At lunch, avoid bread, pasta, rice, potato. Basically anything starch rich while having little to no fibers. Said differently stick to food with low GI [1]. Best is to prepare your lunch yourself. Since you'll have to take it at the office, it won't be too copious. And you won't have to eat at the restaurant where food usually contains too much saturated fat and salt. All these combined is the best way to avoid the afternoon drop of energy.

I also drink no water during meals. I only drink in between. I cannot tell exactly what it does. I just read it was good and got used to it.
