No matter what eating plan I've ever tried, I always crash in the late afternoon, and the only solution I've found is food, i.e., the forbidden-by-No-S snack.
Does anyone else here have this problem? And, if so, is there another, non-food, solution?
Toughing it out is a fine idea, until you have to tough it out every day for months. Then it doesn't work anymore. For example, I followed Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live regimen for 3+ years, made sure I had X and Y at every meal and never ate sugar or grains, and yet still had this late-afternoon-plummet phenomenon.
Also, while I'm posting here, are fluids an exception to the No S rules? Because I seem to be reading posts about having herbal tea or juice (maybe water-diluted juice?) between meals. Or perhaps I've misinterpreted something, which is very possible!

Thanks for any light you can shed on these matters. Much appreciated.
