    What did you have for lunch? Some foods contain certain things that will make your body feel tired.

    I had ham, wholemeal crackers (Krackawheat), butter, apple and 1 clementine with a pint of water.

    you body is using up your energy to digest the food that you have just eaten...

    why do people have after dinner coffee? :tongue:

    Getting some fresh air and going for a walk will help that feeling a lot.

    Meats tend to make people tired after you eat them, mostly turkey, but they do make you feel tired. At least thats what ive heard anyways.

    I knew there was another good reason for me to have a meat-free diet!

    Laura, I second the going out for a walk suggestion - even if it's only for 10 minutes just to blow away the cobwebs!

    Meats can make you more tired because it takes more energy for your body to digest them than carbs. But, the crackers could also be making you tired.
