bread, if i eat it i fall asleep

[Zest for Life]

When I eat bread an hour later I'm so tired and can't stay awake. Does this happen to anyone else?
I know alot of us feel bloated, I get that too but seriously makes me so tired.
Surely that can't be right?!

I rarely have it, when I do it's toast. Even wholemeal or granery bread makes me sleepy.

Good ol' carbohydrate crash.

Hm. Youve just made me realise that this is what happens to me, sometimes after i eat i get really tired... but ive just realised it is only after ive eaten bread... x

This is exactly why a low carb diet works for me. I used to get really sleepy and slow but now I am full of energy all the time.

i think i may have to look at eating less carbs and see if i notice a difference

Yup it happens to me too, so I avoid bread and get my carbs from other sources, like wholegrain cereals.
