Is melon juice really that good?<br \/>\nlow-calorie, so we are allowed to take it, for those who want to lose weight? Is melon low carb? Is melon good for those who are<br \/>\nwanting to gain muscle mass or is it better for those who want to lose weight? Stay with me until the end and you will love it<br \/>\nthese tips. Before giving you more tips on how to introduce<br \/>\nmelon in your diet, the best way to get all the benefits and not gain weight<br \/>\nso much with him, enjoy, if you are new here, subscribe to the channel, activate the bell<br \/>\nbecause there is a new video here every day and I know you won&#039;t want to miss it. Let&#039;s start this video, since it is<br \/>\na video about gaining or losing weight, talking about the nutritional information of melon,<br \/>\nbecause I think it&#039;s a good starting point for us to begin our considerations<br \/>\nabout melon. In 100 grams of melon, we have more,<br \/>\nbecause like, melon, right people, there are several different melons: there is the yellow melon,<br \/>\nthere&#039;s that frog skin melon, there are several melons, orange melon, so, many of them<br \/>\nhave a certain difference in nutritional information, that&#039;s why I&#039;m talking<br \/>\nin more or less 100 grams, we have more or less 35 calories, thirty and a bit<br \/>\ncalories per 100 grams of melon, that is, it is not a very caloric food, because<br \/>\nin 100 grams of food we have 30 or so calories. So, it started out being a bit interesting. Of protein, we have almost 1 gram. Of fat, practically none. Of carbohydrates, around 8 grams in that<br \/>\nportion. And fiber, almost 1 gram. So, we can already see that the amount<br \/>\nof fiber, although it has a little, it is little, isn&#039;t it, comparatively, it has little fiber,<br \/>\nno protein, no fat, so its glycemic index will be higher,<br \/>\nbut the amount of carbohydrates in it is not that great, so the glycemic load<br \/>\nhis is medium to low, I&#039;ll explain more about that later. Now, the melon is definitely not low<br \/>\ncarb. So if you are doing low carb, eating<br \/>\n100 grams of melon cannot be, should not be interesting to you. \u201cAh Patricia, but if I take a slice<br \/>\nsuper fine, chop and mix with something else, with chia, right, with a little kefir,<br \/>\nis it an interesting option? It could be a way for you to introduce your<br \/>\nmelon in a low carb diet. As I always say, some foods are not<br \/>\nare low carb, as is the case with melon, for example. But if you eat a small amount<br \/>\nand improve its glycemic index, adding other interesting foods, you can<br \/>\nconsume, yes, even on a low carb diet. Therefore, depending on the low carb line<br \/>\nthat you are following, maybe you can put 50 grams or even less, a little bit,<br \/>\nof melon mixed with something else, that I didn&#039;t even mention, with some chia, with kefir,<br \/>\nanyway, with coconut milk, right, beat, mix, suddenly make a different dessert,<br \/>\nbecause that way, you will have 4 grams of carbohydrate in 50 grams. Of net carbohydrate, discounting<br \/>\nfiber, 3 and a half, which is really little. And it&#039;s important, when you do low carb,<br \/>\nThis is something I always like to talk about, that we have a variety of foods<br \/>\nto get all the vitamins and minerals we need, antioxidants, everything. So yes, maybe you can put<br \/>\na smaller portion of melon, even on a low carb diet. Now, if you are reeducating yourself<br \/>\nfood, is melon an interesting fruit option, right? Well, in terms of calories, I&#039;ve already told you, it<br \/>\nhas around 30 or so calories per 100 grams, so if we compare<br \/>\nwith a banana, with a mango, with an avocado, with coconut, it has much less calories. So yes, if you ask this question of<br \/>\ncalorie counting, it can be an interesting fruit for you to put. Especially for you, suddenly, to add<br \/>\nin a fruit salad, because then you will mix more caloric fruits with the melon,<br \/>\nwhich has fewer calories, and the overall mix of your fruit salad will be interesting. Now, \u201cah Patricia, what about melon juice?\u201d Many people say: \u201coh, I love drinking<br \/>\na little melon juice.\u201d Because some people think that melon juice<br \/>\nmelon, watermelon juice is zero calories, or \u201coh, super little, almost like water.\u201d But that\u2019s not true, people, especially<br \/>\nbecause melon is a fruit that is naturally very moist, right, it has a<br \/>\nvery large water, it has a large concentration of water in its pulp. So, many people actually opt for<br \/>\nuse the melon as juice. And then they say: \u201cah, it\u2019s not a problem because<br \/>\nI didn&#039;t sweeten it, it&#039;s super sweet.\u201d It starts from there, you don&#039;t even need to sweeten it<br \/>\nbecause melon juice is really sweet, some still insist on sweetening the juice, but<br \/>\nyou really don&#039;t need to. But anyway, drinking the juice is a<br \/>\na little complicated for those who want to lose weight, because you actually, many<br \/>\nSometimes you will need more than 2 slices of melon to make a glass of juice. Some people use it in a juicer, which ends up<br \/>\ncompletely removing all fiber, some people even strain the juices, removing the fiber,<br \/>\nin the same way, and ends up increasing its glycemic index even more, so this does not<br \/>\nis very interesting. The difference in the glycemic index, which I<br \/>\nI said, for the glycemic load, is that the glycemic index takes into account the speed<br \/>\nof food absorption, per 100 grams of it. And the glycemic load is more related<br \/>\nthe 1 serving that you would consume. So, normally people will not consume<br \/>\n100 grams of melon often consume a little less, it depends on the quantity<br \/>\nyou used to measure the glycemic load. But, the glycemic load of melon is not<br \/>\nso high, because it has a lot of water as I also said, so it ends up being a<br \/>\ninteresting option because it will not alter blood glucose levels that much, causing an insulin spike<br \/>\nvery high. Unless you make melon juice,<br \/>\nstrain, as I just said, or you are one of those people who grab the melon,<br \/>\nopen it, cut it into squares, put it in a jar, sit in front of the TV and eat the whole jar of<br \/>\nmelon, you have to be very careful with that. Still talking a little about this issue<br \/>\nas for how much to eat, we have to say that melon is super sweet, it looks like water<br \/>\npure, if you have already stored it in the fridge, it is cold, delicious in the summer,<br \/>\nmainly, and it&#039;s kind of like a banana, right, because you chew it twice<br \/>\nand swallow the melon, it is different from a pear, from an apple, which are more<br \/>\nhard, which have a shell, which takes longer to chew, so the signal ends up<br \/>\nof satiety takes longer to reach the brain, right, it arrives because you, in fact<br \/>\nit reaches the brain because you spent more time chewing, so there was time for<br \/>\nsignal reaches the brain. So sometimes people end up eating<br \/>\nmuch more melon than they should, so once again, be careful with the quantity. Just because it is low in calories, doesn&#039;t mean you<br \/>\ncan consume as much as you want. An interesting way for you to consume<br \/>\nmelon is you, precisely, counting that portion you want, 50, 100 grams<br \/>\nof it, a slice, a thin slice, a little slice, 2 fingers, a little bit<br \/>\nthicker, and then you put it in the green juice, it&#039;s a great option too, because<br \/>\nthen, as it is super sweet, and it already has a lot of water on its own, you can beat it with<br \/>\nmore water, no problem at all, but beating with the vegetables, with some greens,<br \/>\nyou will be able to add even more fiber to this juice, always remember to never strain it,<br \/>\nand neutralize a little the flavor of those vegetables, which people sometimes complain about, right, juice<br \/>\ngreen. So, melon, because it is super sweet and super<br \/>\nwatery, it&#039;s a good vehicle, it&#039;s a good fruit for you to add to your green juice<br \/>\ntoo. Now if you are looking to gain mass<br \/>\nmuscular and thinks: \u201cOh Patricia, would it be cool to eat melon in my<br \/>\npost-workout?\u201d Because you said, right, that he has this<br \/>\nquantity, that it is not low carb, so you must be thinking that it, right, can<br \/>\nbe an interesting fruit to build after training. For those who want to gain muscle mass,<br \/>\nmelon is not one of the best fruits for you to consume, precisely because it is little<br \/>\ncaloric, and it has 8 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams, so it&#039;s not even, like, with<br \/>\nlots of carbohydrates. An interesting option if you want to consume<br \/>\nmelon, post-workout is really a good option. You can eat melon for dessert, if<br \/>\nyou train and after training, you have lunch, for example, along with the rest of your food,<br \/>\nor if you make a sandwich, in that case you can drink the melon juice because you<br \/>\nyou will put about 2 slices. Do not strain, in the same way, so you can get<br \/>\nhave the benefits of fiber and everything else, even for intestinal transit, but then, it can<br \/>\nIt would be interesting for you to consume the melon at this time, but always remembering that you<br \/>\nyou will have to supplement with something else because, probably, the amount of carbohydrate<br \/>\nof melon will be little for your post-workout shake, if you simply want to beat the<br \/>\nmelon with whey, for example, you may need to add honey or some other<br \/>\ncarbohydrate supplement, to be able to reach the total amount of high carbohydrate<br \/>\nglycemic index after training, is it good?
