The Daniel Plan

Just wanted to know if anyone has tried the Daniel Plan (GOD based Diet)?

Diets just set you up to fail. LIFESTYLE CHANGES don't fail. Plus, a religious diet just sounds twice as silly.

I had no idea what this was, so I googled. Apparently it is a way for Pastor Rick Warren to make money. Dr. Oz helped to design plan, so that's a huge red flag right there that it's bunk.

The Daniel fast is a plant based diet. Look in the book of Daniel. He didn't eat the kings meat (standard American diet) but instead ate pulse and beans and looked better than the kings men after. It's what science is telling us. Eat plant based non processed healthy food. Rick Warren just repackaged it for money. Google Daniel fast instead of Daniel plan.

What science would be telling me that?

Not about to get into a pissing match about it. Too many people on here do that. I'm sure there is another post where you can find the info if you want. To each his/ her own. If you want to know he science you can of it yourself and make your own decision. I'm convinced and it's working for me.

Science doesn't tell us that at all. Also, "looked better" is very much a matter of preference.

I have a friend who did it and it worked for her. I do think the combining the spiritual reflection and the effort to eat well chosen food was a good approach. I find that, when I don't care for myself emotionally and spiritually, I get stressed and overeat. I am clear that I need sensible guidelines about what to eat, accountability for what I eat and peace of mind to succeed at losing weight and gaining health.

Don't pay attention to those who dismiss it out of hand with no experience. Do YOU.

I love the idea of a God-based diet. You have to subsist on prayers and sacrifices and the terror and/or adoration of your flock.

Science is telling us that in Daniel's time, people ate a "standard American diet" but Daniel looked better because he ate beans?

You actually believe this, right?

I was about to ask virtually the same question.

Then why was Jesus passing out loaves of bread and fish? Turning water into wine?

That was before the crucifixion. Doesn't count.

is the book of daniel a scientific journal? I'm not familiar with it.

This a religious fast not a diet plan. Though it could be I don't think most people could sustain it.

Ok, so no meat eating just sacrificing animals to an angry god while you eat beans?

Mixing religion with diet plans? This can only end well. I am so in.
