English Sweet Lime (1 Fruit)

Keep the serving small: start with half a medium English sweet lime, then check your glucose response over the next 2 hours.

Eat the fruit whole rather than juiced, blended, or dried; the intact pulp and fiber slow absorption.

Have it after or alongside a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach.

Pair it with protein and fat, such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, a small handful of almonds or walnuts, or cottage cheese.

Add a fiber-rich accompaniment such as chia seeds mixed into yogurt, rather than eating the fruit alone.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
