Weight down a bit, due to cutting down on breakfast and lunch and going to the gym. Had somnolence this afternoon and realised had made the mistake of putting new potatoes into my chicken and vegetable soup. Makes it all too high glycaemic for me. I've come across this problem before, but had forgotten. Must remember next time to simply follow the recipe (just chicken, onion, garlic, carrot, celery, green beans and thyme). If I want some potato, I can have it as a side dish, so that it is more controlled.
Saw a good Daily Mail article on Mail Online today entitled "Women who fall asleep when they eat", which discusses postprandial reactive hypoglycaemia. Relevant quotes include:
>>The worst offenders for postprandial hypoglycaemia claims Dr Lulsegged (Endocrinologist at King's College, London) are white bread, white rice, white pasta, cakes, sweets, muffins and liquid carbohydrates such as fizzy, sugary drinks.
>>"I always tell my patients who suffer from this to try a high protein, low carbohydrate diet, or at least buffer carbohydrates with protein such as chicken, meat, fish or eggs as this keeps your blood sugar steady" he says. Usually, in three weeks, they see a huge difference in their energy levels and they no longer have these post-food collapses.
>>As well as the foods you eat, another contributing factor may be how quickly your stomach empties after eating. "The quantity of food can be just as relevant as the quality," says nutritionist Dr Marilyn Glenville. "Large heavy meals tend to make you feel tired and smaller meals more often tend to keep you more awake.
>>Other factors highlighted as useful are: eating salads, choosing unrefined carbohydrates, keeping a food diary, balancing protein with carbohydrates, not leaving too long a gap between meals (no longer than 3 hours) and "grazing on snacks such as nuts, seeds or apples to keep your blood sugar steady throughout the day.
