Pomegranate Seeds (1 piece)

Keep the pomegranate-seed portion modest and avoid eating it by itself; have it as part of a balanced meal or snack.

Pair the seeds with plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to add protein and slow absorption.

Add a small handful of nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pistachios alongside the seeds.

Combine the seeds with chia seeds or ground flaxseed in unsweetened yogurt.

Choose whole pomegranate seeds rather than pomegranate juice, and avoid sweetened pomegranate products.

Take a gentle 10–15 minute walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
