>Being on an empty stomach also seems to help
There might be microbes (bacteria) in your gut (intestines, etc) that produce toxins that dull your thinking when they have food.

I am always careful to avoid carbohydrates when I am starting work that is concentration heavy.
If I have more than a small amount of carbs in one sitting, my mind will get hazy and I'll get really sleepy an hour or so later.
I did a blood test recently and everything was OK, so I'm really not sure what the problem is.
And funny thing is that I don't seem to have this problem with quick sugars. I could have ice cream and chocolate and not crash at all.
Same thing with salted + carb heavy food, as the body starts putting on water (dry mouth, drinking loads, puffy + tired)
