I felt like being bad today so I took my girl to Olive Garden for lunch. I ordered their lasagna as my meal. As soon as I was done eating my energy level dropped to ZERO. I was practically falling asleep at the table. I ordered a latte and a slice of mouse cake hoping the sugar and caffeine will keep me awake for the drive home. I barely made it. When I got in my house, I had to climb into bed and take a nap for an hour to re-charge. I haven't had "bad" food in a long time, and i have to say, I haven't felt tired after a meal for a long time too. Its amazing how what you eat affects your body.

    i agree. we been tight on grocery money and hubby started buying normal food. and after eating healthy and all, normal feels awful. i'm tired, forgetful, unaware, no energy, moody, and feel dirty inside. i'm ready to go back now. and after all this he is starting to agree. its def worth it to eat better.

    I feel like this after any high carb meal --- it usually makes me want to nap and skip the gym.
    Carbs = sugar so having more sugar wouldn't help at all.. I feel ya!

    It`s good to keep track of food that do that kind of thing to you. Know thyself, as Socrates used to say.

    Pasta gives me tummy ache :(. And fatty food makes me feel fat, even though it is psychological!

    Sometimes I try to eat foods that I used to LOVE just because I don't want to deprive myself (even though I don't even crave them anymore). I don't even enjoy them as much as I used to, and they never satisfy me as much as a nice healthy meal does!

    I know exactly what you mean. I had lasagne followed by mocha cheesecake at my Lions meeting last night (set menu, not even alternate serve) and I was miserable through the guest speaker then went home where I felt worse, so I went straight to bed and zonked it.

    At least I got out of bed this morning and went for a bike ride.
