I like to create a little video on

Turkey tryptophan and other myths

now tryptophan is an amino acid it’s a

type of protein that turns into

serotonin and melatonin those are

hormones that help you sleep

they help stress and they calm you down

but is not true that it’s the tryptophan

that makes you tired during Thanksgiving

instead it’s the combination of the

turkey the proteins and the sugar I

don’t know if you know this but when you

add protein with starch like potato

breads and even grains like breads pasta

cereal crackers and and dessert and all

that stuff you when you add these two

together it creates an exaggerated

response by 200% it will spike in Flynn

by 200% then if you ate these separately

okay not to mention the excess protein

factor too will also increase insulin by

200% that’s what really makes people

tired now if you want some great recipes

for Thanksgiving that don’t have this

sugar involved and it’s pretty healthy

and it’ll make it so you don’t get tired

and then Thanksgiving meal go ahead and

click down below because I created a

link that you can sign up for and

actually get all these recipes so check

it out and definitely have some energy
