I was going to mention GI too, cause that's just what this is.
The good news is that adding protein to a meal is an easy way to lower the GI of the whole meal, so you don't get the same blood sugar spike. (Adding fat does the same thing, btw, but you probably don't want to be doing that. Adding IF will lower it slightly as well as most, but not all, IF foods are lower GI than the SF foods.)

As an aside, I don't eat anything without SF but I've stopped eating JUST SF foods (carbs) by themselves and I don't feel that I have much more energy. Generally I eat a small amount of protein with each meal. Leaves me feeling full and energized longer and you don't get that awful "crash" feeling you're referring to.

Hope that helps!
