For some reason, it is generally accepted that the fat accumulated during the winter disappears by itself due to an active lifestyle. No matter how it is! Many of us realize that by getting rid of lightweight shorts and loose sundresses at the end of the season, we have achieved significant weight. Immediately, one recalls funny trips to a barbecue, and cozy meetings in an ice cream parlor, and exotic treats at a foreign resort.
But this is not the time to lose heart, you need to act! Watermelon time is August-September, and not only is a tasty striped berry sugar pulp, but also useful for those who dream of losing weight. Nutritionists call the diet watermelon one of the most effective and sweet. During it, you will not have to deal with the lingering feeling of hunger that interferes with living and working. All you have to do is follow the diet, and positive dynamics will not take long.
What is the effectiveness of the watermelon diet
Watermelon pulp is a storehouse of micro-macronutrients, vitamins and valuable organic acids. The presence of iron, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and sodium salts has a beneficial effect on the activity of the digestive, hematopoietic and cardiovascular systems. Watermelon fiber helps cleanse the body of toxins and eliminate harmful cholesterol. The acid-base balance is regulated by the presence of alkaline compounds in the product, and pectin fibers normalize intestinal motility. In addition, regular consumption of whiskey is an excellent cancer prevention.
How to calculate the part
No matter how valuable the benefits of watercolors are, uncontrolled eating of juice pulp can have devastating consequences, as, indeed, for any product - diarrhea, nausea and severe stomach pains.
The formula for calculating an individual daily allowance is simple: 1 kg of whiskey pulp for every 10 kg of your weight. That is, if you weigh 60 kg, without risk to your health, you can not eat more than 6 kg of watermelon, of course, not in one sitting, but divide it into equal parts.
Watermelon diet options
If you are afraid that you will only have to eat whiskey pulp during the diet, then this is not the case. The miracle striped berry works well with other foods, allowing you to diversify the menu. Choose the version of the watermelon diet that is right for you:
- With melon: the famous aromatic relative - melon - comes to the aid of the sugar "bottom". During this diet, you eat light, low-calorie foods (low-fat cottage cheese, hard cheese, lean meats, vegetables), and melon slices serve you as a healthy snack.
- With kefir: very good in summer heat. Within 3 days, you only eat striped berry pulp and kefir-zero (you can take 1%). The interval between meals is 3 times.
- With black bread: a good choice for those who lose flour during a diet. You just swap slices of whiskey with rye toast and you gain almost 1 kg lighter per day. The duration of the course is 10 days.
- With cucumber: for 2 weeks eat only watermelons and cucumbers (1 kg per day). It is allowed to "dilute" the daily menu with 1-2 toasted rye toast and a glass of zero yogurt.
- With Rice: This option only allows whiskey and rice (parboiled, wild or brown). Normal daily intake of products: rice - 100 g, whiskey pulp - no more than 1 kg per 20 kg weight.
- With cottage cheese: the best weight loss program for dessert lovers. For breakfast and afternoon tea, eat low-fat cottage cheese (150-200 g each), and for the rest of the meals, taste striped berry pulp.
- With buckwheat porridge: an option that allows you to lose weight without feeling hungry. Approved buckwheat (1 kg per day) in oil-free water, whiskey (not more than 5 kg per day), fresh vegetable salads and non-carbonated non-alcoholic beverages (green and herbal tea, water with lemon) without sugar.
- Watermelon protein is the perfect diet for meat eaters. It is allowed to eat lean meat, low-fat fish, whiskey (2 kg per day) and dairy products (low-fat yogurt, fat-free kefir, 1% milk). The best course length is 10 days.
Sitting on a watermelon diet, keep in mind, first of all, that a weight loss course means giving up starchy foods, sweets, salt, carbonated and alcoholic beverages. Coffee lovers can substitute a cup of their favorite drink for morning tea.
Length of watermelon diet
So, the decision is to lose weight. Now assess the scale of the problem (number of extra pounds) and your own power consumption. Now choose a course with a suitable duration:
- It is a tough but effective unloading on the body for 1, 2, or 3 days, and is only allowed to consume whiskey pulp and liquid (water, green tea).
- 5, 7, 10 or 14 days - milder programs in which the water watch works in conjunction with other products.
Try not to show excessive fanaticism, because only a truly healthy person can withstand a long course of mono-diet (the watermelon diet is such) without unpleasant consequences.

How to get out of the watermelon diet
The end of the diet course does not mean at all that you can pounce sharply on previously banned smoked meats, pickles and smoked confectionery, since the kilograms that have fallen so hard can return to their placesoriginal fast. Continue to eat healthy light foods like cereals, fresh and stewed vegetables, fruits, cooked meats, and lean fish. Portions of a pretty boring watermelon can be reduced, but you shouldn’t completely exclude the shredded berry from the menu. The transition will take as long as the diet itself.

The benefits of watermelon are an insurmountable fact, but not everyone can eat it in large quantities. People with pathologies of the kidneys, choleretic and genitourinary systems are at risk. The miracle berry is contraindicated in the last trimester of pregnancy, during lactation and in diabetes mellitus.
And remember! A watermelon diet will help you achieve the desired result, but in order to maintain it, you will need to lead a healthy lifestyle, quit smoking and alcohol abuse, and say goodbye to the daily buns-cheesecakes. You can handle it! Good luck!
