However, if chewing on curry leaves first thing in the morning isn’t for you, then here are two different ways you can use curry leaves for weight loss: 

1. Curry leaves juice:

• Take 20-30 curry leaves and a glass of water.
• Put this on a blender and blend it for 30-40 seconds or till the leaves are properly chopped up and mixed.
• Now strain this (if you want to) or have it as it is. You can also add mint leaves to give a refreshing flavour to it.

How it helps: Green juices are often preferred by health enthusiasts because they are loaded with antioxidants that boost immunity and aid in digestion thus speeding up metabolism. When you drink this right in the morning, your body gets chlorophyll which makes you feel active and energised. Consume this daily to see a difference in your belly fat.

The weight loss, in this case, is sustainable so you’ll have to keep patience to see the results. You can even add spinach or celery along to make it even more healthy and filling.
