[Diabetes-Talk] Eating, and remaining full

[d m gina]

Keep up the good work,
really proud of you.
I am a bread lady,
I get the bread that making a sandwich with it, is like one slice of 
regular bread.
Really good, and it has grains in it.

> and always vegetables. We just naturally cook our meals with various colors

> I still feel pretty full, believe it or not.


> Well, thank you again. I appreciate it.
