2. Precautions for watermelon to lose weight
Although watermelon can lose weight, it doesn't mean that you can lose weight by eating it casually. Want to lose weight with watermelon, need to pay attention to the following matters.
1, 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 you eat 1000~ 1250 calories, while the average small bowl of rice has about 200 calories. In other words, eating a watermelon is equivalent to eating five or six bowls of rice.
2, to lose weight, watermelon should not eat too much 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, the belly will grow out.
3. lose weight, you can't use watermelon instead of three meals a day.
Watermelon has many benefits, but its nutrients are relatively simple, with only a small amount of protein and cellulose, and the rest are sugar and water. The normal metabolism of 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.
