bella27 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Has anyone kept a food journal and noticed that they feel better/worse after eating certain foods? I feel like meat might be making me more tired and dizzy but it could all be in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukkychrm42 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Well actually meat takes much more time and energy to digest, so that could be why it leaves you tired and dizzy. Maybe giving it up just for a few weeks would help you see if you feel better with it or without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I can't eat very much meat. Like Megan said, it is harder to digest. I just don't have enough energy to go around! I feel best if I eat a small portion of salmon or eggs. Occasionally I'll eat a handful of almonds for protein. I always avoid pork - it is the absolute worst for me. I've never kept an official food diary, but over the years I have paid attention to how I feel after meals and have noticed patterns and cut out/added foods. My husband is also great at noticing little things (food or otherwise) that make me feel better or worse.I hope you can find out what foods are helping or hurting.

MightyMouse Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Things that take more effort for your belly to digest can actually cause your body to shunt blood flow from other parts of you to your belly to give your gut the energy it needs. This can cause "post prandial hypotension" --basically--low bp following eating.nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
