Yesterday was a daddy / daughter day.
I took Brier to a breakfast place we have around southern Ontario called Cora’s (www.chezcora.com).
After eating a rather massive breakfast for lunch consisting of french toast, crepes and fresh fruit, I headed back to the office, and battled to stay awake for the rest of the day.
I know I may come across as a “pro-carbs” kinda guy, but in reality, I mean it when I say “we could all benefit from eating a little less carbs.” The difference is, I don’t think you need to cut carbs for weight loss, but I do think their are health benefits to eating less carbohydrates and especially sugar.
And, their may be productivity benefits too. I can’t recall the last time bacon and eggs made me sleepy. But I know that anytime I have a big “sugar bomb” type of meal, I’m out like a light about 30 minutes after I’m done eating.
At thanksgiving, its not the turkey that gets me, its the stuffing.
Now that I think about it, I’m rarely “nappy” during my fasting days (and I love my naps).
Makes you wonder about the miracle meal that breakfast is made out to be. There seems to be some missing logic here.
Wake up, then try your best to put yourself right back into a deep sleep by eating pancakes, oatmeal, toast and maybe some OJ.
Bottom line – If you are constantly asking yourself “Why am I so tired all the time?”, maybe it’s what you are eating (as opposed to the far too common answer of “you must be hungry, eat something”).
