First, can watermelon really lose weight?
Watermelon can induce diuresis, help digestion and eliminate edema. Watermelon's water content is really not comparable to that of ordinary fruits. More than 94% of watermelon is water, which can help eliminate excess water in the body, maintain the normal operation of kidney function and eliminate edema. The amino acid in watermelon has diuretic function, but it is not frequent urination. Instead, it helps you to reduce the number of times you pee. When the urine volume increases, the toxins in the body can be discharged smoothly, and the metabolism will naturally be good. For dizziness and fatigue caused by drinking, it also has a good effect on hangover.
However, as we all know, watermelon is sweet, and it contains more sugar, so you should also pay attention to skills when eating watermelon to lose weight!
Second, eat watermelon to lose weight without getting thinner, but will it get fat?
Although watermelon is more than 94% water, its sugar content is relatively high. If you eat a big watermelon every day, it is about 8 ~10 kg, which means that you have taken in 1000 ~ 1250 kcal. When summer comes, it is the production period of watermelon. Watermelon diet not only makes people eat delicious watermelons to solve their cravings, but also can lose weight normally. However, there are also some people who also use watermelon to lose weight, but instead of losing weight, they gain weight. Watermelon can't lose weight?
In fact, the reason why they gain weight is that they eat watermelon in the wrong way. When adopting the watermelon diet, people should pay attention to the following points:
NO 1: To lose weight, you can't replace three meals a day with watermelon.
Although watermelon has many benefits, its nutritional components are relatively simple, with only a small amount of protein and cellulose, and the rest are sugar and water. The normal metabolism of the human body needs a lot of protein and various nutrients every day, so it is not appropriate to use watermelon instead of three meals a day to lose weight.
Also, I would like to remind MM people, especially those who are crazy about losing weight. Watermelon is cold, and it is not easy for women to eat more during menstruation. It is best not to eat iced watermelon! Watermelon is a kind of sugar-rich, and sugar is easily converted into fat, so some people say that eating watermelon can not only lose weight, but may gain weight! Can you really lose weight by eating watermelon? Let me explain it to you one by one.
NO2: To lose weight, watermelon can't be eaten as a meal.
Although watermelon is more than 94% water, its sugar content is relatively high. Watermelon with normal sweetness contains 5% sugar, so it brings high calories. The calorie of watermelon is 250 kcal/kg. That is to say, if you eat a big watermelon every day, it is about 8 ~10 kg, which means that you consume 1000 ~ 1250 kcal, while the calorie of a small bowl of rice is about 200 kcal. In other words, eating a watermelon is equivalent to eating five or six bowls of rice.
NO3: To lose weight, you should not eat too much watermelon before going to bed.
Watermelon is rich in sugar. If you eat too much before going to bed at night, it will increase insulin and promote fat synthesis. Most of the newly synthesized fat in the human body is stored in the abdomen, so the amount of exercise at night is reduced, and the fat is only stored and not consumed. After a long time, a small belly grows.
Third, watermelon weight loss tips
1, you can't eat watermelon at the beginning of a cold.
Chinese medicine believes that eating watermelon in the early stage of a cold, whether it is a cold or a wind-heat cold, is equivalent to taking drugs that clear internal heat. This will attract evil spirits, make the cold worse or prolong the course of the disease. However, when the cold gets worse, there are internal heat symptoms such as high fever, thirst, sore throat, yellow urine and so on. At the same time of normal medication, eating some watermelon properly will help the patient recover.
2, although watermelon detoxification beauty has a miraculous effect, but after all, it is a fruit with high sugar content, easy to convert into fat.
Tips: You can eat less of the sugary part of watermelon, and choose red and white watermelon skin to eat. In summer, you can even cook with watermelon skin. For example, we can make a cold watermelon skin, red pepper watermelon and so on.
3. Don't eat watermelons that have been open for too long.
The high temperature in summer is suitable for bacterial reproduction. If you eat watermelon that has been opened for too long and has been contaminated by germs, it will lead to gastrointestinal infectious diseases. Moreover, it is not suitable to eat watermelon after 9 o'clock in the evening, and it is easy to grow a lower abdomen and a small belly.
4, watermelon is a cold thing, eating too much at a time is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach.
People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, indigestion and loose stools should eat less, otherwise it will lead to abdominal distension and diarrhea, loss of appetite and accumulation of cold to help damp. Watermelon contains a lot of water, which will dilute gastric juice, causing indigestion and decreased gastrointestinal resistance.
