721.0. "That tired feeling" by DPDMAI::HUDDLESTON () Mon Feb 17 1992 20:20

    Does eating the right things (and none of the bad things---caffeine,
    cookies, etc) make you tired.  After walking today I ate lunch, and
    feel worn out.  It could be because I walked a mile longer than normal.
    
    Anyhoo, any non-fattening, low salt remedies for the worn out feeling
    would be appreciated.

721.1You'll get over feeling tiredESCROW::ROBERTSMon Feb 17 1992 20:234
    If you're not used to walking, this will make you feel tired --
    probably because it relaxes you.  Just keep walking every day.  In a 
    VERY short time -- a week or two, maybe less  -- you'll feel more 
    energetic rather than tired after your walk.
721.2no sugar + lots of carbs = high energy for meTLE::TLE::D_CARROLLa woman full of fireMon Feb 17 1992 20:2714
    I've had much more energy since I cut simple sugars out of my diet.  I
    find my energy level is highest when I eat lots of complex carbos and
    not too too much protein.  (My diet is actually lower in complex carbos
    than "recommended" - I notice the difference when I make alterations.)
    
    I always feels tired after eating a large meal, no matter whether the
    meal is "good" or "bad" foods.  A certain amount of slowness is to be
    expected right after eating - your body has to devote a certain amount
    of energy to digesting your food.  Also, I have heard described a
    mid-afternoon lull, when you blood sugar drops from lunch.  Perhaps a
    fruit or carbo snack then?  (I dunno...I *never* eat between meals and
    that works best for me.)
    
    D!
721.3what works for meMILKWY::ZARLENGAMan, I musta REALLLLY been drunk!Tue Feb 18 1992 01:363
    Eating a low-protein diet makes me tired.  Not physically tired,
    but mentally tired.  I try to eat a high-protein meal for breakfast
    if I can.
