Need a healthy dose of vitamins? Melon. Need a quick lift that is low in fat and calories? Melon. Need a great soup or drink? Melon. What about a natural bowl? Melon.
Calcium, Vitamin C, Iron, Potassium - just a few of the essential vitamins packed inside of melons. Just take a gander at how low melons are in calories:
1 cup of Cantaloupe contains
about 53 calories.
1 cup of Watermelon contains
about 46 calories.
1 cup of Honeydew
melon contains
about 61 calories.
1 cup of Casaba
melon contains about 48 calories.
With the aid of a kitchen tool (or a pair of clean hands) delicious low calorie soups and specialty drinks can be created. Hull out a melon, and you've got the perfect natural bowl for that healthy fruit salad - and the witty set-up also makes a dandy conversation piece.
Melon is also fab in releasing water retention in the body due to high sodium intake. Melon is also filling. With all these healthy elements surrounding melon, it makes the perfect candidate for The Melon Diet, a one-day diet from Diet Bites totally about 1,350 calories. Always get your doctor's approval before going on any diet plan.
