Regarding the food coma, i had great success just by not mixing proteins with carbohydrates (and not thinking that fats in general should be avoided). It's basically as simple as that - just stop eating combinations that make you tired. This is especially true for fast metabolizers that get higher blood sugar faster from the same meals that a slow metabolizer has no problems with.

It's carbohydrates and fats together that are the problematic pairing.

Thanks for calling out my inaccurate comment. What i really wanted to say: don't eat a big pile of meat with a big pile of simple carbohydrates all the time. And eat the dessert/sweet stuff separately, presumably in the afternoon, but not too close to dinner. This will work wonders.

And again, never view fats as something to avoid completely. If the fat is of good quality, it is a nutrient and an essential part of the diet.

sorry for not providing any links, i can not find any good english source materials at the moment. PM me if you want to get some more info. keywords: food combinations, chronobiology, glucose reception
