Notes
Yes, watermelon is a higher glycemic fruit, so your mileage may vary in eating it. But I find by combining watermelon with lower carb veggies like cucumber and onions, that it gives you “watermelon satisfaction” and still keeps carbs at an acceptable level. One serving of watermelon feta salad comes in at only 12g net carbohydrate and combined with a lovely serving of protein, is a complete meal!
