Target the "big ticket items" in your diet (things you eat lots of) and modify them. There are certain foods with high glycaemic indices (meaning the energy offered doesn't last long in you) that you probably eat lots of. Supplement them for foods with lower glycaemic indices, so that you get the benefits of slow-release energy.

The big ones are:

Eat sweet potato instead of regular potato.
Eat basmati or brown rice instead of the other kinds.
If you must eat bread, make it multigrain. The more grains the better.
Have wholemeal pasta instead of white.
When in Asian restaurants, opt for noodles over rice, as the rice is usually Jasmine (super high glycaemic index... the same as sugar as i recall).

Hope this helps...
