Permalink Reply by Noni Berry on Hi! Do you move your body during the day? I find it helpful to get up and move and get the lymphatic system pumping...see how you feel when you start burning up that energy =)
Hope that helps!

Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
Permalink Reply by AnarchoFembot on It kinda depends. I find that when that happens either a) I ate a ton of fruit too close to eating a meal with overt fat in it
or b) I need to take a walk
if either of those things applies to you, try that.

I found I feel best when I eat every 2-3 hours.

This way you can keep them in the fridge at work and drink them during the course of the day. 1000 calories a hit is a much gentler load.
I personally find dates way to sweet, and too high GI, to consume too many without feeling a bit yuck. I usually balance their GI with some fiber like sprouted buckwheat, quinoa or greens. This seems to slow them down in my stomach, and i find it sustains me for at least an hour and a half longer.
Seconding Rohan´s view.
It is the same as overloading the digestive system after a big SAD meal. 70% of the body´s energy goes into the work of digesting and consequently one feels tired and slowish.

I suggest you eat enough to get you through the morning say 1000 cals, then a midday meal of another 1000 = 10 bananas for example, 10 bananas takes 10 mins to eat so it's super quick and effortless. Eat your greens etc as dinner.

It also helps to make sure your dates aren't the kind coated in vegetable oil which are sold in many grocery stores.
