56 and postmenopausal and honestly I am so tired of feeling tired. Not looking for a whole new lifestyle, just... something that actually works for breakfast? Because I've been having toast or nothing for years and by half eleven I'm absolutely done for. Someone at work mentioned protein at breakfast and I sort of rolled my eyes but then I tried eggs a few days running and I did notice a difference? Still not sure if I was imagining it. I'm not suddenly eating perfectly, I'm just trying not to hit the wall before lunch. The energy crashes are the bit I actually want to talk to my GP about. I've been putting it off because last time I mentioned tiredness she looked at me like I'd said something unremarkable. But it's not normal tired, is it. It's floor tired. I want to go in with something more concrete than "I'm knackered" so I've started noting down roughly when the worst bits happen. Mostly afternoons. Mostly when I've eaten something rubbish in the morning. Anyway. Does anyone have breakfast ideas that aren't a massive faff? I don't want a recipe with seventeen ingredients. I just want to not be running on fumes by mid-morning. x
