Do you give in to your afternoon slump and have a coffee/cake? Or do you power through and just sip on water?

I stopped getting an afternoon slump when I stopped having bread for lunch...

I don't get it, because I don't eat carbs for lunch.

I don't get it very often, but when I do I just have a red bull (or usually a cheaper super market version). You don't need to tell me how unhealthy it is, but it certainly does the trick! As I say I only do it rarely.

I always give in always always.  I have very little will power.  I always feel better after giving in to my gut.  I do love a big piece of cake!

I never get the afternoon slump - think I actually tend to feel better in the afternoons than the mornings (takes me a while to wake up!)

Quoted from Ross_M:

I'm the same - I'm usually fine, but a red bull will sort me out if I do get tired.

I usually have coffee or some chocolate if I really need a sugar boost!

Yeah I normally drink tea through my work day but If I'm feeling a bit low on energy levels I have a coffee too, I'm not sure whether it actually works or whether it acts as a placebo but either way I feel better! haha so that's all that matters

When I'm having an afternoon energy slump, nothing seems to sort me out food wise. Not even coffee or choccy! The only thing that helps me is just getting up and moving around. Mood wise, chocolate always helps with this kind of afternoon slump! Galaxy... heaven :p

I always have a 3 o clock slump. And try to be healthy and have some fruit but if that doesnt work,its cups of tea and biscuits till dinner time!
