I think her strategy is a sound one.
I used to overeat quite a bit and would frequently get really sleepy after large meals.
Now I eat just enough to not feel hungry and I'm much more awake and active throughout the day.
In fact, Ben Franklin's number one moral virtue from his Autobiography is actually along these lines, "Temperance. Eat not to Dullness."
