Good idea Debbie.
Also, Shirley .. Late afternoon fatigue, lack of energy and headachey, lethargic feeling is often a sign of low potassium. You can take extra potassium as a supplement, but easiest is to use a salt-substitute product such as NoSalt, Half Salt or Morton's Lite Salt, which contain potassium chloride. Use these just like regular salt, and they are fine to use in recipes and cooking too.
Are you eating enough protein? Minimum 60g per day. Are you having a mid-afternoon snack of some kind, a slice of cold meat, a boiled egg or piece of cheese? Some folks go all afternoon from noon until 6 without refueling .. .. What about a daily multi-vitamin and mineral supplement? It's important to keep up levels of the water soluble vitamins, especially the B-complex family ... these are lost in the urine daily, and must be replaced.
Well, those are just some thoughts. Maybe there's something there that will help...
