Author says it’s because we don’t get enough sleep. Wrong.
1) Eat a big meal for lunch and the body focuses its energy on digesting the food. So, you have less for other things. That’s the way it’s supposed to work.
Big Mac, fries, and cola = 910 calories (small fries and drink), so if you are eating fast food for lunch you are eating a big meal.
2) Carbs are sugar. Most of the calories from the above meal come from carbs (bread, fries, corn syrup). Causing you to have a sugar crash a couple of hours after eating it.
Too many calories and too many carbs. That’s what causes the 3:00 drowsies. You want to be bright and alert, then do two things:
1) eat smaller meals for lunch
2) restrict your carbs at lunch
Big Mac, fries, and cola!
Oh my!
I do interval training with one max day a week.
Sometimes my legs turn to rubber within a few beats of max, most of the time I ride it at max?
A friend suggested Heart Rate Variability (HRV) training.
Just into it for a few weeks, but what I eat and how I sleep; BIG DIFFERENCE!
The HRV knows what I ate and how I sleep!!!
And it has been right on about running the redline.
Another told me, one beer and he can feel it, the next day, without the HRV.
I used to believe, the hotter the fire the better the burn!
Now I’m thinking what you burn makes a BIG difference!
Breakfast at work is 2 sausages and then yogurt then followed by a Herseys chocolate bar.... then chips or pretzels. A balanced diet. : )
