Is Watermelon bad?!

I think nutrition has to be presented carefully, but I do think it should be part of schooling from early on even. As the parent of a kiddo who had to recover from an ED, too much "good food vs. bad food" messaging can really be a humdinger for those types of kids. The real deal information about nutrition and such is really missing from education, though.

I dunno about you but my watermelon was exiled from its family and chopped into little pieces.
Stuck into a tiny plastic prison in the refrigerated section.

Get this...It was such a bad watermelon they had him set up right in front of his whole watermelon family!!! The torture! Can you believe that?! He must have done something very naughty. For shame...bad, bad watermelon.

I put him out of his misery.

Here - just refer back to this every time you have a question about whether a food is bad for you:

My husband thinks it’s bad, but I like it. If you don’t like it on first try, cut a small whole into it and insert a bottle of vodka. I guarantee you’ll like it by the end of that.

Natural good generally isn't bad/good, right? There's just a time/place for everything.

Aim for high glycemic index foods (minimizing fiber, protein, and fat) 30-40 minutes before moderate/intense cardio or strength training. Otherwise, avoid them like the plague! High protein, high fiber, low glycemic index is the way to go.

I struggle with cravings too. Usually sweet, so I always have 77-88% dark chocolate at home. Usually that cures it. If I want a sweet drink, I'll add some kombucha to sparkling water. A lot of this is figuring out what you need, vs. what you want, and finding the sweet spot that satisfies them both.

Also might want to look into "glycemic load."

Did it smell bad or taste off? If not it was not bad, probably quite good in fact.
