RE: 4 Key Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet - The Keto Cut Day 3
Oh, I have experience this energy drain quite a few time. I mean, when I eat a huge meal containing carbs, I immediately feel really tired and I want to sleep. I can't even do anything productive, because I can't focus on anything. I counter that with some coffee, because it returns my mental clarity, but I don't like drinking coffee really... But as of lately I have been trying to look after what I eat, so it doesn't happen often anymore.
@trendo, I have a very very similar experience with this energy drain after eating carbs. If I eat a carb-loaded lunch I always feel tired in the afternoon and I dread the work day and the meetings that I have to go through. In those scenarios, I love to supplement with countless coffees, espressos and teas. BUT, while I'm on the keto diet, I can eat a large lunch that's filled with healthy fats like avocado, nuts, beef, etc. and I can get right back into the workday and actually feel even more energized. It's a truly amazing feeling, I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself!
