The watermelon diet works only in the case of a single product, there must be an obligatory predisposition to this product and the absence of negative reactions of your body to watermelons. This is a pretty tough diet, which is why it has a short shelf life in its pure form.
If painful sensations appear the day after the start of the watermelon diet, this diet should be stopped, as watermelon acts as a strong diuretic and this must be taken into account. At the beginning of the diet, the main removal of the mass will be carried out due to the loss of excess water-salt deposits.
The first requirement of the menu for a watermelon diet is to adhere to the number of watermelons consumed per day based on one kilogram of watermelon per ten kilograms of body weight, other products simply cannot be consumed. There is no time limit - you can eat watermelon at any time. You can drink, but unlimited, only water or green tea. And alcohol will have to be eliminated entirely.
There is another embodiment of the watermelon diet, less strict, since at every meal (watermelon), you can eat slices of rye bread. In this case, the duration of the diet increases to one and a half weeks.
Duration of the diet
It is not necessary to adhere to the watermelon diet for more than ten days in all menu options, however, after its termination, to correct the effect of weight loss, a food low in fat and protein is required, these are vegetables and fruits in any form, cereals, grains, fish, cheese, chicken, eggs, cottage cheese for breakfast and lunch. Dinner should be done at least four hours before bedtime, preferably at six in the evening and should consist of only one watermelon, (maximum - thirty kilograms of mass no more than one kilogram of watermelon). A slice of rye bread is also allowed. This supportive exit from the diet lasts for ten days. At the same time, the decrease in body weight continues, but already at a slower rate, and the metabolism normalizes due to the release of the body from deposits of salts, toxins and toxins.
Benefits of the watermelon diet
The main advantage of the watermelon diet is its easy tolerance, the reduction of hunger, which is different for more restrictive diets. Of course, it is desirable at the same time to love watermelons and not to suffer from a painful reaction of the body to this product. Another undoubted advantage of the watermelon diet is its undoubted result in a relatively short time. The third advantage of the watermelon diet is a noticeable normalization of metabolism and the removal of toxins, toxins and deposits from the body during the diet.
Downside
The disadvantage of the watermelon diet is the impossibility of its use in diseases of the kidneys and genitourinary system, for example, kidney stones, pyelonephritis, diabetic disorders, since the entire burden of cleansing the body of toxins during the diet falls on the kidneys. Consultation with a doctor is highly desirable. Weight loss due to fluid intake rather than body fat is also attributed by many to the disadvantages of the watermelon diet, but this is typical of many popular diets.
