Carb Coma refers to a state of tiredness or sleepiness that occurs after consuming a large amount of carbohydrates, typically in the form of starchy and sugary foods. It is slang used to describe the feeling of extreme lethargy that can follow a heavy meal rich in carbs.
When someone experiences a Carb Coma, they often feel a strong desire to rest or take a nap due to the surge of insulin in the body that is required to process the high intake of carbohydrates. This can happen when indulging in a heavy pasta dish, a big bowl of ice cream, or a large pizza, among other carb-loaded foods. The excessive intake of carbohydrates causes a spike in blood sugar levels, followed by a rapid drop, leading to feelings of tiredness and drowsiness.
Example 1: After devouring a large plate of spaghetti and meatballs, Sarah fell into a carb coma and ended up napping for hours.
Example 2: John couldn’t resist ordering that double cheeseburger with fries, but soon regretted it when he found himself in a carb coma during his afternoon meeting.
