Advice
In order for the watermelon diet to be useful and joyful, it is important to choose high-quality fruit, because this is the basis of the diet on which your well-being and health depend.
- Don't jump on the first watermelons, because there are usually a lot of early fruits
nitrites , this also applies to very large berries (over 12 kg). - You can't buy berries with a "lined" barrel, we find that rotten can be cut and is fine, but the bacteria in the sweet juicy pulp of a watermelon spreads very quickly and can be very dangerous.
- Do not take slow fruits, because they contain less useful vitamins and sugars that have had time to decompose as a result of long-term storage.
The price of the diet
It changes every 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.
