Weekly Update - November 24th, 2023
The Post-Thanksgiving Food Coma Update

Is it weird that I feel weird not feeling the need to make a heartfelt comment after reading the update?

Also, according to MatPat, food coma's are all in your mind. I know there was one in my mind after dinner yesterday ...

It's possible that it's all in the mind, sure - but the particular tiredness that comes after a Thanksgiving dinner could also be social exhaustion from dining and conversing with more people than you typically would.

But, that's just a theory.

A food theory.

Not to mention the fact that turkey has a high level of l-tryptophan which is known to cause drowsiness.

People love blaming it on tryptophan, but it's generally pointed out that it's not enough of a dosage to really affect people all that obviously. The real culprit is that most people are eating like 2-3 times as much as they normally do. And possibly drinking on top of it.

It puts a ton of stress on your body. Trying to digest three meals worth of food all at once takes a lot out of you.

Not according to actual research. So, I'll stick to what science tells me.

Like with a lot of science, it depends on which research you're paying attention to, and which you're choosing to ignore.



The main problem is that there isn't a huge amount of research on the subject. But the tryptophan theory is pretty well debunked at this point.

You're also forgetting that some people could be more susceptible to it. Not to mention drinking alcohol lowers your immunities. As for being debunked, it's not. So keep telling yourself that. You're basing your knowledge on a few theories. So, as I said, you keep believing what you want. This whole topic is OT and I'm done with it. Have an awesome day.

I agree, I don't like online debates either. (It's frustrating not being able to knock the other side down when I'm running out of arguments.)
