Who said it was a no no. After 6 weeks I was released to eat whatever I could tolerate.

It is not a no no for me. In fact I eat it all the time!

I didn't attempt it until soft foods and had no issues with it.

I asked the same thing- My nut said it may be hard to digest because it is so fibrous. I am cleared for all foods yet, but I am still staying away from the fibrous foods (kind of scared!)

Did not think it was a no-no if you're cleared for fruits. Most fruit is no protein and high sugar/carb content per serving so maybe that's the thought behind it?

Watermelon is really high on the glycemic index for fruits meaning it has the most sugars per serving. For those of us following a stricter primal or paleo diet sugars are reduced. I too love watermelon but now eat it very sparingly.

Not a no no on is on my list, have not had any yet..... but doesn't mean I won't!

It's not very fibrous. I believe pineapple and even apple have higher fiber. Watermelon is high in sugar just like grapes so I avoid them.

I eat watermelon almost everyday. It's a great way to stay hydrated in the heat of summer. It's also low in calories and I find myself eating about 100 cals worth of it and that's more than enough.

It's one of my fav fruits & I thanksfully have no digestion issues with it. I also continue to lose when I incorporate it into my weekly plan. I've found that the darker pink...the sweeter....YUMMY!!!!!
