I've been looking to lose some weight and get in better shape lately, but don't really have ready access to a gym because of life circumstances. Figured I'd throw this out there and ask for some advice about working out at home to lose weight with no equipment. I mean there's the obvious push ups, situps, etc. But I'm more looking for advice on how many sets/repetitions, how many days a week, etc. Obviously I plan on dieting a bit as well, but any advice or some kind of link/graphic showing a few basic workout plans would be appreciated.
I figure this post can help some others in the same situation as well given a lot of us want to get in better shape to prepare, but don't have access to the best facilities, and whatnot.
Can you please post a recipe for spiced cabbage soup? I LOVE soups. I have my crock pot going almost 24/7.
Okay.
Crock Pot, you got.
So, you get a cabbage, cut it up how you please. I just cut it one way at half an inch per division, then turn it and cut it again. I don't core mine completely because I like the chunky bit in the middle.
Toss that into the crockpot. There's your base.
Then, just chuck in the following:
Spices, added to taste:
Then fill up to the cabbage line with water, slap on the lid, and let her go for about 3 hours or until the cabbage is tender.
Stinks up the house, but once you associate it with the taste it's totally worth it.
What I described can fill about around a 2-gallon tupperware container of soup. It'll last you a week if you're fasting. The juice/broth alone is fantastic, and is a good hunger-stopper if you're fasting. Just a small cup and you're good.
Edit: Oh, and red-pepper flakes if you want it to pack a punch.
Thanks for sharing u/sleepydude
Love me some good soup! Outside of perhaps a freshly dug potato, nothing warms the Eastern Euro soul like a good cabbage centered soup!
Oh, and kudos on your looking glass post yesterday! I worked a double and was too tired to comment on it but I saved it to share/bring up pertinent info points with some IRL frens when the discussion arises.
Sounds amazing! I'm going to try making it tomorrow. Thank you!
Ever have solyanka or borscht? Very good cabbage centered soups!
Solyanka recipe. Feel free to substitute meats. E.g don't like ham? Use chicken!
Borscht recipe. Again, you can play around with ingredients somewhat if desired. Both of these soups are considered like "gumbo" or chili in the Baltics. Sort of a "throw whatever ya got into the soup, just dont skimp on the tomato dille, and beets" lol.
That Borscht recipe looks delicious
