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.
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!
