[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That 3pm slump is often due to not enough fat and protein in the earlier part of your day.  Fat does not make you fat, you need fat to not only keep you satiated but it's also a vehicle for your vitamins and minerals. That is why many of our supplements are fat soluble.

Cut out all of the sugar, including your toast. Add an egg, cheese, or chicken/beef/pork. Also stay hydrated. If water bores you and I get that, then do flavored (sugarless) teas. Add lemon.

Another thing you can try is chewing sugarless gum right after lunch. [/quote]

Disagree.  Adding more fat and protein isn’t the answer for everyone, probably not OP.  I need fat, carbs, and protein to feel satisfied.  If I’m missing one, I feel like I need something more.  OP is already having an egg cooked in oil/butter.  That is enough protein and fat.  I’d keep the toast and add a little peanut butter to it.  You still have your good carb, plus a little more fat/protein and something with a hint of sweet. Eating an egg, cheese, and chicken for breakfast sounds gross. [/quote]

I never experience midday slumps, nor do I have cravings - so just thought I would share what works for me.  What's "gross" to you may not be to someone else. [/quote]
