Wish I hadn't measured!

I thought I would try the rice water Belly fat trick so have started this morning. I decided to take measurements to see if it is working and was shocked to find that my waist is only 2 inches less than my hips so I have turned into a barrel. Let's seriously hope this works.

Rice water belly fat trick???

I keep seeing this rice water trick on TikTok put 2 tablespoons of rice in a cup of warm water and squeeze half a lemon it is meant to melt belly fat.

Well it won't 😆 absolutely ridiculous

FFS really?!

You do know that’s not possible, right?

Sorry but you’d have better luck standing in front of a two bar electric fire.

Lol. I know a lot of East Asian women use rice water for clear skin and healthy hair but I've never heard of it melting belly fat. Don't get your hopes up I say!😂

Unfortunately the only thing that will melt belly fat is fewer calories and more exercise.

Get yourself a dog and ditch the rice water malarkey. I've lost a stone in six weeks since getting my rescue!

Stop believing tiktok videos. Better still, stop watching them.

You started that this morning and then measured to see if it's working?

Jesus, even injections don't work that quickly.

Not that this would work at all anyway.

@MrsSkylerWhite 🤣

doodleschnoodle · 11/11/2024 12:17

What do you do with it? Rub it on yourself? Drink it? Inject it?

Is it some sort of the 'lemon bottle fat-dissolving injections we have at home' situation?

You'll lose at least 4 grams of enamel from your teeth from all that lemon juice so I guess that's always something.
