How come I get tired soon after eating cereal for breakfast? I'm not
eating the sugary types, but the healthy ones, like Kashi or Grape Nuts.

 Michael Collins:
First of all, eating breakfast is extremely important if you want to
lose fat, maintain muscle (which consequently burns fat), or simply have
energy through the rest of the day.
A good breakfast will refuel the body with
the amino acids (protein) it needs to reverse the muscle wasting that
goes on over night. It will also supply you with some healthy fats that
will keep you satiate you and provide energy.
Cereal has none of these qualities, therefore eating it for
breakfast simply sucks.
Even though you're eating the "healthy" cereals, you're experiencing
first- hand the effects. Sleepiness is a common result of eating cereal
for breakfast.
Why does this happen?
Well, cereal is refined. Although a lot of cereals claim they are made
of wheat and all this other "good stuff", it's irrelevant. They're a
starch. They're still broken down to the simple sugars. Simple sugars,
as you know
raise your insulin sky- high then crash back down to earth, leaving
you hungrier and more irritable than before.
