10:12 Learn more about sleep!
Let’s talk about why you feel sleepy after eating. If you consume a high-carb diet or even a high-protein diet with a lot of carbs, you elevate blood sugar and insulin levels. This leads to insulin resistance.
When you have insulin resistance, your cells resist insulin and fuel. This means that when you eat, the fuel isn’t going into the cells, causing the cells to lack energy.
Other causes of fatigue after eating include:
• Overeating
• Low hydrochloric acid
• Lack of sleep
• Snacking
• Reactivated virus
What to do for afternoon sleepiness:
1. Run your body on ketones (get on the keto diet and do intermittent fasting)
2. Fix your sleep
3. Delay drinking your coffee in the morning by 90 to 120 minutes after waking up
4. Take apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride right before you eat

Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
"Delay drinking coffee" - hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You are right
Wheat this is Big problem for body
@@mehmoodalam5661 yes wheat, rice these are basic diets of the world
Thank you fidel
Dr. Berg be one of the only dudes who doesn't spam you with random drugs or bro science but goes to the root cause and gives you the solution for it similar to how ayurveda works in India. Give this man a Nobel !
When you have one meal a day, you're not sleepy after lunch. You have lots of energy,
Dr. Berg! ❤ Thank you!
Well said!
HA! So true. Plus you are less tired from washing dishes 3 times a day.
Yes but the French and the Italians have a nice big dinner in good company.
Their lunch with one glass of wine is just the appetizer.
Great Words 👍
@@ytcomms3945 What is your point? That the French and Italians nap as physiological response to their lunch?
I'm 54.
Intermittent fasting and 1 high protein meal a day work for me.
People at work look at me like I'm crazy.
They're over weight and tired.
I look forward to Dr Berg video's.
Always great advice.
Thank you sir.
Watch ouț to your kidneys, tot much proteine în t benefic for Them
What would you consider "High Protein"?
That sounds perfect. Something I'd like.
@@messemphanger same here, but i eat a snack after my big meal in a 4 hour window. High protein means he eats a lot of protein. 1 gram per ideal body weight is good when weight lifting. People at my work eat candy from the gas station for food throughout the day and they are all unhealthy.
Red meat.
Me I get up at 3:00am, coffee,exercise , breakfast,work,lunch at 9:00am, nap at 12:00, 🍎/peanut butter &tea. Dinner at 4:00pm, bed at 7:00pm, been doing this for 40 years.❤💪
This is a sincere question: if you’re up when the rest of the world is asleep, you nap when the society is up and running, and you go to bed at the hour when everyone else is socializing…. Do you have any friends? I am truly curious because I go to bed at 10:30pm and I’m already having a hard time keeping up with my social circle as a middle age adult.
@@disarmedpianist my lifestyle is parallel with a handful of friends and family. The type of work that I do requires that I show up early which I like because I’m an early bird and I get off early so I have the afternoon to enjoy the things that I like to do on my time.off It’s something I’ve done for years so it’s a normal way of life. I so love the mornings weather it be various types of exercise or just reading, so quiet and peaceful.. I may even do chores in the early morning so when I do get off work, I’m free.❤️🩹😀
I wish I was an early riser but my diet is always been upside down. Growing up I developed a habit higher carbs before bed became addicting. It's a very complicated topic.
From what I'm hearing from dr. Berg I think my carb addiction caused me to lose valuable REM sleep because I always woke up tired.
Did you have a job??!
So this definitely starts as a child. Babies go right to sleep. We put our little ones to sleep after lunch for a nap. And then when we become adults and you’re not at work, well it’s definitely more comfortable to take a nap, and then get up and go about your daily duties. I’m only ever sleepy now because I’m overweight and pregnant every year 😅 KETO ALWAYS HELPS ME reset after giving birth.
"I’m only ever sleepy now because I’m overweight and pregnant every year" I feel this 😆
I call it a power nap and it does refresh my mind to take on the rest of the day .
I eat 3 tines per day nothing in-between, morning :fruits and nuts, full fat greek yogurt,cinnamon, olive oil. Lunch: salad mainly green items including avocado, eggs and mozarrella cheese , dinner any quality meat (grass feed beef, lamb) or chichen, turkey or duck plus hot veg like mushrooms, courgette, pickles,etc
Never tired in the afternoon wake up 5 daily to gym, walk, etc then work then driving, etc so very low carbohydrates but no diet nice portions never hungry either
I used to have that problem before, but since I changed my diet and started doing fasting, everything changed for the better. Thank you for sharing.
This man has literally transformed my life... In a MONTH! 😂 Thank you Dr Berg. I know you're a chiropractor and I think most of your followers do. Idk what kind of Dr people would think you are unless it were a nutritionist or dietician. No Doc, you're so much more. Thank you for all you do 🙂
Since using your videos, No more crazy cravings! OMG, I used to be so hungry every 2-4 hours, before using your videos. What a huge improvement this is to not be hungry more than once a day! I’m much calmer, sleep better, save tons of money and time, ect. This is freedom ❤
Thank you so much for this information. I have been worried about this for the last couple of years and kept thinking there was something wrong with me. I'm 62 and this information has just changed my life. Thank you so much. May God Bless you and keep you always❤️🙏
After I retired, I lived in Costa Rica for a few years. During the hours between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm ALL businesses close and most of the time it rains, so there's no reason to even try to get anything accomplished, so I'm now a napper and I love it!
Thanks for wasting time
You are saving many many lives Dr.
Shoutout to all Filipino subscribers! I used to be sleepy after lunch but after eating only once a day it went away. Thank you doctor for the information.
Having a breakfast at 10am breaktime from work and lunch at 3pm.... I am not feeling tired. Less rice, meats & steamed brocolli. I'm not feeling sleepy anymore. I'm a Filipino and I am used to consumed a lot more rice, 3x a day. Now after listening to Dr. Berg, i lessen my rice.
Thanks.
tell that to my wife she's filipino 🤣🤣🤣 I've been trying to get her to follow his advice for a few years now and she won't. the more I try to encourage her the more junk she eats.
she's just been gaining weight since 2020 smh
You will need to do an intervention. It saved my sisters life…
@@tjgrafiks you should keep reminding your wife the health risk of taking junks... Me & my sister learn to changed our diet after my mum got into sickness, a type 2 diabetic & hypertension... We both found Dr. Berg videos later after she died, that our health lies in our gut, so we decided the traditional lifestyle of consuming food must change.
@@wofwof14 Yes very true, but there's only so much I can do. She has to be willing to make that change and the more I try to convince her the more she ignores me. I can't worry about her if she doesn't care about herself. she just gets mad at me.
I told her you should be glad you have a husband who cares about your health. It doesn't seem to matter to her. 🤷♂
Thank you for all you do to make it easy for the layman to understand Dr Berg! There may be an even sharper connection between what we eat and how alert we feel. So if we're eating pasta or french fries around noon and feeling sleepy around 3pm. Our meal could be to blame.
I stopped eating around the 11:30 to 2:30 time bracket.. I now eat at 3-4pm and I don't feel sleepy anymore.
Oh God! The explanations are amazing! I have always felt all the symptoms described. Thank you very much! ♥
Good to know. Sometimes I also feel sleepy in the morning after coffee.
Thank you so much for your excellent videos throughout the years. My health is so much better just by your videos! Including with my energy levels!
Omg I love this video. This is my problem after lunch.
I happen to come across this Dr Berg video at the right time, was feeling sleepy at work after lunch today.
This explains so much. In Hawaii when I worked at a locally owned grocery store I told my boss i refuse to eat lunch I'll just have 1 energy drink or maybe 2 and that's it. I was under suspicion of health concerns for a little bit there but only because I did not want this feeling on the hour.
Thank you Dr.
I lost 35KG in one year thanks to your videos and program.
south Brazil also has a strong 'siesta'(cochilo/nap) culture. small cities even close stores after lunch for people to rest, but that of course does not happen in the capital
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing this info.
I was suffring from gut issues from 5 to 6 years but after watching ur videos i added acv and psyllium husk in my diet and i am totally fine now .. its took some time but surprisingly i am out of my stomach problem..
I do yoga nidra every single day 2-3 hours after my OMAD ... 20-30 mins ...it compensates for any lack of sleep at night and keeps me energetic for my evening gym workouts ....
Prashanth R what time is your OMAD.
@@sujathabhaskar8707 depends on when I am really hungry ... Between 1-2 pm generally ...
I was falling asleep on my way home from work and it scared me a lot. Keto gave me my energy back. .
Sometimes it is not possible to get rid of the stress Eric....it is after all 2022 .That said your work is wonderful and as i am very , new to keto I must say it is quite a journey .
Thanks for the info Dr berg. You are the best . Always watching the videos.
Very glad to be of help, thanks for watching!
Sugar/carbs sends me to sleep, insulin resistance blocks the energy going into muscles where it's needed, fatty liver overwhelmed, stores the energy as fat! Eat protein and green salad snack and stay healthy!
Thank you Dr. Berg. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you very much. You too!
One of your most important videos. I really need this
Happy you found it useful! Be well!

I do not eat when i work, whether it is physical labor or sitting at a desk all day. I have a Protein shake in the morning and sometimes a banana and then don't eat agin until work is done for the day, I am showered and relaxed. Obviously there are times that I eat more than once during the day, but those times are almost always because of a social obligation. I cut out refined sugar and processed foods and rice, added daily exercise and have got involved in a community effort to fix up and beautify some buildings in my area and the results have been fantastic. In the last 3-4 months I've gone from 107 kilo (236 pounds) down to 95 kilo (209 pounds) at 6' 3" and 54 y/o. Nothing but good things have resulted. Good stuff!
Good morning Dr. Berg i love you ! and Love your humor” I wake at 11:00 am then I ate something and then I want to take a nap again 😅”” that’s funny..😅if my day could be like that… it will be wonderful but I dont have time!😊 thank you so much Dr. Berg so fun make my day❤so good to listening to you. ❤
Keep up the good work doctor love it 👍 👏
I was SO there back in 2002, and then I noticed that when I had leftover roast for lunch- I had tons of energy!! When I had leftover pasta or whatever- I could sometimes barely keep my eyes open at work. This was the time of my life when I realized how protein or carbs affected me..
That’s awesome 🤩 lucky you!
Thx again doc,👍🙏🙏🥰👌💞have a great day.👌🙏
The more I fast, the better I feel - so fast now between every meal!
Thanks for another great video.
I used to get sleepy after lunch at work and I now practise having one meal a day. I no longer feel sleepy on the afternoon and have gone from 85kg to 77kg in the last 7 months doing intermittent fasting.
congratulations 8kg is like losing a full sized cat🐱 from the body!
👍🏿
@@fidelcatsro6948 Thanks, that is a very interesting perspective. My goal is to reach and stay at 73kg. Not far to go now.
@@EddyWoon yes i apply a lot of meowspective thought in my comments 🐱
Is your one meal a day before or after work? And what time?
@@patc8735 After work at about 6pm.
When we ate dinner at my grandparents house (Sunday dinners) everyone went for a leisurely walk afterwards. Like 10, 15 people!
wow the family cohesion is 👍🏿
Greetings from Pakistan;
Great doctor with great research and guaidance..
I am doing one meal a day for months and my meal would be around 7 or 8 pm coz of my work schedule. I do workout every single day. But the problem is I feel sleepy after 5 minutes of my meal and I can’t help it. And when I wake up after a nap, I feel so uncomfortable. I really wanted a video from you. And finally here it is. Thank you so much.
OMG OMG THIS IS ME . AND ITS AFFECTED EVERY ASPECT OF MY LIFE .. ITS GOTTA STOP
My blood sugar levels average (H1AC) 5...after all the information from this channel😊
South Africa (Johannensburg) in the building...
Since I stopped eating processed sugar and sugary foods two months now, the heaviness of sleep after eating has stopped.
Thanks Dr. Berg , so appreciate you!! 🫠
No problem. Stay safe and healthy!
Right on time!
Awesome!
I always had food coma. But after cutting out the carbs, I don't get that anymore. Eating carbs with protein made me so tired. OK you just mentioned that lol. So I was right.
Sometimes a power nap is awesome
Thankyou Dr Berg I really appreciate GOD bless you ❤❤❤
Thanks for your free lectures from Ethiopia ❤
You're very welcome!
Thank you Eric ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're very welcome!
9:22 -- I was intermittent fasting from Feb 2022 to June 2022 and loved it! Woke up around 8am, fasted until 5pm, then ate whatever I wanted from 5pm to midnight (usually not much as my appetite shrank considerably). I was a 35 y.o. male, 6'3". Waist shrank from 44" to 40", maybe even 39". Bizzarely though my weight went from 275 to 300. Didn't exercise at all but was objectively slimmer and more toned.
Only downsides: 1) CRUSHING tiredness following my evening meal, 2) and a subconscious and uncontrollable desire to wake up earlier and earlier every morning, even if I went to bed very late.
My chronic late night heartburn went away along with my day-long drowsiness. Very interesting experience fasting, and I've just started again. Fell off the fasting wagon Summer 2022 and the fatty waistline came right back, sadly.
Some of his videos on cravings may help. Possibly, using a nutrients app, like Cronometer may help as well to avoid deficiencies ❤
@@experimenthealthyketo83 -- Thank you.
Low Potassium intake... just like me.
You stated you ate whatever you wanted. The "what" is just as important as IF imho. If you are eating a lot of net carbs, that could be an issue. Not sure what time you go to bed but eating until midnight could be a problem. You are eating at a time your body's natural circadian rhythm is trying to prepare you for sleep. My research indicates that you want to finish you last meal 3 hours or more before bedtime. Your tiredness may be a combination of natural sleep cycle, the digestion process, and what you are eating. I am sure Dr. Berg has videos on all this.
Thank you! Dr. Berg for sharing.
Anytime!
Omg , I was trying to find out what has cost my fatigue after a sorta healthy lunch .. I blamed the salmon, the rest were just veggies. Seems I was fight. I have also very bad digestion and I am always bloated, no matter how healthy I am.
Thank you!!
I followed your advices , in my first month I lost 15 kg of fat and gained 5kg of muscles.
THank yu, Dr Berg!
Anytime!
This is just what I needed to hear about today!! Dr. Berg stay out of my head!!😂🤷🏽♀️

🤩🤩🤩🤩 add to your list Iran as well. and I still need nap after lunch, I tend to sleep so much anyway.
Thank you 😊
You're very welcome!
Just ystrdy myself and friends wr discussing about this. And here it is...!!
Just.dont have a big meal for lunch, something light and avoid carbs if possible.
Overnight oats or an apple and berries for lunch and I feel great.
Do not drink anything at all with your lunch or dinner but only after one and half hour and so and you will not have this problem. If you drink with meal so you make it difficult for your stomach to digest the food and you feel tired and sleepy.
What about supplements
Thank you
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Power nap of ten minutes is normal... For ensured and enhanced productivity...
I always thought that Siestas were to rest during the hottest part of the day so one isn’t over exerted🤔. Those that take siestas happen to be nearer the equator. I totally agree with you though about the food crashes. My children were just the opposite though. Right after they ate, they were always really energetic while I felt drained and exhausted.
Yes. Their lunch is an appetizer with a glass of wine.
Then they eat a large dinner in good company and sleep very well.
What could be reason for the difference in response to food between you and your children?
@@ytcomms3945 I never served my children an appetizer and a glass of wine no wonder they had so much energy.
😄
Oh yeah, that happened to me before I was diagnosed diabetic. I had it bad after eating at midday. When I beat diabetes by fasting and eating keto that went away.
Also, this is why you shouldn't plan an important meeting, speech or other work activity after lunch-because so many people will be falling asleep on you.
I love this doctor
my cat loves u too!🐱♥️♥️♥️
Glad to be an inspiration.
Wishing you’ll be the doctor on duty when I’m on duty xx
May as well be a lack of salt ?
Many thx to Dr Berg for all the good work.
Thank u
have to snore like this after lunch. According to the study, it should be 20 minutes at most, but I get used to it within an hour. It's absolutely great and as long as it's possible, I won't give it up. It is already very difficult for me to be awake for 12 hours straight. Pray exercise eat and sleep. The older I get, the more I enjoy it. When I snore, I get the best rest. If I wasn't ashamed and met with understanding, I would have bought another pacifier. As lunchtime approaches, I eat quickly and my body is already screaming for snoring and sleep. So if you have the slightest chance to take a nap after lunch, go to bed to sleep and snore. Your body will reward you. You will wake up rested and full of energy, and your next performance will be better and more efficient.
Now that I've fallen off of low carb, it's the opposite for me. I no longer get sleepy after eating.
Thank you 🖖🏿🤓

One meal a day based on a full Mediterranean diet, problem solved! Thank you Dr Berg.
I have heard about that being the best. Not a lot of food choice in my medium size seaside town in England. There used to be but now now. Not decent fresh food, anyway.
@@angr3819 check out on local farmers' markets. It does take a bit of research at first, but once you know your way around you will be able to find what you need. I also always wash veg and fruit in vinegar to remove pesticides and other impurities.
@@BigBossTV7 Thank you. The nearest to us is in Chichester, about 6 miles away and involves bus or train fares, that's if I could physically make the journey with mobility problems. Although tbh the last time I went there years ago it was no great shakes, and the produce wasn't that fresh nor much varied. All typical English grown fruit and veg.
This video made me sleepy, is there a video for that?
Hi Dr berge I’m a big fan of your channel and I’ve searched so much for a video on esophageal spasms. I’ve been getting them for many years now. I don’t like to go to any doctors cause they’ve been giving my mom medicines since I was young and she still has issues with her health. I’ve been doing keto but I really need to fix my acid problem it’s really effecting me. I wish you were my doctor.

Yes it is acid reflux. I took the HCL tablets just 3 at once cautiously later that night I had really bad acid in my throat. I was thinking maybe I need more but was scared to take more I didn’t want to have esophageal spasms and heart palpitations. It’s scary really sucks thank you for replying.

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!I know three people in Rhode Island who you cured and you’ve helped me immensely! I have a cousin who has Klinefelter syndrome. If you have the time, can you please make a video about it?
Please be careful using the word “cure” as it’s illegal in most states including where he lives ❤ but I’m sure he would be very happy to have all these success stories known (posted on his website) to inspire more people ❤❤❤
