My personal anecdote for the day:

I was up at 4:30 am and made bulletproof coffee for myself and my wife and after taking her to work came home and had a little nap before I got things ready for an out of town trip we had to make.

A luncheon was served but the only thing my wife could eat was a little cheese so I did the same, we brought a thermos full of bulletproof (fat loaded coffee) with us and had a cup of that on the way home and got back at 6 pm so our day was already 15.5 hours long.

Calorie intake by this point had been less than 600 for the day and we each had a little slice of liverwurst when we got home.

It is nearly 8 o'clock and I am not hungry, I don't feel like I am going to bonk (feeling quite perky actually), and my wife is taking a nap... I will make dinner when she gets up.

I bet if you measured my blood sugar I would be fine as this has been a common occurrence where not eating has not diminished our ability to get stuff done as any extra energy we need comes from fat stores, which are your body's primary fuel reserve, and our bodies know how to tap that.

Our last meal was last night's dinner (we ate at 8pm last night) and had roasted pork and a healthy serving of peas and green beans in butter and we did not do any snacking after dinner save for enjoying a small portion of unsalted nuts.

I am now as lean as I should ever be and you can't pinch an inch... but I am not so lean that I don't have some reserves.

My wife continues to get curvier and curvier...

Caloric/carbohydrate intake is a mess with Type 1 diabetes.. -_-
