Warning: Mixing Diets: This recipe is low in fat and high in carbohydrates from the fruit. While enjoyable in moderation, consuming excessive amounts of sugary foods, especially when combined with a sedentary lifestyle, can contribute to *de novo lipogenesis*, where your body converts excess carbohydrates into fat, potentially leading to weight gain. Keep it on the lighter side!

Expert Tips

For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season watermelon and strawberries. To prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom, let the gelatin mixture partially set before adding the fruit. For weight loss, this dessert is a great way to manage cravings. Try having it after a high-protein meal to support satiety longer.

Macros Breakdown
