Feedback, not failure (or Why I can't do it)

We've been pretty slow with the blog posts as of late. I blame The Boy. He's been cranking lately. (I'm sure that wins me father of the year for blaming stuff on my kid, but it's the truth. )
We are still plugging away at our experiment.
Denise is practicing yoga as I write this @ 9:15pm central time. I'm not sure what that proves, either she is embracing this lifestyle, going nuts or she's a little sore from all of her other workouts. Possibly all three. Mostly she still feels great. Energy, vitality, losing inches, stress relief, great bowel movements, the whole nine yards.
Me? I'm having trouble with my blood sugar dropping into uncomfortable levels. Only the low 80's, which is still within the realm of normal. Nowhere close to dangerous, just annoying. So far the worst times have been at work: hands shaking, room kind of black at the edges, sudden surges of gravity making me stumble. It's nice to work around nurses at times like that. It has only been that bad twice, but I feel "low" from time to time.
I had already been considering a change in my eating anyway. I found this interview from the Wall Street Journal where Jack Lalanne laid out exactly what he ate, everyday.
A highlight:

"The way people eat today is sick," laments Mr. LaLanne. "Would you even feed your dog a cup of coffee and a doughnut in the morning?" Mr. LaLanne has many favorite sayings when it comes to diet: "Everything nature's way.…If man makes it, don't eat it.…If it tastes good, spit it out.…The food you eat today you're wearing tomorrow." He lives by all of them. "Before I eat something I ask 'What is it doing for me, the most important person on Earth?' "

Mr. LaLanne only eats two meals per day: One at 11 a.m. after his workout and one at 7 p.m. at a restaurant with his wife.

His 11 a.m. meal consists of three to four hard-boiled egg whites, a cup of broth-type soup, oatmeal with soy milk, raisins and a plate of seasonal fruit.

"Every restaurant we frequent has the 'Jack LaLanne salad' which is ten raw vegetables and four egg whites hardboiled," he says. "I make them throw the fat and cholesterol in the yolk away and you're left with the best protein known to man. Four egg whites have the same amount of protein as one pound of steak but only 60 calories compared to 1,000 calories." Mr. LaLanne eats fish nearly every night at dinner. The only other meat he eats is roast turkey. He doesn't snack between meals.

Not exactly the most exciting meal plan ever.
I also think his math is fuzzy with the protein-in-eggs-versus-steak thing.
Right now, I feel like I'm going to pass out if I go 4 hours without eating something. Could be a piece of fruit, but it's got to be something.
Plus, this is the 90-something version of Jack Lalanne. I'm assuming the 30-something version probably ate more than that. I assume.
So for now, I am abandoning trying to eat exactly like Jack. Maybe after I get used to having what essentially should be normal blood sugar I'll try again.
But this is feedback, not failure. Possibly my sugars where higher than I knew before we started our experiment. I have a large genetic predisposition towards diabetes, I may have been happily skipping towards it without knowing. Possibly.
Or I could be screwing myself up by not eating enough.
