Daniel Fast: My Top Picks
Though I’m still getting used to saying, “2013” I’m happy to live to see another year! Many people like to reset their body for optimal health by doing a fast. Fasting has varying levels– no water or food, no food, or even just abstaining from certain foods. Almost every year I participate in a 21 day Daniel Fast which can really vary from person to person. It is a great alternative for those who cannot do a full fast for medical reasons such as needing to take medication or issues with blood sugar. You still receive many benefits from this. Though I don’t believe it is mentioned, during this time I also remove salt from my diet and only sweeten food with things found in nature such as dates. 21 days is a long time and so many by about the 7th day really have no idea what they can eat! I’ve made a list of my favorite foods to consume during this time. I leave out salt and replace with 21 seasoning and lemon juice. Some people cut out oil, but I think it is a necessary part of the diet, especially at this time.
2. Naturally sweetened oatmeal
8. Stir-fry
11. Kale chips
12. Asian tofu stew
13. Cabbage soup
14. Lentil soup

That’s so impressive that you make this fast an annual thing. How many years have you done it? I tried a day long fast and it was rough! Good luck!

It’s not bad– basically vegan! I think this is my third or fourth year of his particular type of fast. I can’t really do the water no food type. Thanks!

Awesome blog! I know you fast for 21 days but do you fast all day for those 21 days??

Thank you! Yes, all day. Since it’s simply a modified diet, I won’t veer from it for the remainder of the time. There’s a short book called “The Chosen Fast” and it gives great understanding of how each type of fast works.

Ok awesome. I fast during consecration month for my church and I fast all morning and afternoon. Sometimes I feel bad because I eat when i get off work…lol.
