Matzah Made Me Sleepy Again

Had a small piece of matzah, only about a quarter of a piece. Ate it in the late afternoon. Had not eaten much all day. Ate it plain.

Was going to have it with peanut butter and jelly, but wanted to see what would happen. Fifteen minutes later, I was in bed, passed out. Slept for an hour and a half.

Potatoes Are Bad

Already knew potatoes are high glycemic.

Had a good lunch, salmon, broccoli, vegetables and lots of potatoes. After eating, but still sitting at the table reading, started getting sleepy.

The culprit has to be the potatoes. Happened fast. This happened a couple of days ago too.

The potatoes have about the fastest reaction. Other high glycemic foods can take a half hour to an hour for a sleepy response.

Felt Energized, Ate and then Sleepy

Was energized today before eating lunch. Am convinced diet is the reason. Sleeping well, alert, feel good. Had a banana and an almond cookie.

The cookie was risky, but I was going out, so thought the movement would hold off the cookie. Was fine.

Got home. Ate chicken strips (long chicken nuggets), green salad with humus, spoonful of organic peanut butter and lentil soup with added rolled oats and wheat germ.

After eating, while still at the table, was reading, and got cloudy headed and sleepy. What caused it?

As soon as I stood up and started moving, felt clearer.

As I sit at the computer and write, I feel a little sleepy.

Lost the Battle and Had to Lie Down

Lost the battle against the sugar.

After a while, got tired interupting my work with exercise. Could not concentrate. Had to lie down. Lost two hours.

Back at work now and feel alert.

White Rice, Juice or Both Made Me Sleepy

Had the white rice and lentils for lunch today. Also had juice. Both white rice and juice are pure sugar.

Was alert and energized before eating.

Soon after eating, started feeling cloudy headed and sleepy.

What Food Stole My Brain Today?

Was sharply alert and energetically productive.

Had a small bowl of barley soup and a vegetable medley over white rice with red lentils for an early lunch. Was still humming along.

Around 2:30 toasted a piece of organic, whole grain bread and thickly spread smuckers organic roasted peanut butter and blackberry jelly.

Picked up my niece from school.

Got in another hour or so of work and then the mind disappeared. Could not focus. Lied down and took a fitful nap for an hour and a half.

One or more of the items I ate was the culprit. I am on the case.
