Cantaloupe=weight loss/gain?

Question

Okay I eat like one melon a day no joke...Ive actually read before that people use cantaloupe for anorexia for weight gain?! Im confused here. I dont want to gain. Is there a safer fruit...like papaya?

Answer 1

melons are VERY hearty fruits, with a high sugar & vitamin content, so yeah, eating lots can go to weight gain.  the only exception is watermelon, since it has much less content, and more water.

Answer 2

Cantaloupes are very nutritious and NOT fattening.  Even a whole cantaloupe a day would not cause you to gain weight.  Papaya can act as a laxative, and if you ate a whole papaya each day, you'd be spending an awful lot of time in the bathroom!  (not terribly comfortable:)  ...  Actually, cantaloupe is probably one of the LOWER calorie fruits, since it isn't as sweet as something like grapes or watermelon.....

Answer 3

Oh my gosh.

You will not gain weight by eating melons, I promise.

Forget calorie counting- learn to love yourself!

Oh and a balanced, varied diet is best for maintaining a healthy weight. If you want to be healthy, remember- fruits are your friend. :-)
