Weight Loss Tip #42: Eat watermelons to lose weight

Are you tired of trying to lose weight? One of the reasons could be that you fail to stay hydrated enough, in which case you need to drink more water. Failing that, you can also eat foods with high water content like watermelons.  The fruit contains around 90% water, so even if you consume it in large quantities, there’s not much to worry about gaining weight. A 100-gram serving of watermelon gives you just 30 calories that gives you a satiated feeling. Also, watermelon is a rich source of amino acids called arginine which are known to melt up to 60% of your belly fat.

 How to eat watermelons:

 1) Add some spices such as black pepper to a plate full of watermelons to improve its taste quotient. Also, black pepper is pretty helpful in initiating the calorie burning process in the body.

 2) You may even blend the fruit and devour its fresh juice.

While eating the fruit will definitely help, the real trick lies in reducing calorie intake and burning more calories through proper exercise.
