    Ditto! I love the quote by Susan Gregory: "sometimes you are so hungry that the only way you can be fed is to fast" I think she hit the nail on the head with that one!

    I've had a look at some sites, but is the whole, entire program, based on two sentences found in the book of Daniel?

    My church does this as well and my family did it last year, it was hard for me because I couldn't find a variety of recipes...we are thinking about doing it again my mother is doing it and the spiritual connection is great and much needed for my family.

    Awesome guys! So excited for it this year! I will be having a strawberry banana smoothie for breakfast. Yum!

    Daniel would be jealous

    I've never heard of it before so it's an interesting read
    “In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.” Daniel 10:2, 3

    Looks like only water as a beverage though?

    As with anything, there is debate over what is and isn't allowed. Some people drink fresh juice, but I don't. I do however allow myself smoothies. It's all about what you feel God is calling you to do. Prayerfully consider what God is calling you to do and then do it!

    Pray! Read the word! Fill yourself with God rather than food. When your body is physically hungry- eat! Www.ultimatedanielfast.com has a lot of good info and recipes!

    It's funny I found this topic, I had never heard of the Daniel fast until a couple of days ago, when a friend called to talk to me about it. I am eating a plant based, whole foods diet, so she called me to say she was doing the Daniel fast and asking for meal ideas. I am in, though it will only be a minor change in the way I eat. I don't eat bread very often, but I occasionally. I also don't do meat or any dairy at all.

    Yeah I really have to do better at adding protein. Tofu is a good source if you like it. I tend to hide it well in smoothies or other recipes where it is well-masked. :) also natural peanut butter and nuts are good sources. I am actually gluten intolerant and have found that not eating wheat makes me feel a ton better! Just know that You can have whole wheat flatbreads and whole grains on this fast...just gotta read ingredients carefully, or make your own flatbread, tortilla chips, tortillas, etc. from 100% whole grains. I just personally stay away from wheat products!

    Well I admire you a ton! I get to day 21 and wonder how I made it! Lol looks like it works great for you! What do you do for protein? Any other options you might be able to think of?

    One of my favorite (easy) recipes so far-

    Stir Fry w/ orange sauce

    3/4 cup cooked brown rice
    1 cup of mixed stir fry veggies
    1TB sesame oil
    Juice from 1/2 an orange
    1 tsp ground ginger
    1 tsp braggs liquid aminos (soy sauce alternative)

    Heat sesame oil first then add veggies and stir fry them until cooked, then add the rest of ingredients until all is combined well and hot! :)
