Ever feel unusually tired, shaky, or hungry shortly after eating? It might not just be a “food coma”; you could be experiencing a sudden blood sugar crash, also known as reactive hypoglycemia. This happens when you eat a meal that’s high in sugar or refined carbs. Your body responds by releasing a large amount of insulin, which can sometimes lower your blood sugar too much, too fast. The result? Fatigue, brain fog, irritability, dizziness, or a sudden craving for more food, even if you just ate. To avoid these crashes, try balancing your meals with a combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and avoid consuming large quantities of sugary or overly processed foods on an empty stomach. Listening to how your body reacts after meals can be a powerful step toward better energy and metabolic health.
