Watermelon, Carbohydrates, and the Zone Diet

Watermelon is on the Zone Diet's list of 'bad' foods because of its high carbohydrate content. However, watermelons are good for you due to their antioxidant lycopene content, same as in tomatoes. The Zone diet suggests that enjoy watermelon in moderation:

Cut a watermelon in cubes, then use them for a fruit salad made of peaches and plums that are OK in the Zone.

Make watermelon juice by mashing it with a spoon or fork; add to your seltzer.
