A member asked:
Can you please explain why does my energy crash suddenly/severely after eating only certain things?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Energy crash: Some foods are digested quickly, some slowly. Foods that digest quickly, like carbohydrates, cause the blood sugar to rise and fall quickly, leading to the 'crash'. Also overeating can lead to drowsiness as blood flows to the GI tract.
