Watermelon

Watermelon is now appearing in my local deli and fruit shop. I just have to manage how much I eat. Love the stuff could eat kilos of it in one go.

I adore watermelon too. That’s going to be my next experiment, how much I can have without injecting insulin. It’s likely to take quite a bit of experimenting

I have found I can cope with melon as an 80g portion. I daren't buy whole melons because how do you stop at 80g?! 😱

It’s easy to work out. Watermelon is 95% water, so for fruit it’s surprisingly low carb. 7g of carbs in each 100g of fruit. A slice is at least twice that, but still nothing to frighten the horses.

I assume you are not referring to Watermelons when you say that?

I get mini watermelons. Not only do they look cute they are a bit easier to get through than a giant one.
They taste fantastic in a salad with feta and mint with a simple vinaigrette dressing.
As said, watermelon are not too high in carbs and the fat from the feta can slow down the absorption.
