19. An Ill-Informed Coworker
Reddit user StephanieQ312 says, “I was once told that Watermelons are going to cause me diabetes and liver failure. The person who started this was drinking soda. I have no idea where they got this information. This was a previous coworker who might have been insane. I didn’t ask for any diet advice either. It was just thrown at me as I ate a serving-size watermelon slice at lunch. The conversation was one-sided of her talking to me about this for at least 5 minutes. It was already an awful job, so she managed to ruin my only enjoyment of the day.”
This is one of those silly tips. Watermelons are safe to eat. They are rich in amino acids that help to circulate blood through the body. Also rich in lycopene, watermelons are great for heart health. This Reddit user was given bad advice when she didn’t ask for it. All she was trying to do was enjoy her lunch peacefully when a coworker decided to chime in. People have their ideas on foods and dieting choices, and it’s sometimes difficult to convince them otherwise. Keep reading for more strange dieting tips people swear by. You won’t believe what some of these people think.
