Grapes (1 Grape, Seedless) and Watermelon (1 Cup, Diced)

Keep the fruit portion modest and avoid returning for a second serving; pre-portion it into a small bowl rather than eating from a large container.

Have it after a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach, and eat protein- and fiber-rich foods first.

Pair the serving with plain Greek yogurt, a small handful of almonds, or chia seeds to slow absorption.

Choose one fruit at a time rather than combining multiple sweet fruits in the same snack.

Avoid fruit juice, dried fruit, sweetened yogurt, or other added sugars alongside it.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
