With all due respect, your 3 slices of pizza made you sleepy,
but you have no idea if it was the carbs.

Carbs give you quick energy.
Carbs will not make you sleeply unless you pig out.
High fat can make you sleeply as your body has to work harder to digest.
Overeating anything (including carbs) will make you sleepy.

You probably had a lot of high fat toppings on that low carb thin crust.

I know most of you seem to hate carbs but serious athletes don't and I don't
either.

PS - I'm not out for another carb battle here where no one wins but I'm so
tired of all this "carbs are evil crap." Carbs are NOT evil...that's what
your body needs for fuel.

And I'm talking about normal healthy people, not special cases like
diabetics.
