I agree, eating Okra (or anything else that works in a similar way) every night will certainly help you lose
weight. With all the diarrhoea, you could easily lose 10-15 lbs in a week or less.
Of course, losing
weight itself is pointless, since 100% of the weight you'd be losing is
water weight. As soon as you stop taking the okra, or any other laxative or diuretic, you'll gain the water back right away.
And your gut won't like being irritated and forced to excrete mucous every day either. After a while, you will probably run into complications.
So please put away the cheezy magazine articles (especially the ones that promote low-fat food to lose weight). At best, they misinform and cause confusion. At worst, they could potentially make people do things that make them sick.
I do think Okra is a great food, I eat it all the time. What I do is simply clean them, and panfry them in butter, seasoned with freshly cracked sea salt and black pepper. Don't try chopping them up, or they will turn into mush. They are very filling, and they are very good for you. But be cautioned of the laxative effect - eating them every night will make you shit bricks, and will make you lose '
weight'. But losing water weight is the last thing you want to do if you are actually trying to lose fat weight.
