How to drink okra water for weight loss?

I saw a reel about drinking okra water for weight loss and skin benefits. It sounds a bit strange to me. How do people prepare and drink okra water for this purpose?

Haan na, okra water is basically bhindi water and it gets so sticky and slimy to drink, ho na! I tried soaking sliced bhindi overnight and drinking the water in the morning, but the texture was very difficult to swallow. I don't think it's worth the effort for weight loss.

At this age, my family suggests every possible vegetable water to cure my weight and joints. Drinking bhindi water in the morning is the latest test of my patience! I did it for a week, felt nothing but a weird sticky tongue, and went back to my simple morning walk.

Completely agree, the slimy texture is very hard to tolerate. Eating cooked bhindi normally in your meals is much better and easier.

With my busy office routine, soaking okra overnight and washing sticky glasses is too much work. If you want weight loss, just cut down your carbohydrate intake and drink plain warm water. Don't waste time on these high-maintenance remedies.

My family doctor explained that okra water is excellent for mild digestive health due to its mucilage content, but it has no direct thermogenic effect on fat tissues. If you wish to consume it, wash 3-4 okras thoroughly, slit them, soak overnight in water, squeeze them out, and drink the water. However, focus on your overall daily calorie count for actual weight loss.

While okra is rich in soluble fiber and can help with glucose absorption, there is no solid scientific evidence that okra water melts fat. Before starting any raw vegetable infusions daily, it is wise to consult your general physician, as raw vegetables can sometimes carry foodborne pathogens.
