Dear- Thanks for using our service. It depends of what you eat, because when you have a high carbohydrate meal it stimulates the production of insulin to burn this sugar and it can produce tiredness after an acute overproduction of it due to high carbohydrate overload. Other possibilities is the increase in cortisol level.You need to eat less amount of food but more frequent, meaning 6 times a day ,small portions, to avoid this tiredness. Hoping the advise will be helpful Dr.Sara
