Tips

In order for the watermelon diet to be beneficial and happy, it is important to choose high-quality fruit, because this is the basis of the diet on which your well-being and health depend.

  • Do not push on the first watermelons, because there are usually many of the early fruitsnitrates, this also applies to very large berries (over 12 kg).
  • You can't buy berries with a "layered" barrel, it seems to us that the damaged one can be cut and it's fine, but the bacteria in the sweet juicy pulp of a watermelon spreads very quickly and can be very dangerous.
  • Do not take lazy fruits, because they contain less beneficial vitamins and sugars that have had time to decompose as a result of long-term storage.

Diet price

Every year it varies, 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.
