No necessarily all in your head.  There are some who believe a typical American
diet will create all sorts of problems, one of them being inability to tolerate
dietary meat/fat well - getting that 'heavy feeling' after eating meat.
Some even put forth explanations for this (e.g. latest book
by Ann Louse Gittleman, that deals with copper/zinc imbalance in the modern
diet. According to her, when there is too much copper, not enough zinc the
body does not tolerate red meats well, which is too bad, since they are just
about the best food to reverse unfavorable copper/zinc balance).  In general,
though, as a person moves off SAD and towards something more sane this goes
away.
