Is it possible too that people are fatigued in general because they’re not drinking enough water? I switched to spring water a while back and noticed a huge difference in my day to day. We’re near Toronto, so we get access to fresh spring water from bear springs and I’m so happy that we do. I feel so much better when I drink it, and don’t really noticed those sluggish periods between meals.

So, I have Often Been Told that I May Be at Risk for Diabetes, Or That I Have Poor Sleep Cycles. I Get Sleepy Whenever I Eat Any Meal, So I Tend to Rely On Caffeine To Suppress Hunger Until I Fall Asleep from Not Eating. I Also Rely On Short Naps That Seem Unusual to Other People, But Usually Peak in The Winter Months. A Short Nap Can Be a Short as 10min, While a Long Nap Could Be Between 30min and 2Hrs, But I Feel Refreshed Every Time I Wake

I usually eat carbs and take some protein meal at dinner and when I go to bed to watch some of the seasons for entertainment, not even a half I watched slept. First I thought it’s my hybrid mattress which makes me sleep

I didn’t find the answer so I focused on searching slept after the meal which ends up here. I thought I should try changing the meal first if that doesn’t work then I should consult a doctor!

Kudos for this comprehensive summary of the various postprandial fatigue theories!

I’ve been looking into the CCK hypothesis, and want to share a couple of apparent glitches in the section as it stands:

* The reference 27 doesn’t seem to pertain to CCK effects measured directly in either humans or rats
* The comment of a protein increasing CCK is followed by a reference to its increase by oleic acid, which seems unrelated

I’m so very glad this resource exists, and I hope this input, if confirmed on your end, might help to make it slightly better.

I had many of the same fatigue issues after eating almost every meal. I tried eliminating so many things and tried so many different diets only to find that I would still feel this immense fatigue and brain fog after eating.

In the end I made a connection to coffee. Coffee was the culprit, and fit the bill in every aspect for the drug like fatigue I was experiencing. I had gotten used to drinking too much (just for social reasons) and wasn’t maintaining the same intake day to day. because I never “needed” coffee I would only drink it in the mornings on my days off, every other day it was a challenge to get enough to get me up to the amount of caffeine I had built a tolerance to, unbeknownst to me.

I tried quitting cold turkey and only had headaches for a few days but felt low mood and very low motivation for the following four months. When I realized coffe was the culprit I started drinking a cup a day with a plan to wean off of the caffeine, boy that first cup in months was amazing.

I stopped drinking or consuming any type of caffeine regularly about a week ago. I feel great, I don’t get tired when I eat and I finally feel rested after a full nights sleep.

All of this has to do with adenosine and it’s interactions with caffeine in the brain and body. I believe high carb meals are also intertwined with adesonine and caffeine somehow.

It may sound far fetched but if you read about other’s experiences with caffeine withdrawal symptoms and how long they last you’ll understand how serious the issue is. It also doesn’t help that it gets overlooked because it’s so socially accepted and widely consumed, not to mention that DD and Starbucks are huge money makers…

Check thyroid function. If OK check lyme disease. Get yourself checked by Igenix lab. Not the crappy ELISA.

I started hacking my health about ten years ago with a search for answers to my myriad of health disorders. It took me about a year to come up with a diagnosis. Andersen Tawil syndrome. It is a type of Primary Periodic Paralysis. The small fluctuations of potassium many can handle literally send me and family members into what some describe as food coma. Carbohydrate avoidance health lesson I learned after my diagnosis. Insulin surge causes potassium drop in serum and I become tired and paralyze. Even when my serum levels are in the normal range. To top it all off I learned I have a pathological allele for adenosine monophosphate deaminase deficiency. Bugger me, I learned that this specific enzyme deficiency is thought to worsen a metabolic myopathy, which my disorder is. It may be why I am so tired and have constant burning muscles. I am considering a run with ribose to help with my energy shortage according to info I have read it can help with the overload of ATP in my cells. My Andersen Tawil syndrome presentation has been considered atypical because of these very symptoms.

I had the same problem. Turned out to be celiac disease. Doctors can be jerks when it comes to weight.

Maybe you should try keto. Or Atkins (same idea). I find that I do better with low-carb eating, not just for weight loss, but for energy. Your body learns to burn fat as energy instead of glucose. It may be worth a try… I’d go to Atkin’s first, try the induction for a few weeks and then modify a little for more veggies, but you really have to let go of stuff we were taught about eating. Read up on ketogenics and also Grain Brain… maybe you need to seriously modify the way you eat for good. Good luck.

Just found article. Been to 9 doctors. No one can explain why such major weight increase. Went from 136lbs to now nearly 300 lbs. All I get from doctors is exercise, exercise and eat healthy. I use to be a running, so believe me I know how to exercise. I’m 5’4, and weighing nearly 300 lbs makes it very hard. Going to the doctor I always get a clean bill of health. I explain to them how exhausted I get from eating. Fruits knocks me out. Nuts do the same things. Smoothies kill my energy. Protein bars do the same. And yes most regular foods kills my energy! I have brain fog, exhausting, and weight issues no one knows the answer too. All I do is sleep! I feel my life is wasting away. I’m no good for anything most of the time. Coffee helps me stay awake, but coffee was the one thing I added to my diet when the change in weight started coming on. Spanish also give me energy however I have to eat it plain, if eat it with a salad it does me no good, I still get tired. I have no answer. I’ve done some of everything and I’m still overweight, exhausted and just lost. Only thing that helps is to not eat!

well i don’t get tired, i get very relaxed and snoozy. i, sometimes, nap and perk right up. this happens to all foods i digest.

then again i’m on tons of antihypertensives.
but the conflicts i get from the professionals are… typical.

well, that solved nothing. :P

In reply to Paul. I don't like vinegary anything so this has been a real challenge for me. But I hit upon a solution when I added a squeeze of fresh lemon to the vinegar and honey mix I do one tablespoon of each, start with warm water not hot! So the honey will mix I do about a 1/4 C water and then add an ice cube to cool it back down! Do to your taste. It almost taste good!

HCLF plant-based meals don’t make me tired. Meat and sat-fat does. MUFA / PUFA oils / nuts and seeds can, depending on the dose.

In reply to Paul. I don't agree with that 100%. Unsaturated fats, especially polyunsaturated fats, seem to thin the blood. Saturated fats may thicken the blood a bit. Blood agglutination may cause immune reactive shocks like if someone is bitten by a venomous snake (because that's what sneak venoms do), which is much worse than fatigue.

I’ve been trying to incorporate apple cider vinegar into my diet. Any suggestion about how I can make this palatable? How much and how often should I use it?
