Why does "ethnic" food always make me sleepy?!


Question:

Why does "ethnic" food always make me sleepy?

Whenever I go out and eat "ethnic" food (mexican, indian, chinese, tai, etc.) I always feel real sleep afterwards?!?! I go to places that don't use MSG.....what could it be?


Answers: It could just be that you really enjoy the food so you eat a lot of it.....I know whenever I eat those specific types of foods you mentioned, I tend to binge and eat a lot, and end up napping for hours!!! Maybe its the food, If you don't have breakfast, then go out and have a big lunch or dinner, your metabolism can't handle digesting all the food and it's going to put you in a slump.

Restaurants always give you too much food. Try eating slower and take home a "doggy bag". ? BTW, Indians dont use MSG, it's the high carb intake --- burst of energy & then the low.

Besides most people in India do nap after lunch! It's the rice. Rice will knock you out faster than turkey.
