Considering the beautiful model "fluttering" on the runway, some of us girls do not dream of having the same "light" proportions without burdening the extra weight. There is no doubt that even in the era of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, curvy feminine shapes are important. However, since then, the focus of work has changed. Nowadays, the standard for measuring women's beauty is far from attractive body, but the slimmest and toned body. In order to get close to the beauty of the stereotype, uncompromising women can use almost any method at any time. But if we talk about favorite foods, then these are of course various diets-single products and multiple ingredients. Today, we are going to talk about the very popular weight loss system-watermelon weight loss method. In this article, you will understand its detailed information, advantages, disadvantages, varieties and exit rules.
How does the watermelon diet work?
It is no secret that watermelon syrup has obvious diuretic effects. Is this characteristic of sweet berries useful for the body? In most cases, yes or no. Watermelon cleans the kidneys and urethra, not only removes toxins and toxins from the body, but also removes excess water from the body. Therefore, in principle, the desired weight loss effect can be achieved at the beginning of the diet. However, in some cases, this practice of watermelon is not safe. Especially when the functions of the kidneys and genitourinary system are violated, this burden is not only harmful, but even destructive. The "but" without the above-mentioned disease form is the "green light" for weight loss with watermelon, but the premise is that the berry can usually be tolerated by the body.
The pros and cons of the watermelon diet
Advantages:
- Short-term;
- Easy to transplant;
- High efficiency (promise to lose 5-7 kg in 5-7 days);
- No need to follow a specific meal schedule (you can eat watermelon at any time even before going to bed);
- Body clean;
- Normalization of metabolism;

- Possible side effects, such as weakness, lethargy and fatigue;
- Contraindications: kidney and genitourinary system diseases, diabetes, pregnancy, lactation.
Various watermelon diets
It is customary to distinguish two watermelon diets:
- The menu is based only on watermelon and liquid. The permitted beverages are purified water and sugar-free green tea. To determine the daily standard of the product, you must divide your weight by 10. Therefore, for example, if you weigh 50 kg, you can consume 5 kg of watermelon syrup per day. Ideally, organize a meal every 3 hours, that is, 5-6 times a day. The recommended eating time should not exceed 5-7 days.
- The second form of the watermelon diet is to give dieters some small obsessions in the form of two small pieces of rye or whole wheat bread for each meal. However, the eating time will increase to 8-10 days.
The correct way to get rid of the watermelon diet
Losing those pesky pounds is definitely an achievement. But you must agree that the joy of lightness in your body will continue until your previous weight reminds you of yourself again. In order to avoid the boomerang effect, it is necessary to ensure the correct withdrawal from the watermelon diet. The ideal consolidation of reaching an ideal weight is considered a special diet for 10 days. During this period, it is necessary to give priority to low-fat protein carbohydrate foods-cereals, lean meats and fish, low-fat fermented dairy products, eggs, herbs, vegetables and fruits. For those from the watermelon diet, this is a rough menu for the day:
- Breakfast:Unsweetened oatmeal, steamed with boiling water or low-fat milk, a piece of cheese, unsweetened tea;
- Lunch:cooked lean meat or fish-150-200 grams, vegetable salad with lemon juice and a little olive oil, unsweetened tea or coffee;
- Dinner:Watermelon-the ratio of 1 kg of pulp per 30 kg of body weight.
How to not harm the watermelon diet?
Needless to say, diet alone is related to certain damages to our body. Nevertheless, the most serious harm is not caused by the elimination of certain foods from the diet (the human body will definitely recover from them), but by the low quality of a product that constitutes a single diet. As you may have guessed, now we are talking about the quality of watermelon. We all know that the nitrate content in the watermelons sold in our markets and supermarkets is moderate. Therefore, when the first early watermelon berries went on sale, it was definitely not worth doing watermelon weight loss. It is recommended to use watermelon to lose weight before August, but to check the nitrate content in the berries, just use this simple method: put a small piece of watermelon pulp into a glass of water and wait for 10-15 minutes. If the water becomes turbid after the specified time, you can be sure that you are buying a (plus or minus) quality product, not a nitrate bomb. At the same time, the seconds will be indicated by the color of pink water. Other signs of "nitrate" watermelon include smooth, shiny cut surfaces, purple flesh, and yellow or light yellow veins on the surface.
Comments on the watermelon diet
"I love watermelon, so I can keep the watermelon diet light. I sit for the third consecutive year from August to September and lose 3-4 kg in 5 days. "
"With the nitrate analyzer, I make sure that we will not sell harmless watermelons. Of course, maybe I am lucky. . . Anyway, I prefer the buckwheat and kefir diet. "
"This diet suits me because it magically affects my skin. In principle, it is not surprising here-watermelon does clean the intestines perfectly, so the appearance of the skin is also improved. "
"I tried the pure watermelon diet for the first time. I was very satisfied with the results-I lost 6 kg in 8 days. While maintaining my weight, I lost weight in early August. "
