"Watermelon does not contain enough fat, protein, carbohydrates, nor vitamins and minerals to meet the needs of the human body." And, of course, this is an extremely restrictive diet, which nutritionists generally don't recommend as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Read More »Netflix's hit docu-series Cheer is officially streaming for a second season, and several of the show's breakout stars are back again. One is Gabi Butler, who decided to rejoin to Navarro College's award-winning cheerleading team after the first few episodes had been filmed. One scene, in particular, shows Butler's mom cutting up a bunch of watermelon, as the cheerleader explains that she's going on a "watermelon diet" along with teammate Brooke Morosca for a few days as a sort of "cleanse." Butler's mom cautions that she should be eating plenty of food, given how demanding her workouts are, only to be assured that the watermelon diet is taking place during days when the team is just learning choreography — i.e. not doing anything overly strenuous. ( Other than a brief clip of Morosca eating watermelon at practice, that's about all that's heard of the watermelon diet in this season — but plenty of people on social media, understandably, have questions. Butler was asked to explain the watermelon diet during a recent interview with Extra, and she shared a little more insight on why, exactly, she decided this was a good idea. "You're not actually fasting, but you're getting something in your stomach, so you're not just not having anything," she told Extra. "It actually is very good for you and removing all that toxic stuff. What watermelon does is it basically clears everything because it is mostly water." Butler also said that she tends to do the watermelon diet "every once in a while when I feel like I've just been eating really bad." Okay, but…what? And is there any way this sort of watermelon diet could be healthy? Nutritionists break it down.

"Watermelon is also really hydrating," says Cording. "It's a great way to help you meet your fluid needs." As such, people will likely lose weight on the watermelon diet without being overly hungry because of the fruit's fiber and water content, says Rose. (P.S.

Read More »There are a few things that can go wrong with the watermelon diet. The first is that you're unlikely to keep off any weight that you lose, says Cording. "There's no educational component, so people don't learn about healthy eating patterns," she says. "Usually, when a person goes back to their eating habits, they're just going to gain the weight back. It doesn't set you up for sustainable weight maintenance." Sticking with one food (aka a mono diet) with minimal calories can lead to blood sugar and blood pressure drops, especially in people with diabetes or who have blood pressure issues, says Dr. Li. "It can be life-threatening if your blood pressure goes too low or your blood sugar goes crazy," she says. (See: Why You Should Give Up Restrictive Dieting Once and for All) Even people with no underlying health conditions could experience side effects like fatigue, dizziness, lethargy, nausea, and headaches (from the lack of calories), along with stomach issues from all that fruit, says Gans. Not to mention — even though Butler was specific about doing this diet during a time when their cheer practices were less strenuous than normal — watermelon alone likely can't provide all the nutrients you need to fuel your body during exercise. If you feel like your diet hasn't been great lately and are feeling a call to "cleanse," Cording suggests taking a good look at where you're falling short of your healthy eating goals — and then make changes related to that. "If you notice you're not eating enough vegetables, add some spinach to your plate or work in more vegetables to every meal," she says. "If you've been eating a ton of sugar and carbs, trying swapping in protein at every meal to help you feel more satisfied." In general, take a pass on any extreme weight loss methods such as the watermelon diet. "There is not easy way out with weight loss," says Dr. Li. "You have to make lasting, sustainable changes."
