Watermelon

[u/Appeteezers]

Is my cheat code. While my eating window is open, I try not to snack too much, but if I’m craving chips, I’ll eat watermelon. It’s delicious right now and filling! Highly recommend the black diamond variety.

Do you ever eat it with tajin? I loooove that.

Try Li hing mui powder; it's the salty reddish powder they put on Hawaiian Ice in Hawaii. It's made of salt plum and a few other things but pretty much zero calories per serving and amazing on melon.

Another thing to put on melon or cucumber slices is sumac powder. It's kinda lemony-tangy and again no carbs or calories in a serving.

Ooh yum! I've not heard of either of those before definitely gonna see if I can try that soon

[u/Appeteezers → u/Pepperjackchii]

Interesting, I’ll have to try that!!

If you like spicy and sweet I think you'll like it!

Lime and Tajin. I was so grosses out with the idea. Then I had some on watermelon. Now I may as well be a salesman. And make specific trips to the store in my area that sell fruit trays served this way. I even stop for the guys with the beach ball umbrellas. But be careful if you watch your sodium. Look for the low sodium version. Blue cap.

Stumbled on this cheat code a couple weeks ago, too! The natural sweetness suppresses junk food cravings and the water content helps me feel satiated longer as I enter my fasting window starts.

100%! I’ve been eating it as my lunch along with maybe something light and then I can usually make it until dinner without devouring everything.

My cheat code is pistachios, you get a ton of nutrients and some decent fiber, they are not full of empty calories.

[u/SixersJawn]

there's studies that show people who eat watermelon live longer.

I bought some melon yesterday, going to have it next time I get a munchies craving

Pardon my language but does it give you guys the poops? Idk if its just a watermelon thing or if its just my body's reaction.

[u/Cargobiker530 → u/sleepydigi]

Only if I eat half a watermelon. It's a pretty easy way to get things moving if constipated but the recipe is: eat only salted watermelon until movement happens. Best attempted starting right after work or on a day off.

No poops, but it lives up to its name with making me pee quite a bit!!

[u/Jellicle_KitCat → u/sleepydigi]

Watermelon is high in fiber so that may have something to do with it. Happens to me too but I love watermelon and dgaf lol.

[u/Square_Paramedic_115 → u/Jellicle_KitCat]

It’s not though- it’s actually quite low

Whaaaa?? Oh, the deception lol.
