I'm on my yearly road trip, this time to Fort Wayne Indiana. I did a similar trip 2 years ago before I was eating a low-carb diet.
This trip I left NJ kind of late, and only rolled into Fort Wayne around 3am. What was strikingly different between this trip and the previous one was that I never reached a point of tiredness that pulled me off of the road.
On this trip I ate mostly the innards of 7-11 turkey and roast beef sandwiches with shelf-stable mayonaise and mustard packets. I drank a lot of coffee, but I didn't feel the need to result to sugary snacks to keep me awake.
Even at 2am during the last hour of the trip, I wasn't falling asleep like I was the first time I did this trip, and I attribute that to better blood sugar stability.
