Matty Sánchez, weight loss expert: "Watermelon is a killer food for fat loss; it's full of water and fiber."

With more than a million followers on social media and a loyal community that consults him daily about healthy habits, Matty Sánchez has already established himself as one of the most influential voices on nutrition and weight loss on TikTok. His latest video, which has already racked up thousands of views, has focused on a fruit that, according to him, should become summer's best friend: watermelon.

"It has 30 calories per 100 grams and it's incredibly filling," says Sánchez while holding a kilo of watermelon up to the camera. According to his calculations, consuming that amount would amount to just 300 calories, something he considers "ridiculous" compared to other foods of smaller volume and greater caloric density. He concludes with a quote that has caused a stir among his followers. "Watermelon is an amazing food for losing fat; it's full of water and fiber," he asserts.

Watermelon , the star fruit of the warmer months, contains 92% water and barely any simple sugars, making it an excellent option for hydrating without adding excess calories to your diet. For Matty , this makes it not only ideal for cooling off, but also for satisfying your appetite without feeling guilty . "It's very filling and helps you a lot in your weight and fat loss process ," he explains in the video.

But his defense isn't limited to numbers. The expert also highlights its versatility in the kitchen and its low cost . "It's cheap, you can find it in any supermarket, and you can combine it however you want: alone, with yogurt, or in a salad," he says. In this way, Sánchez tries to break the myth that eating healthy is expensive or boring , an idea he combats daily with simple recipes and practical advice.

Matty's videos

This isn't the first time Matty Sánchez has turned a common food into a viral trend . He's already done it with oats, chickpeas, and zucchini, and now watermelon is the star of his summer crusade against obesity. His strategy is simple: make nutritional knowledge accessible through direct messages .

In just one minute, Matty turns a dietary recommendation into a motivational message that inspires thousands of people to rethink what they put on their plates. And in summer, when temptations abound, his recipe is clear: choose seasonal fruits and avoid ultra-processed foods .

Watermelon, in addition to being hydrating and filling, contains lycopene , an antioxidant also found in tomatoes and linked to benefits for cardiovascular health and skin. Although Matty doesn't get into technicalities in his video, many nutritionists endorse the message he conveys: fruit , far from causing weight gain , is essential for maintaining a balanced diet .

"Make friends with watermelon," she says at the end of the video with a smile. A phrase that not only sums up her philosophy, but has also been echoed in TikTok comments and duels as a motto for those who want to take care of themselves without complications .
