Tips
In order for the watermelon diet to be beneficial and enjoyable, it is important to choose high-quality fruits, because this is the basis of the diet, on which your well-being and health depend.
- Don't pounce on the first watermelon, because early fruits usually have a lot
nitrates , this also applies to berries that are too large (over 12 kg). - You can't buy berries with a "lined" barrel, it seems to us that you can cut off the rotten ones, and that's fine, but the bacteria in the sweet, juicy pulp of the watermelon spreads too quickly and can be very dangerous.
- Do not eat sluggish fruits, because they contain less beneficial vitamins and sugars, which are already degraded due to long-term storage.
Diet price
It changes every year because inflation affects both imports and domestic products. In addition, the price of watermelon varies depending on the season, location and where it is sold, but on average the diet is not too expensive and almost anyone can afford it.
