Of course you can eat. Absolutely effective. As long as you can persist, it is all the same. No way to lose weight is comfortable. Those so-called tricks are all "difficult" skills. In short, it is to increase the difficulty to achieve the effect of losing weight.
PS: raw bitter gourd is super old. Stir some for self-protection, but it is very nutritious, so as long as you can tolerate that bad taste, it will definitely be very effective for you to lose weight!
