Fruits with lower carbs are a great choice. Try to stick to berries, apples, melons and grapefruits.

Fruit is healthy so enjoy, but don’t forget to include them in your carb count for the day!

We all know we have to drink water. We disguise it with lemons, limes, cucumbers, tea bags and coffee. The more we drink, the better it is.

But remember, it’s summertime. Take advantage of the fruits that have high water content, such as berries and melons. Add them to your diet…just watch the carbs.

A refreshing treat is to put one cup of watermelon in a blender with a cup of ice and blend. You just cut the carbs in half! To make it thicker, add a cup of fat free greek yogurt….9 carbs and n0 fat.

There are so many different variations you can make, let me know what you come up with!
