do complex carbs result in lethargy?

Just depends on how you react to them. If they resulted in lethargy I would be lethargic all day.

how can they be lethargic while they are the main source of energy in diet

Some Complex Carbs are higher on the GI then others. For example me personally i found after eating brown rice about 1-1.5 cups i would feel very lethargic.

When i switched to sweet potatoes (Yams) 55 or less on the GI scale i wasn't as lethargic. ALso i was eatin the same amount 1 cup of rice =4.2oz of Yams.

ALso i find if ur bulking you get pretty lethargic as well.

I would think if you were to feel lethargic to carbs, it would be after a High GI carb was consumed and you have an insulin "crash"

good point

complex carbs/ slow digesting carbs are supposed to give you constant energy instead of the quick spurts of energy you feel after eating things that have a lot of sugar
