My favorite fruit is strawberries, cherries, and blueberries. Berries are refreshing frozen with some cottage cheese or yogurt and a few nuts. I do enjoy watermelon but not every day. Thank you, Abby, for your thoughts on watermelon.
And here I am every summer eating half a watermelon every other day because I know I only get to have it for such a short amount of time during the year 😭
That’s okay. It’s when you start doing it to stop yourself from eating other foods and to fill you up that it becomes concerning
I am a watermelon fiend. When I get my hands on some, I usually eat around 500g at a time. At the moment I’ve made myself a bit sick of it, but during summer I was eating it almost every day. I am also on a weight loss journey (down 62lbs!) but never tried to use watermelon as a hack to beat hunger. I just don’t really think that would work. It can make a good snack on its own, but yeah, it doesn’t really create satiety. I usually eat it along with a small serving of something protein heavy if I’m making it a meal. You’re never gonna feel good if you’re not properly nourished, and that means getting a balanced intake of all your macros. I’ve had issues with restrictive EDs in the past, and they’re really a miserable test of willpower, because you’re always fighting hunger. Plus you always feel like crap. This is the first time I’m losing weight in a healthy way, and omg, it is SO much easier. It’s just falling off me and people are so impressed but honestly, I don’t even really feel like I’m trying that hard, lol. I rarely exercise and I almost never have to deal with hunger to stay within my calorie budget. It’s all about balanced eating.
Are you counting calories? I also want to lose weight, but I struggled with disorderd eating (and still am) and I always hear from other people, that I should count calories, but I’m afraid that I will end up starving myself.
I cut mine up into a container and put in fridge so when I want something sweet I grab a few pieces lovely and cold and enjoy but it’s more about a replacement for say eating ice cream for me so guess that could be considered weight loss alternative!
Personally i think its super tasty and idc how nonfilling or anything it is
Also kinda a bonus that theres so much water bc i dont really love actually drinking water
this is very funny an old lady told me that on a spinning class 10 years ago in a hot smelly basement where children cut their wrists
oh and was sexually harrassed on my way home by an investigate journalist after in the most disgusting way it made my want to throw my life away and throw up all my guts😅
wher le can i pay for this blond ladie?
If you’re someone who enjoys snacking, however, and have specific calorie targets, consuming high volume, low-calorie dense foods can be very satisfying. And the fact that it is so low calorie means that you can have another snack, a short time later.
Eating these types of high volume, delicious, healthy, low cal foods is great for people who enjoy snacking throughout the day – and makes it possible to adhere to specific dietary targets. Not everyone wants or needs a super high calorie meal that’s going to keep them full for hours.
I love eating like half a personal watermelon in the summer. But I also know I’m not eating it to satiate hunger. I’m eating it because it’s a cold, sweet treat that’s perfect for a hot summer day. If I wanted it to be filling, I’d add it to a salad with chicken, feta, dark leafy greens, and a balsamic glaze. Both snacks are okay! They just feed a different hunger.
