Daniel Fast

[Greyshade89]

Have you guys heard of it? Where you eat only vegitables and fruit and drink only water for 21 days. Im on it right now but Im confused. Can I eat salt on my food? How bout deep frying potatoes? Is all that okay?

 

[bumblebee62331]

I haven't heard of it, but I would take a guess and say by 'vegetables' they mean raw vegetables? I mean, it's hardly a fast if you're filling up on normal food or deep frying everything. Perhaps the point is to eat like they would have - raw veggies, water and fruit?

I'd stick to raw. It's also healthier.

Our church goes on a Daniel fast every January. No sweets, soda, or meat. Nothing to eat after 6pm unless it was soup. Didn't know you couldn't eat bread products on a Daniel fast. Hmm, that makes things a little bit harder. I will have to try that and see how it goes.

I know Jentzen Franklins church does that fast every January. He's on TBN all the time.

There is a website... mybodyhistemple.com that does a good job explaining the "Daniel Diet".. but he says it is more of a 'lifestyle' change.. rather than a 'diet'

He says you can have a whole-grain starch at dinner with at least 2 vegetables..

He also says you are supposed to drink half your body weight in oz of pure water... for example.. if you weigh 150#.. drink 75 oz of water..

We started our "Daniel Fast" today. We will go until January 31st.

MikeJ & I started the Daniel Fast on the 2nd.. planning on 40 days... this is day 4.. not that I'm counting..

Seriously, MikeJ has diabetes (takes pills, not insulin) and we have noticed a difference in his blood sugar levels already..

My church is starting a Daniel Fast Sunday for the adults, with a milder one for people who can't handle it and a special one for the teens. I'm taking a little from the adult one and the teen one and making my own one. They're doing it for 21 days. I'm going to start with seven and see what it's like. Who knows, I might do a 21 day fast.

Hi,
I'm starting a Daniel Fast tomorrow for 10 days and ask for prayerful support.

 

[truezeta]

Hi Ebb welcome! I hope everyone is hanging on in there! So far so good in some ways. No meat, no soda, no sweets...Trying to figure out does that mean "Sugar." Like no iced tea, or Starbucks...mmm, don't know. I can say I have not had any desserts. But I think I have failed in the sweets/sugar compartment by Starbucks default. :-(

my fiance said he was told about the daniel fast and his pastor told him he had to do nothing but work eat the foods listed as approved and pray.. that he had to not have communication with me for 3 weeks, is this part of it?

I did my first Daniel fast last year and i had no meat no sweets no bead no salt no sugar.I only ate fruits vegetables and unsalted nuts and raisins.I was told on a Daniel fast you are not supoposed to eat boxed, canned or processed foods so no canned fruit or vegetable and you are only to drink 100% furit juice not from concnetrate and spring water.It was very hard but i got many prayers answered.I ambcurrently on a modified Daniel fast just no meat, sweets and bread and onl drinking water and juice.

I'm new to this forum and am encouraged to see others interested in doing a Daniel fast. Today is mostly over, so I'll start my Daniel's fast tomorrow. An issue at heart, though, is that I'm pretty hooked on caffeine and am not interested in being down in bed trying to get past that. Ergo, I will continue with caffeine but will limit the amount and will reduce the amount through the period of the fast.
