 Subject AM protean shake Hi Vincent! Generally this goods good. The changes I would make to reverse DM and prevent more insulin resistance include: 1. Sun warrior is ok. We like a combo of proteins such as one that contains protein not solely from brown rice such as a brown rice/chia/hemp mix. We carry a GREAT one which is a wonderful source of protein but it also has phytocnutrients to help heal a system devastated from the effects of imbalanced blood sugar.

Until you complete the program, abstain from ALL juice. It is a quick sugar and raises your blood glucose too quickly. WHile on the program we suggest taking out all juices... 3. Switch the peanut butter to 2 tablespoons raw almonds. Might be good to stay away from peanuts for now. 4. For greens- these are EXCELLENT: http://store.drhyman.com/Store/Show/SearchResults/406/PaleoGreens-Lemon-Lime 5. Dr Hyman would suggest NO banana while on the advanced plan. I think the berries are sufficient for now. However if you feel you need some more carbs ( if you feel shaky, lightheaded, or any other low blood sugar symptoms) than a small bit of banana is fine. Otherwise, try to only include the berries for now. 6. Make sure the almond milk is unsweetened. Sincerely, Lizzy Nutrition Coaching Department Ultrawellness Nutrition Coaching 11/26/2012 3:40 PM

PGX Daily I use this everyday, it makes you feel full and lowers the GI of foods

Manufacturer's Product Description

PGX Daily Singles granules provide all the benefits of this unique polysaccharide (fibre) blend, including blood sugar balancing and a feeling of fullness that lasts for hours. PGX goes beyond fibre. It is highly concentrated and works by absorbing water to provide a feeling of fullness and satisfaction that quickly curbs your appetite and cravings. Sprinkle unflavoured PGX Daily granules on your food. You will eat less, feel full and begin to get better control of your weight. 

These unflavoured PGX granules mix easily and dissolve into food and beverages. Simply sprinkle on cereal, soups, yogurt or salads without affecting the flavour or "just add water" for an incredibly convenient way to control appetite. 

PGX requires additional water to provide its full range of benefits. Always drink plenty of water when using any PGX product.

Contraindications:

•     PGX can slow the rate of absorption of medications, so it is recommended to take any oral medications 1 hour before PGX Daily Singles or 2 to 3 hours after.
•     Diabetics must monitor their blood sugar and adjust their medication accordingly as the PGX helps to control blood sugar and it may lessen the need for medications or insulin over time. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use.
