The diet plan is to only eat watermelon for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to get rid of toxins in your body. Stick to this diet for five days (maybe add some other foods back after the third day) and watch your weight decrease quickly. Since each slice of watermelon only has 86 calories, you’d have to eat a whole watermelon or more every day to get the 1,200 calories that women need to stay healthy (or 1,500 calories for men).

When you eat watermelon, you get a boost of citrulline into your bloodstream. This makes blood vessels relax, just like an erectile dysfunction medication. Studies have also shown that citrulline can increase your libido. There doesn’t seem to be a hard-and-fast rule about how much to eat to get these benefits, but LiveScience says it’s probably a lot.

Watermelon is good for your body in general. It’s low in calories and fat, full of vitamins and minerals, and has a lot of water, which makes it very refreshing on hot days. This fruit is one of the best sources of a phytonutrient called lycopene. Lycopene is an antioxidant that gives the fruit’s flesh its red color. These antioxidants may help prevent some types of cancer and keep your heart healthy. However, if you consume too much lycopene, you may have stomach problems. More than 30 mg daily can cause nausea, diarrhea, bloating, and stomach pain. But you can eat up to four cups of watermelon before you reach this point, which is good news.
Suppose you have hyperkalemia, which means you have too much potassium in your blood. In that case, you might also want to limit how much watermelon you eat daily. Bet you never knew these watermelon facts!
