  • Braised cabbage with meat, from a fitness trainer: Every woman dreams of eating without gaining weight — and I've managed it! We all love to eat, and I'm no exception, but my job means staying in shape, since I'm a fitness trainer. Paging through my mom's cookbook, I decided to try braising cabbage with meat. I didn't have the pork the recipe called for, but I did have a healthy turkey breast. Ladies, this is a knockout! The vegetables give the turkey the juiciness it needs, and in return the turkey fills the cabbage and pepper with a rich, meaty flavor. Definitely give it a try! This dish is next to nothing in calories, yet gives you as much energy as a good steak.
