Hi Rachel
What are you putting in your shake? I had to play around with the ingredients in mine for a while before I found a combination that worked for me and held me long enough.

The program is definitely the right direction to go in if you are pre-diabetic. The program will work, but it's not an overnight cure for anything. It's more like a slow and steady improvement, and sometimes you might need to do some experimenting along the way to find out what works best for you, like playing with your shake ingredients.

: I just learned I am probably a
: pre-diabetic. Other changes
: happening as well. I'm still
: hoping this program will work if I
: stick with it long enough. In the
: meantime, I still experience
: fatigue. And I get really hungry.
: Timing is an issue. I don't want
: to eat every 4 hrs..
: I am exercising. Nothing strenuous,
: just 30min walking daily and 2-3
: times per week, 30 min biking. And
: I'm not pushing it, just continual
: movement really, but I can tell a
: difference. I read in one of the
: books, that if you exercise you
: need snacks. But I wonder if I'm
: getting enough "browns"?
: FYI- I'm still working on breakfast.
: I use the protein shake often for
: breakfast,, but I'm hungry 3 hours
: later. If I eat a snack (is cheese
: toast ok), it triggers a serious
: hunger and spoils my appetite for
: lunch. Perhaps I should eat by the
: clock, with only measured amounts.
: Every time I blog, it seems I have SO
: many issues. I'm really a mess.
: Maybe it would help to blog more
: regularly so I stay more aware.

: Thanks for any input anyone may have.

: Still a beginner, but determined to
: press on.
