Tips

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

  • Do not jump on the first watermelons, because in the first fruits there are usually a lot ofnitrates, this also applies to too large berries (more than 12 kg).
  • You can't buy berries with a "doubled" barrel, it seems to us that the spoiled one can be cut and that's fine, but the bacteria in the sweet, juicy pulp of a watermelon spread too quickly and can be very dangerous.
  • Don't take slow fruits, as they contain less beneficial vitamins and sugars that have had time to break down from 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 everyone can afford it.
