Start your diet with a drink of watermelon (for 1 liter of beverage is required 350 g of watermelon pulp, 150 g granulated sugar, lemon juice, 50 g of dry white wine, 600 g water; lemon juice and sugar are dissolved in hot distilled water, then brought to boiling; cool the mixture, then add into small cubes the watermelon and leave it for 30-40 minutes; then add the wine). And if on the second day you do not feel weight in your stomach or other side effects – you can confidently follow the five-day diet.

For 5 days you can usually lose no more than 3 kg. After you finish the diet it will not be bad if you include watermelon in your menu for another week or two. Here is an example menu for this period:
