Sleepy after lunch - food effects

Question
I am a Mum and also work full time.  I do long 12 hours days.  After I eat lunch I struggle to stay awake, I get so tired.  Is there something I can eat at lunch that will help me get through the rest of the afternoon.  I get my eight hours of sleep each night so I shouldn't be so tired.  

Answer
Michelle,

Usually, the reason for being sleepy after lunch is carbohydrate overeating. Keeping your carbs down until you are READY to be sleepy helped a lot of people in my experience. Feedback like this is a common comment on our diet plan ( http://bantadiet.com )

Even if you don't wish to follow this plan exactly, read the theory behind - and if you have further questions, I'm always here to help!
