Khyati's Health-O-Meter Says:

The low-calorie content of Okra and its high fiber content makes it a suitable food for weight loss. It provides minimum calories and the fiber helps in keeping you full for longer. Okra contains soluble fiber pectin. Pectin helps in lowering the bad cholesterol. Consuming curd or yogurt increases the capacity to absorb the nutrients and minerals from other foodstuffs. The calcium present in it prevents your body from pumping more cortisol which helps to reduce cholesterol and aids in weight loss.
