Watermelon Diet?

Question

Has anyone ever heard or tried The Watermelon Diet? If so, what does it consist of? (besides the obvious)

Answer 1

You replace all meals with watermelon literally. You'll lose a lot of weight but it's mostly water weight. Watermelon is mostly 90% water and it tricks your stomach into becoming full after you eating/drinking all of the juice contained in the watermelon. It's a good kidney cleanser as well.

Answer 2

I don't know, but I will tell you any "gimmick" diet, while maybe causing some weight loss, tends to be a bad idea in the end...why? because you can't (and shouldn't) stick with it indefinitely and when you reach your goal and go off the diet what happens? You put the weight right back on.

Make a lifestyle change, don't go on a 'diet'. Eat healthy, drink lots of water, and exercise regularly. If you want to lose weight, decrease your calorie intake (but don't skip meals).

Good luck!

Answer 3

Its pretty much just Watermelon and water my sister does it sometimes when she needs to lose weight for something. She only does this for about 3 days you mainly lose water weight. But if you have a wedding or a party to go to its great for that. The weight doesn't stay off though.

Answer 4

Watermelon is primarily sugar water, you will loose possibly a a fifth of a pound... If you really want to loose weight try a gym membership and some whole grains, lean meats, and vegetables galore!

Answer 5

it consists of a whole lot of bull-sh-it, just like every other fad diet.

there is on magic to weight loss, consume less than you burn and you will lose weight

HERE ARE THE BASICS:

1. you lose weight by consuming fewer Calories than you burn
2. you gain weight by consuming more Calories than you burn.
3. you should be concerned with losing FAT, not weight. There are 3500 Calories/Lbs of fat. To lost one pound of fat/week you have to burn 3500 Calories/week more than you consumed. there are 2500 Calories in a pound of muscle.
4. You should be more concerned with your percent body fat, not your weight.
5. the best, most effective way or burning fat is by combining weight-training and cardio exercise. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be. You will burn more calories all day long, including while you sleep. A health body fat percentage for males is 7-18%, females 18-24% (approximate numbers).
6. you should eat 6-8 small meals each day - this will prevent you from eating 3 large meal which will slow your metabolism while your body works to digest the large quantity of food.

As a general rule of thumb, you should be weight-training 3-4 times per week and performing cardio 3-5 times per week.

Consider hiring a personal trainer (ISSA certified) and a nutritionist. The money spent on these services is worth more than spending money on pills and potions.
