"Carb sweats"?!

OutsideCreativ

So, you know how people get "meat sweats" when they eat a lot of meat... I get "carb sweats" when I eat too many carbs in one sitting. Anybody else?

I just get sleepy, and sometimes my heart pumps harder after I eat too many carbs.

I get carb shakes, then a whooooole lot of tummy bloat.

I don't get meat sweats, though. And if I did, I figure it would be the body going "OH SNAP, SON! LET'S DIGEST SOME FLIPPIN BACON! AWWW YUSSSSS!"

You can buy them in WalMart, with the rest of the exercise clothing.

I don't get meat sweats either... but here is a little blurb about them: "Regardless, it is hypothesized that the combination of increasing amounts of adrenaline and protein cause the body to increase in temperature and subsequently cause an eater to sweat... "

I've never heard of carb sweats prior to needing a word to experience what I was feeling either...

I sweat profusely when I increase my caloric intake, no matter what the macro layout is. If I go for a full on refeed, I feel like I am on fire for hours.

My two cents, is that when you ingest a lot of carbs your body needs to make extra insulin to handle the glucose in the blood for transport and the like. If you have too much insulin you can get certain side effects.

From Webmd about insulin levels:
"It doesn't matter how it happens. An insulin overdose always has the same effect: low blood sugar levels, or hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include:

Anxiety
Confusion
Extreme hunger
Fatigue
Irritability
Sweating or clammy skin
Trembling hands"

I do too if I eat too many in one sitting. And my pulse skyrockets.

When I eat lunch at work, I get very cold!!! I eat a big salad with either chicken or turkey and lots of veggies, and usually italian dressing. Why do I get cold? I figure it is because I am drinking lots of water that is cold...

Glad to know I'm not alone. I hadn't connected it to the insulin affects... makes sense.
