Of all the things you could gorge on, this is probably one of the most benign. It's extremely hydrating and pretty low calorie. As long as you don't dump, it's fine.

I am a huge fan of watermelon juice.

I doubt it. Low calorie, really really high in water, lots of fiber . . . . be careful of sugars, though. There's not a lot of nutrition in it, but there are certainly worse things you could eat.

I love it too! I just mix it with other fruits so that I get a variety. I eat a 2 inch sq at a time with a small amount of cantaloupe, love it! Bing cherries are really good right now too!

I love summer fruits. Cherries, berries and melons.

and MAN are they good this year! I have not had one batch of tasteless or bitter fruit, everything I have gotten this year has been off the charts, the blueberries and cherries especially!

Yes, they have been phenomenal. I'm having a wonderful yogurt parfait with strawberries, blackberries and raspberries in a little while, when my appetite wakes up.

Corn's also been really good this year, I like to roast it in the oven. Wish I had Silver Queen but I've never seen it outside the NY/NJ metro.

Are you kidding?? I survived on watermelon throughout my entire pregnancy. Often, it was the only thing I COULD eat!

Enjoy the watermelon! I think I'll have some myself.

Cheers!

I too love the watermellon!! My girlfriend who had surgery the same day I did got yelled at by our nurse for having 3 strawberries. Nurse. doesnt want us to have any fruit, says it will make us crave sugar. WHATEVER !! Aren't we suppose to have some fruit in our diets?
