High Carb meals Make me sleepy.

Hi Guys,

For the last 2 months I have been experiencing the weirdest thing... After I eat a meal that is high in carbs, I feel dead, drained and as if I can just fall asleep. I always used to eat very low amounts of carbs but now following some dieting advice found here I raised my carb intake. But since this I just have no energy, start yawning, and feel drowsy for an hour after a meal.

What the heck is happening to me? My boss is on my case saying I need to sleep more, but I sleep like 9 hours a night...!!!

haha serotonin from all the carbs make you like that. Can also be your digestive system

High carbs = high insulin relase making blood sugar levels to drop making u tired,take some chromium to level out blood sugar levels.are u quite over weight big les?

I am overweight, as I have mention before and am working very hard to cut it... Thats why im following the diet advice I read here. I used to cut out all carbs and eat less than 100 carbs a day often less than 50grams a day. So now after seeing the importance of having carbs I added it. But ey its killing me these insulin spikes which I have never had!

add in chromium and alpha lipolic acid,should keep your blood sugar levels constant.

DJ some say you should eat 1/2 a grapefruit or drink some grapefruit juice right after which will help. This true or broscience?

DJ is right add chromium

Ok so I understand high carb = high insulin. But what about if it a low gi index like oats or brown rice? Does say a 150g carbs (+- 300g Oats) have a big response on the insulin level?
