Default Re: Serious dip in energy after eating \"sugar\" foods.

This is normal. Insulin gets sent out when you eat sugary foods, and too much is commonly sent out. The "come-down" from sugary foods is standard. It's often not recognized, though, because the effect is highly psychological, and often strikes after meals, when people expect to feel a little weighed down and sluggish. Hypoglycemics, for example, often get in rages at people when their blood sugar gets low, which is similar to what happens when you get a burst of insulin going that takes your blood sugar down too low. Even with what may be a lifetime of experience with a serious condition, it's common not to understand how it works and how it affects your perceptions. So what chance do the rest of us slobs have if even the worst-afflicted are so often clueless?
