin C, B6, B1, A, PP, and also magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron. Thanks to tartronic acid, fat is not deposited in areas of the human body.
White cabbage
Regular white cabbage contains various vitamins and minerals. It can be included in your regular diet. The composition includes vitamins (A, B1, B2, B5, C, K, PP), minerals (magnesium, potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, iodine, fructose, phosphorus, folic, pantothenic acid), fiber, dietary fiber. You can lose weight with this product because the body takes a long time to digest it. You can eat unlimited amounts of this type of vegetable without fear of gaining weight.
Marine
Laminaria algae have nothing to do with cruciferous vegetables, but this name for this product has taken root in our country. Laminaria is considered very useful not only for weight loss. It contains a record iodine content, but the content of useful substances does not end there. The algae contains bromine, cobalt, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, nitrogen, manganese, zinc, as well as vitamins A, B1, B2, B13, C, E.
Diet salad with crab sticks and cabbage
Here's another festive version of this dish! For this dish we will need crab sticks. There has been debate for a long time about the usefulness of crab sticks. The product itself has little in common with crab meat, so its usefulness is questionable. The sticks are made from minced fish, so it would be more correct to call them fish sticks. Of course, if you have the opportunity to take crab meat, then you can do it without hesitation. If you only have chopsticks on hand, you can prepare a dish with them.
The main thing is moderation! Try not to overuse this product!
- 100 grams of sticks. Let's cut it.
- 100 grams of Chinese cabbage
- 1 egg. If you want to reduce calories, you can take two proteins.
- 1 small fresh cucumber
- 2 tablespoons canned corn
We fill everything with natural yoghurt.

Dietary sauerkraut salad
Is it possible to make a delicious and unusual sauerkraut salad? Yes! And it's very easy to do!
You will need very simple products:
- 160 grams of sauerkraut
- 50 grams of boiled red beans
- 1 pickled cucumber. Finely chop.
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
All that remains is to mix the ingredients and serve. There is no need to salt this dish!
Important! Please note that you should not overuse salty foods during the diet. Salt retains fluid very strongly and causes swelling. Doctors recommend eating no more than 6 grams of salt per day, although in reality the figure is many times higher. This is also due to the fact that we consume large amounts of prepared food, which already contains a lot of salt. Try not to overindulge in ready-made sauces and dressings, and go to fast foods less often.

Diet options
On cabbage and cabbage juice
Those who want to quickly lose a few kilograms are ready to do anything, even sit all day not just on cabbage, but on cabbage juice. We do not recommend conducting such experiments, because instead of a luxurious figure, you will get serious health problems. However, if you combine one of the above diets with cabbage juice, you can achieve even better results. The drink neutralizes toxins from food and increases the rate of breakdown of fat deposits. Take the juice half an hour before meals and lose weight.
How to cook fresh
Remove the top leaves from the head of cabbage and the stalk. Pass the remaining leaves through a meat grinder. This must be done as quickly as possible so that the juice does not react with the metal. Wrap the resulting mass in cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice. You can get juice in another way, you need to use a juicer.
Cabbage juice often causes bloating and increased gas formation; to prevent such troubles, we recommend mixing it with carrot or apple juice.
