		<description>Wow, 20 lbs in two weeks is definitely a dream for most people, but (and I know, I hate hearing this too) it definitely is NOT healthy to lose weight that fast!! You feel lightheaded and nauseous and have no energy because your body is telling you that you aren&#039;t eating properly. Like the article says, you&#039;re substituting a normal 1500-1800 calorie/day diet with a 100-300 calorie/day diet, and I can tell you from experience that as soon as you start eating other foods as well, the healthier you&#039;ll feel. Good luck, hope you&#039;re feeling a lot better!!</description>

		<description>Melanie,

If you combine an intense workout with little to no protein or other nutrients you will likely get dizzy and possibly pass out. If you keep at it long enough you could make yourself very sick. The only tried and true way to loose weight is to work hard. Get up early for a jog or walk. When you get home go to the gym. Be sure to eat nutrient rich food so your body has the energy for a workout the next day.

I&#039;m not a doctor or nutritionist and don&#039;t know what is appropriate for a 13 year old to eat, or how much you should work out. I&#039;d recommend that you call your doctor&#039;s office and let them know you&#039;d like to lose weight and would like your doctors approval before you begin. If you work with the people who know your body best you can identify your goals and plan a diet to suit your needs.

Good luck, and please let us know how you make out.</description>

		<description>JP ,, Tom is right . I went on holiday to Dubai and you know how we girls are ,, Swimsuit moments in a sizzling city . I had heard of the watermelon diet after my friend had collapsed from lightheadedness and loss of energy . The diet is really good , but its very dangerous . I decided to try it whilst in Dubai ,, But with some subtle changes .  Non sugar cereal for breakfast (since its the most important meal of the day) , a nice RIPE chunk of Watermelon , a BALANCED meal with fish instead of red meat . keep the greens in there aswell ... NO PICKING !! If your still peckish ,, go for the watermelons . It&#039;ll also give you your daily water requirements.
Plus , Its excercise that will make that excess fat run off your stomach . an hour Of Cardio at least 3 times A Week and 15 mins of weight training 3 times a week should guarantee Weight Loss Of About 10 To 15 Pounds Per Month If Kept Up . Its Worked For Me . Went from a 175 to a 140 . Never felt better . Good Luck !! x</description>

		<description>Myself, like many Americans have been predisposed to giant portions and overeating my entire life resulting in me always being on the husky side until the last few years.  I have incorporated watermelon into a daily part of my life. No, I&#039;m not surviving on watermelon alone. I basically eat what I&#039;ve always ate, but less. Because my body is so used to overindulgence whenever I ate less I found myself still feeling hungry and wanting more. That&#039;s where watermelon comes into play. All my unnessecarry eating is now watermelon.  When I want a late night after dinner snack, after lunch snack, or if after eating one serving at dinner and I&#039;m still hungry instead of going in for seconds,watermelon is the answer.</description>

		<description>I&#039; ve  been eating lots of  watermelons while doing a lot of jogs and crunches.i&#039; ve also been eating lots of fish and greens. Carbs on the other hand, are on my major watch. I make sure i don&#039;t eat too much of them.  I also eat papaya before going to sleep so that when the next day i could flush the food away. 

I haven&#039;t any problem really other than feeling floaty from time to time. I think it&#039;s because daily routines as a student. But after one and a half month, i&#039;ve actually lost about more than ten pounds.

Watermelons HELPED me in my diet. But it was NOT the very reason why i&#039;ve lost weight. 

I&#039;m still keeping up with my diet, though its hard not to slack,hehe.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m  NATURAL Bodybuilder, and I&#039;v eat a ton of watermelon to replace my carbs after 1pm, in the morning i eat porridge then at 1pm i eat sweet potatoe, 
Then after i would eat watermelon till 8pm (every 2hours), and boy I tell ya my abs have really come out, my bodyfat is 7% now !! 1 day a week i have anything i want like a pizza, then go back on the diet. ( it shocks the body and kick starts the metobolic system) 

Its all about calculations, you have to think and  balance the diet out (its like building a house).THINK

but it is a good fruit to have. the only one i have really.</description>

		<description>Hi.

I&#039;d just like to add that as a person who is most commonly known as a raw foodist, or a frugivore, I&#039;ve tried a lot of fruit mono diets. I haven&#039;t done watermelon myself but I think the main problem here is not eating enough of it. I&#039;ve done banana&#039;s only for 10 days and oranges only for 5 days. This is incredibly healthy as a cleanse, I would hesitate to say one should go on it for weight loss. You will lose weight even if you eat enough fruit to make up 3000 calories a day as your body has much more ease in digestion and thus time to repair and renew. However, people should be cautioned as it is easy to put the weight back on when you go back to eating so-called &#039;normal&#039; foods like grains and dairy. If you are going to try this you should do your research. Look into various websites on the raw food movement eg 30 bananasaday and you will find plenty of information. A pure fruit diet is really good for you, but you will experience detox symptoms because your body is cleansing. So don&#039;t expect to feel good right away. Also you should take care when breaking this diet and not binge on healthy foods because you&#039;re calorie deprived. So make sure you eat enough! I weighed about 54 and lost about 5kgs eating around 20 bananas a day or more (with exercise) and have maintained that weight loss. However, my purpose in doing this was as a cleanse and frankly I&#039;m keen to do it again as I&#039;ve never felt better. I am a vegan though and already by most people&#039;s standards incredibly healthy so not everyone will have the same experience. The most important thing is that you research it properly as you could actually experience weight gain!</description>

		<description>Thank you for the &lt;strong&gt;Watermelon Diet Facts&lt;/strong&gt;. I found your article very helpful. A good friend was trying to convince me to try this diet with her and thanks to your article I will be avoiding it. To me, it sounds like using the &lt;strong&gt;Watermelon Diet Weight Loss&lt;/strong&gt; tecnique is a complete waste of time. I wonder if anyone has tried it and found that they lost weight on the diet. I&#039;d also be interested to hear what &lt;strong&gt;food&lt;/strong&gt; they ate on the diet.</description>

		<description>It really depends on your body. If you&#039;ve ever done a fasting diet before, I&#039;d expect you would see similar results. Since you won&#039;t be eating much of anything for three days it would empty out your belly and your entire system. Once you begin eating like normal your belly will fill back up and you&#039;ll gain most of the weight back. 

Depending on how your body handles the change you may end up gaining less weight back than you lost, for a net loss in weight. It is also possible that after three days your body will have entered &lt;strong&gt;starvation mode&lt;/strong&gt; and will be reserving as much food as possible. This could result in a weight gain after you get off the diet.

If I wanted to &lt;strong&gt;lose weight in 3 days&lt;/strong&gt; I&#039;d excercise more. I&#039;d probably use every hour of daylight to be outside doing something active. If you really push yourself, and maybe even get a personal trainer for a few hours to point you in the right direction it is amazing what you can do with excercise. As always it all depends on your specific body, so I&#039;d suggest speaking with your doctor before doing anything.</description>
