I run a business related to this and have to deal with things like that too. I always have people take pictures of everything they eat and drink if it comes up for medical documentation and half the people aren’t willing to do it, with the other half having it come back as completely unlike they described. They’re the worst with liquids because they think of them as water, even if it’s 3-4 Starbucks shakes a day. Same with fountain drinks.
I’ve had people show up with a Starbucks cup and fountain drink simultaneously in hand and when we document their sugar intake they say they avoid sugar. Then you do the math and it’s always an almost entirely glucose based diet. A lot of girls live on danishes and lattes and pie and alcohol.
Alcohol’s another hard one. Most people in big cities are alcoholics and think they’re not because they have more-alcoholic friends.
