Fenugreek (Methi) Seed Water – Night Soak Method

Description

Fenugreek water is made by soaking methi seeds overnight and drinking the infused water, usually in the morning or at night. It’s traditionally used to support blood sugar balance, digestion, and appetite control, which may indirectly help with belly fat over time when paired with proper diet and activity.

⚠️ Important: Fenugreek does not burn belly fat in 7 days. Any visible change is usually due to reduced bloating, better digestion, or improved blood sugar control.

  • 1 cup (200–250 ml) water

  1. Rinse the fenugreek seeds.

  2. Add them to a glass or bowl with water.

  3. Cover and soak overnight (8–10 hours).

    • Drink the water

    • You may chew the soaked seeds (optional but beneficial)

 Q & A

Q: Can I drink fenugreek water at night for 7 days?
A: Yes, it’s generally safe—but noticeable benefits usually take weeks, not days.

Q: Should I chew the seeds?
A: Optional, but chewing increases fiber intake.

Q: Can I boil instead of soak?
A: Yes, but soaking preserves more nutrients and is gentler on digestion.

Q: Does it really reduce belly fat?
A: It may reduce bloating and appetite, which can support fat loss—but it doesn’t directly burn fat.

Q: Can I add lemon or honey?
A: Lemon is fine. Avoid honey if using it for blood sugar control.
