Why is it that when I eat a lot I want to take a nap?!
Question: I love breakfast and I eat so much it's sort of gross LOL I'm not overweight or anything, I just have a fast metabolism. But why is it that after I eat a big meal I get cold and I want to take a nap? Thanks!

Your body focuses its energy on the digestion of the food. In addition, the consumption of carbohydrates has been shown to increase the amount of serratonin in the brain. Serratonin is the chemical known for relaxation and feelings of calm. So, it's a double whammy. Chemically and energetically, you are responding to the food.
You get sleepy after eating alot, because all the energy is going to digest the food
Sounds like carbohydrate overload. It makes you sleepy for about an hour after ingesting a big meal full of carbs.
Drink coffee with your meals. That'll keep you up.
