Hot August is a great time for a seasonal watermelon diet. The advantages are obvious - it's simple, tasty, useful and effective. How to make watermelon detox most effective? Nutritionists share the basic rules.
- Do not turn the food program into a mono-diet. Of course, the juicy scarlet flesh of a ripe fruit contains a shock amount of citrulline, saturating muscle energy, magnesium, reducing the amount of "dangerous" sugar in the blood and folic acid involved in the processes of fat splitting. But prolonged use of watermelon instead of basic meals can disrupt metabolic processes - instead of losing weight, you will only gain excess weight.
- "Embroider" watermelon desserts in a balanced daily menu. Give preference to protein and vegetable dishes, as well as greens - nourishing and at the same time light foods will not cause gravity in the stomach and will allow easy enjoying watermelon dishes as snacks. At the time of the detox it is worth to give up all kinds of bread, pastries, pasta and high-calorie dainties - otherwise there is no need to wait for the magic effect.
- Observe the principle of moderation. Even if you adore watermelon - the rate of its daily consumption should not exceed 2 kilograms. In the early days of the detox, eat 150 grams of flesh per hour before breakfast, lunch or evening meal, then you can increase portions and replace the lunch with a watermelon dish and a salad of green vegetables. Those who are inclined to VSD and hypotension, do not be too zealous with the duration of the diet - a juicy fruit can cause deterioration.
