Tips
To make the watermelon diet useful 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 throw on the first watermelons, because early fruits usually have a lot
nitrates , this also applies to very large berries (more than 12 kg). - You can't buy berries with a "lined" barrel, it seems to us that you can cut off the rotten one and it's fine, but the bacteria in the sweet juicy pulp of the 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 break down due to long-term storage.
Diet price
It varies every year because inflation affects both imported and domestic products. In addition, the price of watermelon varies depending on the season, location and sales points, but on average, the diet is not very expensive and almost everyone can afford it.
