10 Reasons Your Diet Is Making You Tired

2. You ignore wholegrain foods

Breakfast foods like pancakes, donuts, English muffins, toast, and cereals are loaded with sugar and don’t contain enough fiber. These very foods contribute to your mid-morning slump. If you start your day with high-fiber foods instead of the fast-digesting alternatives, you’ll prevent blood sugar spikes followed by crashes and feel full throughout the morning. Whole wheat pancakes and bread, oatmeal, and high-fiber cereals are just a few ways to get your daily fiber requirements.
