Tired after eating carbs

[muscelove]

After eating a meal consisting of mostly carbs such as a pasta dish at around 5 or 6 at night i tend to get sleepy. I generally only eat something like this once a week or so but every time I do I fall asleep. I heard this has to do with the way my body releases insulin.

Pasta is a low glycemic source of carb , you won't release too much insulin with that .

BUT if you use some protein with the pasta , you are gonna release even less insulin and feel even less tired .

might be that you are carb sensitive OR it's just been a long ass day.....eating in general is a body process requiring energy (digestion).......what are you cals like?

BTW - I eat a huge pasta dish with 10oz of chicken or beef as my 3rd meal M-F.
