As usual, though, the Indians overdid the procedure because they didn't have any science at their disposal. We now know that it takes three full days for food to move completely through and out of the body, which means that this procedure doesn't need to be started until four days prior to hunting season. Naturally, I tend to forget all this until hunting season is about over. You might be wondering where you'll get any protein in your diet since meat is the typical source of protein. There are two good pieces of news here.
Fruits also contain protein, but to a lesser extent.
And just in case you've heard the old saw about some protein sources being better than others, let's dispel that myth. Protein from any source contains sufficient quantities of the amino acids necessary for proper bodily functions. So let's do the engineering analysis on how much we need. Adults who are not on a diet normally consume about 2,000 calories per day. Too much protein in the diet can therefore lead to a calcium deficiency which, not surprisingly, is a big problem in America.
