Fasting and nutrition

[Combatchuc11]

I looked around online for information on fasting and what concepts people had concerning it, but couldn't find anything about the use of nutritional supplements. I found stuff on absolute (no food or liquids)fasting, water fasting, and juice fasting, but nothing said anything about the intake of vitamin supplements or protein supplements. I was wondering what opinions other people had on fasting, but taking some supplements.

If you want to get into fasting you should try the eating course at www.settingcaptivesfree.com The Lord's Table course is excellent for people who want to fast.

The Lord's table is really a course for those with unhealthy eating obsessions, not nessecarily for someone who wants a healthy way to fast.

It is also for people who want to learn about fasting as it's Biblical based and you fast almost half the time with half-fasts, water fasts and 1 meal a day fasts. Good for anyone who wants to learn about true fasting, or has food issues

If someone wants to take vitamins that is entirely up to them, the purpose of a fast is for reliance on God and His strength, when our strength is not up properly like with proper food, also fasts will turn you to rely on God for the power to fast and bring one closer to God.
