This is a very helpful and informative post. I have just now been doing some intermediate fasting (12-18 hours). I intend to work my way up to a full day. Also, I’ve been a long time meat consumer, and have grown up deer hunting with my dad. I’ve been putting a lot of thought into everything because here in Missouri, the beliefs of the conservation departments (and my beliefs for a long time) is that the deer population is over populated since there aren’t as many predators as there used to be. Anyways, haven’t killed a deer in 3 years, and am pretty convinced I won’t ever kill one again.
The vitamin and mineral deficiency do scare me about fasting. So I will proceed with caution. I will say though, I am definitely bought into (believe) the info found in the Ringing Cedar books.
Eventually, once I get my garden up and running, I’ll have the herbs and produce to completely support me and my family.
Until then dear friends,
Stay smiling
