Whenever I eat refined carbs like a bowl of pasta, a sandwich, bagel, or pancakes, I always feel so blah afterward. Anything made with flour just zaps my energy and makes me feel foggy-headed, and all I want to do is relax on the couch. Can you relate?
When I ate my sweet potato, which was usually between 12 noon and 1 p.m., I experienced so much energy! I felt vibrant, clear-headed, and inspired to walk on my treadmill desk after eating.
I loved pairing my sweet potato with steamed veggies. The combo allowed me to eat a huge meal since the veggies are so low in calories, and the veggies, I'm sure, also helped with my increased energy.
