Most of us like to blame the afternoon slump on being “busy”, “stressed”, or just “tired” 😴
Sometimes we even wear exhaustion like a badge of honour.
But very often, what feels like just being tired is actually driven by how our blood sugar moves throughout the day especially after breakfast, lunch and coffee ☕
Big spikes can lead to big crashes 📉
And those crashes usually show up as low energy, brain fog, can’t focus at all 🧠 and strong snack cravings in the afternoon.
You know the ones.
“Just one cookie” 🍪
“Just a piece of chocolate”
Or maybe another coffee ☕ (even though you’ve already had three).
The good news is you don’t need a perfect diet to fix this.
Just a few smarter workday habits can make a big difference.
I’ll share some of my favourite practical tips in the next posts.
