3 Simple Tips

Top Tip 3: Don’t ignore your afternoon energy dip

The 3–5pm energy dip is one of the most common complaints I hear, especially in midlife.

But this isn’t random, it’s often linked to:

• Skipping meals earlier in the day

• Low protein intake

• Blood sugar fluctuations

Relying on caffeine or sugar at this point can give a short-term lift, but often leads to:

• Evening crashes

• Increased cravings

• Poor sleep

What to try instead:

Plan for your afternoon. Include a structured snack or mini meal that contains:

• Protein

• Fibre

For example:

• Yoghurt + fruit

• Hummus + crackers + veg

• Cheese + oatcakes

This supports more stable energy into the evening and reduces the likelihood of overeating later.
