The benefits of watermelon for fasting days for weight loss. Fasting day on watermelon

The end of August, September pleases us with another berry, perhaps the largest of all, and I propose to take advantage of this time and arrange a fasting day on a watermelon. It is perfect for this - a low-calorie product, and most importantly, very tasty, which will help you easily endure this little test.

Nutritionists advise organizing unloading days not only for people who want to lose excess weight... They are useful to each of us, because they are good way cleanse of toxins and toxins that accumulate in the cells of our body over time. Variants fasting days there are very different, but today I want to talk about the watermelon, because now is the time for him.

Fasting day on watermelon

So that the watermelon day would be beneficial for us, let's immediately talk about how to choose this berry correctly.

It is not advised to buy watermelons before their mass sale begins. In fruits that are sold out of season, there may be great content nitrates and without a trace the use of such a product may not pass, there are cases of poisoning.
Choose berries without dents or cracks, with a glossy surface.
Often sellers offer to cut the watermelon to ensure that it is ripe. Never agree to this - you need to cut it at home with a clean knife, after having washed the berry well in order to protect yourself from intestinal infection.
One of the ways to determine the ripeness of a product is by tapping; this is the only way my husband chooses watermelons. A voiced sound speaks of ripeness, and a deaf one either that the fruit is not ripe, or is overripe. The tail of a ripe fruit should be dry.

The benefits and harms of a watermelon fasting day

It would seem like just one day, but even a one-day diet should benefit our body and not cause any harm, especially if you have any chronic diseases. Therefore, it is important to know all the pros and cons and start with the positive.

Why is watermelon good for a fasting day

Who does not have a watermelon day

This huge berry is considered a harmless product and is allowed to be included in the diet not only healthy people, but also for those who have various chronic diseases. But if you have a diagnosis such as:

diabetes,
cholelithiasis, urolithiasis,
urinary tract disease,
pancreatic disease,
stomach ulcer in the acute stage,

then you need to control the amount of pulp eaten, so unloading on a watermelon is not recommended.

If you have suffered some kind of illness, your immunity is reduced, your body is weakened, you will have a big mental or exercise stress, then it is worth refraining from spending a fasting day and this applies not only to watermelon, but also to any other.

Watermelon day during pregnancy

Very often, doctors recommend arranging unloading days for pregnant women, including on a watermelon. Thanks to this procedure, metabolism improves, the load on cardiovascular system, the work of all is normalized internal organs, with the help of such days, you can remove excess weight and reduce swelling. But unloading can be carried out no more than 1 time per week and only on the recommendation of a doctor who controls pregnancy.

How much watermelon can you eat on a fasting day

While studying this issue, I found a variety of recommendations:

1.5 - 2 kg of pulp per day
1 kg of pulp per 30 kg of weight, we consider, for example, with a weight of 70 kg - 2 kg 300 g
1 kg of pulp per 15 kg of weight - with a weight of 70 kg - 4 kg 700 gr.
1 kg of pulp per 10 kg of weight - with a weight of 70 kg - 7 kg

What can I say about the above norms, I made the following conclusion: 1.5 - 2 kg is the minimum that must be eaten in order to have the effect of unloading. If health permits and there is a desire, then perhaps more.

I already carried out unloading on a watermelon, but I had no thought of weighing, in the end I ate 1 medium watermelon in a day, and I don’t know how much pulp it contained by weight.

How much can you throw off on a watermelon per day - results, reviews

Although I focus more on health, I think this question is still of interest to those who would like to get rid of extra pounds... Nutritionists speak positively about unloading with the help of watermelon, but they advise not to get carried away and do it no more than once a week. They also say that yes, the weight can go away even in 1 day, but it goes away due to the liquid, the fat does not go away. In order to prevent dehydration, in the intervals between the times when you eat watermelon, you must definitely drink water.

Dear readers, I invite you to talk about the unloading day on the watermelon. Perhaps someone on vacation has pampered too much and now wants to get in shape.

Therefore, I hasten to offer you a kind of fasting day that will delight you with taste and will be a symbolic farewell to the past summer. We are getting slimmer, younger, we enjoy the taste with the help of a fasting day on a watermelon.

By the way, I will say that I am not a supporter of strict diets. All the same, diets have breakdowns. But to find a middle ground, eat a little, often, fractionally and arrange for ourselves periodically fasting days - I think we can do it.

On the blog, we have already talked about, carried out, slimmed with the help.

The hero of today's article is a handsome watermelon. More recently, we talked about its benefits. Everything is logical - after all, it was just the season for drinking watermelons. But even today, in spite of the fact that it has already been "sentimental" outside the window, watermelons are sold both in stores and in markets.

So we will use this chance to the maximum. We talked about the benefits of watermelon for our body in the article. And today we will consider this wonderful fruit from a dietary point of view.

Fasting day on a watermelon. Pros of application. Useful properties of watermelon for weight loss.

On the blog, we have repeatedly talked about fasting days, considering different variants... But, probably, there has never been such a delicious fasting day. Hence, the first plus of unloading on a watermelon is deliciousness. It will appeal to those with a sweet tooth, who find it most difficult to keep themselves within the framework of any product without sweets.

Diet or fasting day? How can you lose weight with watermelon

I want to clarify right away that there is exactly a fasting day on a watermelon, which lasts a day and the purpose of which is to give the body a rest, cleanse itself, and at the same time slightly adjust the weight. There is also a watermelon diet, which assumes a longer period of use - 4-6 days. It can be tried only by those who, as they say, have "iron health", because with such a prolonged deprivation of the body of its traditional nutrients, any problems may appear.

Often the watermelon diet is used for about 3 days, after which they simply "come out" of it more smoothly, gradually adding other foods to the diet. This option is suitable for those who are still aiming at radical weight loss. For myself, I think that one day completely on a watermelon can be an excellent option to unload in one day. There is a minimum of torment, and the health benefits are obvious.

Fasting day on a watermelon. Rules of conduct

So, the rules by which to carry out "watermelon unloading".

First of all, we go for a watermelon. It is better to do this the day before, so as not to bother running around on the appointed day, and in the morning to start the prescribed diet. We need a watermelon weighing 6-7 kg. According to the rule of the watermelon diet, for every 10 kg of your weight, you need to eat 1 kg of watermelon. That is, if your average weight, after rounding, is 60 kg, then your goal is a six-kilogram green "handsome". Actually, that's all.

To buy a watermelon and eat a watermelon is all your concern on this fasting day. And this is probably another plus of the watermelon menu - you don't need to cook anything. Cut it off and eat it for your pleasure. By the way, about pleasure. Ardent adherents of diets who are used to keeping themselves in tight-knit gloves, most likely, a fasting day on a watermelon will seem like a fairy tale. Still - this is not fasting on water, cucumbers, or some other not entirely tasty mono-diet. After all, watermelon is a recognized delicacy, so eating it all day long is a sheer pleasure.

Watermelon unloading - easy and smart

But for those who have not particularly met with restrictions on food before and have turned to fasting days for the first time, perhaps such a prospect will seem too difficult. Then I hasten to calm you down.

Firstly, if during a watermelon day it is absolutely unbearable, you can eat some coarse bread, bran.

And secondly, it will be possible to smoothly adapt to watermelon unloading. To do this, for two or three days, try from morning to 12 noon to eat everything that you usually eat during this period. But from 12 until the end of the day, already eat one watermelon. If you feel that it is difficult, then we eat a watermelon after 15 days, and before that time we eat normally, without excesses and fanaticism, of course. Happened? Then we try only the watermelon after 12. And so, if there is a desire and need, we will get to a full fasting day on a watermelon.

Fasting day on a watermelon. 3 options

Well, so that you have a chance to choose an option for yourself, I give you a few recipes. In each of them, the main character is a watermelon. In terms of the degree of complexity and, accordingly, efficiency, they are all different. So we choose by ourselves.

Option one: Fasting day on the watermelon "Smooth entry" ... I described it a little higher. Adaptation can be done 3 or 4 days before trying to unload by eating one watermelon. So you can check yourself on the one hand, understand whether you need it - on the other, and, finally, smoothly prepare the body for restriction in food, without exposing it to the stress of sudden hardships. Perhaps such a food option for a week will already allow you to achieve the desired result, and overweight Such adaptations will be "lost".

Option two: Fasting day on watermelon "Watermelon plus" ... Assumes the use of watermelon in combination with a slice of bran bread, low-fat yogurt or melon. I would like to emphasize that you need to choose one of the offered products as partners. That is, either bread or yogurt. If you love melons, melon is an excellent option. It will brighten up the monotony of a watermelon, and will give you the opportunity to enjoy another delicious fruit, well, it will not add a lot of calories. If we talk about the quantity, then this is 100-150 g of coarse bread, 200 ml of low-fat yogurt or 0.5 kg of melon per day of watermelon unloading. Melon and watermelon can be alternated throughout the day. But to eat bread or yogurt at one time, it is better not to combine with watermelon and better in the morning.

Option three: Fasting day on watermelon "Watermelon and only watermelon" ... The name speaks for itself. We divide the norm, which I indicated above, into 6 receptions and use it throughout the day. If you took a watermelon weighing 6-7 kg, then excluding the crusts you get 3-4 kg of pulp. We divide it into equal portions (it will come out somewhere in 350-400 g). It is usually recommended to eat watermelon every 1.5-2 hours. So that the body receives without a long break nutrients, and so that the liquid for cleaning the vessels is also regularly supplied. You can drink mineral water still or unsweetened green tea... But, using so much watermelon, you most likely will not feel a special need for drinking. Unless you will drink in those moments when you want something tasty. As one friend of mine, always practicing various kinds of diets, said: “Do you want to eat? Drink some water. "

Fasting day on a watermelon. Reviews and results

One fasting day on a watermelon can "deprive" you of 1-1.5 kg. If you master the weekly diet, then 4-6 kg can "go away". The main thing is not to overdo it. You can unload with the help of a watermelon no more than once a week. And as an option for getting out of the watermelon diet, you can apply the smooth introduction of products into your diet, leaving the watermelon in the daily menu after 15 days. So we will save the body from "food stress" and ensure that the result is securely consolidated in terms of weight loss.

Watermelon fasting day. Contraindications and warnings

But for a fasting day, as for any day of restrictions, there are warnings and even contraindications.

You can not carry out unloading on a watermelon:

After any recently past illness when the immunity has not yet had time to fully restore its protective functions and get stronger.
During the period of mental and power stress.
To those who are sick diabetes mellitus, cholelithiasis has serious illnesses kidneys, especially during an exacerbation.

For a watermelon fasting day, it is better to choose a day off, plan everything in advance and not send this day to travel, to important events, and so on. You need to carry it out at home, controlling the whole process. Of course, you can go out on the street, for a walk, even for a short while on business. But a business trip to another city or a full-time working day in the office is not your option for such a fasting day.

A fasting day on a watermelon is a godsend for those with a sweet tooth. Among effective diets for weight loss, experts identify a mono-diet, when the diet consists of one product. Juicy berry will help to lose the hated pounds and free the body from toxins, toxins, food debris.

Ripe watermelon is a source of nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of the human body:

The liver and kidneys are cleansed, the blood is renewed. In 100 gr. watermelon pulp contains 38 kcal, you can not bother with calculations and menu development, but simply enjoy the taste and proven benefits.

During an exacerbation chronic diseases stomach, urinary system is strictly forbidden to experiment with the diet. Lycopene, which is part of the composition, causes allergic reaction, you need to make sure that there is no sensitivity to the trace element. Inconvenience can arise due to frequent visits to the toilet if unloading occurs during work.

Frequency and rules

The watermelon unloading day should be spent during the melon harvest season, which falls on the end of August - September. When buying, knock on the surface - ringing sound indicates ripeness, and deaf occurs if the watermelon is spoiled. The peel should be juicy green, without spots, dents. A yellow mark on the side indicates that the fruit is ready to eat. You should not cut the watermelon to check the inside - it is possible that pathogenic bacteria enter. At home, wash the berries thoroughly with running water, then wipe with a dry towel. The cut half should be covered with cling film, then put in the refrigerator.

Nutritionists advise to cleanse the body once a week to achieve effectiveness. It is allowed to unload within one day without preliminary preparation... The fruit is cut into 5-7 servings, which should be consumed every 2 hours. It is necessary to determine in advance the optimal amount of pulp consumed per day. The minimum amount is 2 kg, and the maximum is calculated depending on the body weight: 10 kg of weight - 1 kg of pulp. Do not force yourself to eat portions through force, overeating will lead to heaviness in the stomach. Reduce volume and enjoy unloading.

Diet options for unloading

If you periodically repeat the fasting day, the result will be fixed, you will be able to lose weight. Those who find it difficult to eat one product can be combined with other ingredients.

Watermelon

The first option is to consume only watermelon pulp. Water is excluded, but those who cannot do without it are allowed to drink cool mineral water without gas. The fruit must be cut, peeled, measured in equal portions, consumed every two hours. The usefulness of the method of losing weight lies in the targeted cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to an improvement in metabolism.

In the morning it is worth drinking a glass of kefir, only about 1 liter per day. You cannot combine products.

And black bread

Fasting day is very useful on watermelon and black bread, and you will not feel hungry. Take 150 gr. coarsely ground black bread, divided into equal parts, use in the morning, alternating with sweet pulp. Bread acts as a natural sorbent that releases nutrients by absorbing toxins.

From carefully washed cucumbers, you should prepare a salad without salt, but with the addition of a few drops olive oil... You should not eat the pulp of the berry and the cucumber together, it is better to alternate portions of the same size. Low-calorie cucumber salad contains many vitamins, which increases the effectiveness of the one-day discharge.

The alternation of two melons and gourds will diversify the menu during the mono-diet. It is not recommended to use together in order not to increase gas production. The melon is thoroughly washed, the portions to be eaten during the day are measured. Additionally, it is allowed to drink plain water to remove the sweetness in your mouth.
