I have been following the female cutting diet since January and love it. Still can't seem to eat all that food. I have lost 18 lbs. Watermelon is on sale this week and I was wondering if I could add this as a non cheating treat Would anyone know if watermelon is ok to add?

Watermellon is OK as long as it fits into your diet. If I recall, a cup of watermellon has like 11 or 12 grams of carbs. Compared to an apple with around 18-20 carbs. The apple has a lot more fiber though.

Yeah, I wouldn't use it in place of other fruits. It's mostly water and natural sugars but it does have a lot of antioxidants. Not a bad thing now and then but your other fruits will provide more fiber and nutrients.

I really don't think advocating illegal psychotropic drugs is something you should do here.

Anyway, watermelon has a lot of really good antioxidants, most of which are found in the seeds which have to be crushed to access (won't do so well swallowed whole). A lot of times if I don't have time for a decent breakfast I'll put watermelon in a blender and mix it 'till the seeds are good and mushy and drink it down. It gets close to my calorie and carb needs and definitely not a bad way to start the day.

Oh and some C.S.C.S. posted an article talking about it being good at breaking up subcataneous fat deposits but personally I just think that's because it has a lot of water in it and if you read Jodi's post about why water is good for losing weight I won't have to waste my time typing it all out

what else do you put in the blender with the watermelon?

Posted by: Plateau_Max

Nothin' it blends perfectly, goes down easy too. I use it to swallow my multivitamins too. It's definitely not a complete breakfast by any means.

how much watermelon do you need to use to get a decent sized glass of juice?

Posted by: DiGiTaL

Hah, I'd like to try this as well.

shutup about the drugs. the rest of ur words were very good though

I can say what I want about drugs. They're illegal, get over it.

It doesn't take too much to make a good full size glass, just add chunks and blend 'till you've got what you want. I mix fruit up in the blender all the time. Passion fruit is a good one to mix with watermelon if you get the chance.
