If you’ve ever struggled with abdominal fat, you know that it’s one of the most challenging fitness problems to tackle. The market seems to offer dozens of remedies, but only a chosen few can deliver noticeable results.
One of the solutions I’ve come across and tried personally proves to be quite efficient without being expensive or complicated. According to some, this solution is miraculous, and the good news is that it consists of solely natural products.
I’m talking about the so-called “eggplant water” that contains these two key ingredients, as well as lemon. Here’s why eggplant water works and why it delivers such amazing benefits for belly fat reduction.
Why is Eggplant is good for weight loss?
Eggplant water is tremendously simple to make. All that you need to do is boil an eggplant in some water and consume the resulting liquid. Eggplants have diuretic properties and some studies suggest that their ingredients could also act as fat blockers.
Water retention is a common cause of bloating. Bloating makes your tummy look larger, which is why a quality natural diuretic can help you look fitter and slimmer.
① Eggplant contains large amounts of vitamin E and powerful antioxidants. These protect the heart, improve circulation and fight the damaging effects of free radicals.
② The eggplant contains just a few calories and it happens to be an excellent source of fiber. In addition, eggplants are rich in potassium that is essential for the health of the nervous system.
③ The consumption of eggplants keeps blood sugar levels steady, which is another fitness benefit of the vegetable.
④ The eggplant can also lower bad cholesterol levels, improve the functioning of the liver and strengthen the immune response.
⑤ Eggplant is a great diuretic .
⑥ Eggplant has a high fiber content prevents constipation.
⑦ Another point to consider is that stimulates bile and protects our liver.
You’ll Need:
- 1 large-sized eggplant (it is better organic farming, we know that is more natural and has less pesticides)
- 1 lemon medium size
- 1 large glass jar
Directions:
① Wash and dry the eggplant thoroughly. Cut the eggplant into small pieces.
② Place the eggplant pieces in the medium cooking pot. Fill the pot with water to just below the rim and heat on high until the water reaches boiling. Boil the eggplant for five minutes. Remove the pot from the heat source and let it stand until it has cooled.
③ Use a strainer to drain the water into a pitcher. Discard or save the eggplant pieces for later use.
④ Cover the pitcher of eggplant water, now you can add the lemon juice and store in the refrigerator.
How many cups should you drink?
Drinking one glass of eggplant water (8-10 oz cup) with lemon before each meal is the best option for getting rid of the stubborn belly fat. Start with a smaller amount and if you feel comfortable with the drink, you can increase the number of glasses you consume on a daily basis.
Remember:
To make the most of this drink, you’ll have to incorporate a few other healthy practices in your everyday existence. Exercise is essential for losing fat from any part of the body. It’s also important to keep in mind that eggplant water is a fully natural solution. As such, it will require some time to start delivering the desired results.

Can v have during pregnancy?
hi calleigh. can we use this when feeding the baby ..
hi Shilpa,
You can drink the eggplant water with lemon. However, if you’re breastfeeding, pay attention if you’ll find your baby uneasy due to lemon juice. If thats the case, you can just skip the lemon or you can adjust the amount.
Dear Calleigh… can u just tell me how long i have to continue this drink to see the result… Actually i have stubborn fat… and i desperately want to loose my weight…. Infact, i have already started that 7 days diet .. and today is my day 4 … but didn’t loose any weight..
Just stuck on the same weight… 🙁 Can you give me more effective tips that will work for me just in no time …
i already drink lemon water on empty stomach with ginger and black pepper and honey..
Please help me out … i feel lucky myself that i come to know you … so many good and interesting tips getting from you ..
Thanks….
@Salma,
If you really follow the 7-day diet to a T – I’m sure you will really lose some weight (at least). If not, try minimizing your carb intakes and do regular exercises. Not really sure how much you weight but doing these routines really help. I know there’s no magic pill for weight loss but with determination and patience, you can do it.
At least, you have started the lemon water with ginger – this really helps to detoxify your body as well… which is a good start. Just remember, not all natural remedies work for every one, some may work for me and some may NOT work for you. But don’t be discourage – it takes time…
