2. go with Dash rather than WW.

Weight watchers lets you eat anything as long as you track amounts. Problem with that is you can eat sugar and refined carbs which don't fill you up, but actually make you hungrier. Dash is more about good quality foods--low in sugars and refined carbs, but you can still have carbs: fruits, vegetables, dairy, whole grains. Stuff that's good for you and fills you up. Dash you can do yourself and Weight Watchers is $$$$!

The biggest thing to remember is that sugar will make you hungrier. Causes your body to store fat rather than burn calories, and the insulin blocks leptin, the fullness hormone.

Especially when you are pre-diabetic, because you will have some insulin resistance. This means you will have more insulin circulating in your system when you eat carbs. Don't go to zero carbs, go to good carbs, things like whole grains, vegetables and fruits, all of which have fiber and which will slow down the blood sugar rises and insulin response.

So look at Dash, learn what's good to eat, watch the amounts a bit, get some exercise (which also helps clear sugar out of your blood), and good luck!

Let food be your medicine!
