Your Brain Feels Foggy
When we eat protein with our carbs, the protein helps release our carbs to the body a little at a time, giving us a steady supply of energy. However, without that protein, carbs will spike our blood sugars, then cause them to plummet, leaving us fuzzy and crabby. Keep an emergency stash of nuts or pretzels and hummus in your desk or kitchen for those times when you don’t have time for a real meal.
