I've been growing parsley for a long time. Some people say that it also helps in weight loss. So use it for this purpose. I was thinking of making tea and drinking it every afternoon or night before going to bed. How can this be?

    What if both lemon and parsley are mixed and drunk?

    Well if it’s lemon and parsley it’s no and no.

    According to a Gardeners World episode from 2017 I watched the other day, it's actually supposed to increase appetite.  The lady recommended using it for the sick and elderly with no appetite, to mix it in fresh with a bit of scrambled eggs or soup.  It increases digestive juices and appetite, according to her.

    Neither parsley nor lemon, on their own or combined, can help with weight loss, other than as part of a calorie controlled diet and exercise regime.  

    If you are struggling to lose weight when on a calorie controlled diet you should see your doctor.

    You'd certainly lose weight if you ate nothing else......

    I've found 2 things that helped me lose weight without even trying.
    One was going vegetarian.
    The second was getting covid earlier this year.
    I lost my appetite completely for nearly 2 weeks and lost  weight accordingly. I've got it back now and eating like a horse, but still at the bottom of my ideal weight range. Don't recommend this method though, even if I can eat chocolate entirely guilt free, as it was not a pleasant experience!
