tips

In order for the watermelon diet to be beneficial and joyful, it is important to choose high-quality fruits, because this is the basis of the diet on which your well-being and health depend.

  • Do not throw yourself into the first watermelons, because in the first fruits there is usually a lot ofnitrates, this also applies to oversized berries (over 12 kg).
  • You can't buy berries with a "lined" barrel, it seems to us that you can cut the spoiled one and it's fine, but the bacteria in the sweet and juicy pulp of a watermelon spread too quickly and can be very dangerous.
  • Avoid slow fruits, as they contain less beneficial vitamins and sugars that have had time to break down as a result of long-term storage.

diet price

It varies each year, because inflation affects both imported and domestic products. In addition, the price of watermelons varies depending on the season, location, and places of sale, but on average, the diet is not very expensive, and almost anyone can afford it.
