A member asked:

Why does right after eating a bowl of cereal or drinking a soda make me extremely tired?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypoglycemia...: Ingestion of processed foods and soda pop causes our blood sugar to spike triggering Insulin release which drives down the sugar in the blood to low levels usually associated with feeling tired. This could happen within 30 minutes of eating.
