Why don't you feel full when eating watermelon?

Why do you feel full after eating more than one bowl of rice, but rarely feel full after eating more watermelon? Even if I was full, I was still excited when I ate watermelon, and I ate a lot of pieces. Is there any secret factor in watermelon that can induce people's appetite?

There are factors that deceive appetite, but it is no secret. Watermelon is different from apples, its sweetness mainly comes from fructose. How can you know it's the sweetness of fructose? It's simple. Fructose is sweet, cool and refreshing, and has the characteristics of liking cooling. In other words, the lower the temperature, the greater the sweetness of fructose, which is the main reason why it is loved by various cool drinks. Research has long found that although fructose does not significantly increase blood sugar, it also bypasses the mechanism of appetite control. In other words, drinking glucose water and white sugar water will make people full, but drinking fructose-containing beverages will not feel full. Since watermelon contains a lot of fructose, it also has the property of making people feel less full. Therefore, it is difficult for people to control their amount of food when eating watermelon, just as it is difficult to stop drinking a large bottle of cola.

Eating too much watermelon will make you fat

Although watermelon is a low-fat fruit, we cannot ignore its sugar and calories. Generally, 500 grams of watermelon is equivalent to the calories of a bowl of rice. In addition, watermelon cannot stop eating in summer, so it can easily cause weight gain.

What is the way to eat watermelon without getting fat?

Under normal circumstances, you only need to eat two or three pieces of watermelon a day, and you don't need to eat several kilograms at a time. At this time, it plays the role of a fruit. In the daily diet, various foods have their own shares. For example, grain costs roughly half to eight taels, fish 1-2 taels, vegetables about one catty, and fruits more than half a catty...

If you really want to eat more watermelons, you have to occupy a share of other types of food. For example, because watermelon brings sugar, and the metabolism of sugar and starch in the body is similar, it is necessary to reduce some staple foods to make up for it. However, watermelon contains less protein and B vitamins than staple foods, so you need to add more milk, eggs or fish to make up for it. In this way, the nutritional balance can be maintained unchanged.

Another plan is to increase exercise and consume the extra bowl of sugar you eat. Because of the extreme heat in summer, people often lack the physical ability to sweat and exercise outdoors, or they are worried about sweating too much and causing heat stroke. Therefore, when temperatures are as high as 35 ° C, people are not encouraged to go out for long periods of exercise unless it is cooler in the morning and evening, or if they are confident in their physical fitness.

If you don't choose exercise, you should still avoid eating too much fruit after meals, because doing so will only gain weight. This kind of weight gain is definitely not about increasing muscles. The upper body is complete fat.
