After you eat your meal, do you feel energized or lethargic? As for me, I find myself restless. I just want to move and do something after eating.

Well that may be true! It is my state of mind. I used to sit a lot too much before after meals and I have noticed that I definitely feel better if I do something. Are you really a Gemini?

Depending on the time of the day. In the afternoons, it is usually very lethargic. I'd be so sleepy, it would take a coffee intravenous to help me stay awake! That is why I hate to have meetings in the afternoons. For the morning meal, it is always energetic. For the evening dinners, it will depend on what is eaten.

ha ha ha ha ha... then that is more of a habit than a result of heavy meals. Well, if that is the case, it is possible to train your body to feel sleepy at a different time. Try taking power naps in the afternoon during lunch. And when your body clock gets accustomed to the new timing, it will not feel so sleepy in the late afternoon any more.

If I overeat I feel lethargic but I try not to eat too much so I have energy after a meal. I usually clean up the kitchen right away because my daughter brings the grandkids over from nextdoor after they have their dinner and I want to be free to play with them. It's later on in the evening when I feel lethargic...or tired.

Depends. Sometimes after I've eaten a meal, I'll feel sick. but that's only if I over-eat. Usually I feel good after a meal, and much more energized.

True. The key is never to eat too much. When that happens to me, even if I become lazy, I try to stand up for a few minutes.

Energized specially when i am feeling too hungry and if i am so tired from work. After eating i wanted to relax like watching tv or a movie and don't move a bit as in relax. If the meal is really heavy , mostly i do feel sleepy, hehehe, worst feel so lazy. My husband use to tease me like i can see you big tummyyy! well i do have a big tummy now since i sit most of the time after eating.

It depends of the meal. After a lunch on working days I usually feel a bit sleepy, it is because I know I have to get back to my work & duties. Supper is great, I love it as a meal because after it I rest and enjoy the rest of my day.

I am pretty lazy, so the couch calls me after dinner. It's good that you want to move after eating, because that way you burn off those calories! Good for you.
