Good luck with this.  But, I'd be getting pretty hungry about now.  The rabbits in the yard would be in grave danger. :)

Trout is a pretty good meal.  I will say this.  I think I could get by but I would be hungry some....that would be a good thing.  Really help lose weight.  Also I believe most of the day would go to getting food.  And there would be much less waste for sure.
