I know I get shaky if I have a blood sugar crash, so maybe that's why she suggested more, smaller meals.

What I do to keep my blood sugar steady, since I exercise, is to have three meals, and two smaller snacks, one mid morning, and one mid afternoon. In the morning I have cheese and some sweet potato, and in the afternoon, I have hummus and vegetables and cheese if I am not exercising after work, and a chicken burger and brown rice if I am exercising after work.

: Hi Allison. I am not positive why my

: some exercise every day and not to
: drink caffeine(which I have been
: unable to do but I hope to try
: again when I am on step 7 unless I

: help her. It is hereditary. Even

: question of anxiety but it does
: get worse during times of stress.
