Autumn is a generous time and the best time for watermelon to lose weight. You ask why the watermelon diet is good? Is it suitable for everyone? What are its characteristics? Today, the editor will reveal the watermelon weight loss method for everyone.
The watermelon diet is one of the most delicious single diets, perfect for watermelon lovers. It can not only lose weight, but also improve the health of the entire human body. The watermelon diet is particularly useful for obesity, insomnia, atherosclerosis, anemia, constipation, arthritis, gout, liver and biliary diseases, and physical decline.
The essence of watermelon weight loss
During the entire diet, you only need to eat watermelon. Nutritionists believe that one kilogram of watermelon should be eaten for every 10 kilograms of body weight, and watermelon should be eaten 5-6 times a day. However, I want to remind you that if the watermelon is very sweet, you weigh 80 kg and eat it in the recommended mode (you need to eat 8 kg), you cannot lose weight, on the contrary, you can only get it.
As we all know, 100 grams of watermelon contains 38 calories. Therefore, with the daily requirement of 1, 500 calories, it is permissible to eat watermelon not exceeding 4 kg. I suggest choosing the middle ground: weighing about 60 kg (or less), allowing up to 3 kg of sweet berries, weighing more than 70 kg-not more than 4 kg of fruit, if the watermelon is very sweet.
With this diet, you can lose up to two kilograms of weight per day.
If you have read my article: The beneficial properties of watermelon, then please remember that watermelon contains soluble sugars (fructose, glucose, maltose, sucrose), as well as fiber and pectin fibers. They accelerate metabolic processes in the body, help reduce appetite, remove excess fluid, and reduce body fat. All of these contribute to weight loss. In addition, pectin can lower cholesterol levels, lower blood sugar levels, remove toxic substances from the body, and normalize the intestinal flora.
You know, before you start eating watermelon, it's best to check your body's response to the active use of watermelon. For this reason, in addition to the usual diet, 400-500 grams of watermelon should be eaten every day for 3-4 days. If you do not feel uncomfortable (flatulence, increased stools, heaviness in the abdomen), then you can start.
Watermelon diet choices
There are many choices for the watermelon diet.
- Fasting Day-One day watermelon diet. During the day, you only need to eat watermelon (about 5-6 times), as much as you can, but don't get too overwhelmed. Remember the number of calories per day. Also remember that in order to avoid swelling in the morning, the last time you eat watermelon should be 5 hours before going to bed.
- The lighter option-5 days in a row, 3 times a day, 1 hour before meals, eat 1-2 kg of watermelon. Then you can eat ordinary food, but you must exclude sweet (chocolate, candy, pies) and salty (middle, potato chips, pistachios, peanuts).
- 5 days watermelon diet-during this time we eat watermelon, just like on fasting days, but if you are very hungry, you can eat 2-3 slices of rye or whole wheat bread to pamper yourself. Bread will provide you with the energy you need. Remember that the last piece of bread must be eaten before 4 pm, otherwise the body cannot digest it before going to bed. If you have gastritis, then rye bread should be replaced with whole wheat bread.
- Soft diet-Stewed or boiled vegetables or grains (breakfast or dinner) are allowed to replace the watermelon in one of the meals. It is up to you to decide which option is best for you.
- Combination option-4 days recommended
The first breakfast: 150-200 grams of low-fat cheese and 3 slices of watermelon.
The second breakfast: 1-2 slices of watermelon.
Lunch: 1 bowl of porridge (in water, but salt can be added) and 3 slices of watermelon.
Afternoon snack: 50 grams of low-fat cheese and 1-2 slices of watermelon.
Dinner: 1 bowl of porridge (in water, but salt can be added) and 1 slice of watermelon.
This dietary choice is because rice supports the intestines in normal mode (after all, 70% of watermelon is liquid), while cottage cheese, the dosage used in the diet, completely compensates for the loss of calcium and the use of active watermelon.
You can lose 3-6 kg by sitting on a watermelon diet for a few days, but in order to avoid unnecessary complications, you need to quit eating properly. After the diet, it is recommended to eat in a certain way for 2 weeks: breakfast-water porridge (rice, buckwheat, oats) and a small amount of protein food (cheese, cheese, eggs); lunch-lean meat, fish, chicken and vegetables, dinner-watermelon. Then you can lose up to 8 kg in 15 days.
