Question

Litchi season is here and im craving them so bad. But my mom said too much heaty fruit is not good now. Thoda confused, can I have a few or better to avoid completely?

Litchi in moderation is fine, it's just seasonal fruit. Don't binge a whole basket though, it can spike sugar. A handful as a treat is perfectly okay.

Just watch the quantity, litchi is quite sweet. With my sugar levels I had to limit it a lot. If you've been checked for GD, ask your doctor how much is okay for you.

I waited all summer for litchi season honestly, loved them. Just had a few at a time and felt fine. Wash them well and enjoy in moderation.
