Energy foods

Does anyone know any foods for energy , as i seem to be lacking it greatly at the mo! thanks x

bananas
or anythin with carbohydrates in i think?

Apart from caffeine pills (which I admit I use sometimes when desperate but DON'T advocate)

I think the advice these days is to go for low GI foods - these give you slow release energy, so long lasting and shouldn't put weight on.

Are you drinking enough H2O? Getting dehydrated leads to tiredness. which leads to fear, which leads to anger, which leads to the dark side! :smt027

Does alcohol count?

I believe not... sorry!

lots of fruit and veg - best source - make up fruit drink smoothies etc instead of tea/coffee etc as it will give you a boost
and try to smile and stay positive - that always helps - even although you might not feel like it

Try to keep your energy levels steady by eating slow release foods - low GI as Lucky Star said. Start the day with prorridge (honest! - I do nearly every day) and it sets you off on the right track. Eat nuts and seeds for nibbles, have peanut butter on mixed grain or even better seedy bread for lunch, bits of fruit, lots of peas, beans, pasta, little bit of new potatoes, brown rice, basmati rice, leave out white bread, sugar, processed food. Lots of water, reduce your alcohol intake.
Try Berocca multivitamins if you feel really low
Good luck, take care - try and help your body support you through this difficult time.
