How to spend a day fasting on a watermelon: instructions from a star nutritionist

On the Internet, you can find a lot of conflicting information regarding watermelon weight loss. It is believed that it is pointless to arrange such a test for the body, since watermelon contains a lot of sugar, and its glycemic index does not contribute to healthy weight loss. Moreover, mono-diets have long since ceased to be considered the norm: today all nutritionists advocate a complete and balanced diet.

According to dietitian-nutritionist Olesya Reveko, watermelon fasting days are not just suitable for people with diabetes: they should be limited to 100-200 grams of watermelon pulp per day. The rest can try this unloading. It will give more positive results than fasting days on other berries and fruits: after all, watermelon contains less sugar and calories than, for example, apples, peaches and other fruits.

“Thanks to the days of fasting on watermelon, the body is effectively cleansed of toxins and toxins, intestinal motility improves, metabolism accelerates, and the digestive tract normalizes,” says the expert.

To spend a day fasting on a watermelon, you need to divide 1.5-2 kg of pulp into 6 meals during the day. For breakfast, you can combine watermelon with a cup of coffee without sugar or milk. Also, remember to maintain water balance. Despite consuming watermelon, you should be drinking your standard 6-8 glasses of water per day.
