Have you tried the Daniel's Fast. Do you have any advice, recipes? I am going to go on this fast for spiritual purposes. I realize that It will have a health benefit as well. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

It is pretty much a vegan diet. No meat, animal products, solid fats (butter), breads. You can eat fruits, veggies, grains, unlevened bread like wheat tortillas and only water.

    Hi CDoug. My church participates in this every year. I've done it a couple times but this year I decided to give up TV & FB and just remove certain foods from my diet. Here's a link to the Daniel Fast page of the church: http://enontab.org/40days/

    Good luck and God bless you on your journey!

    I have a friend who swears by it and does it frequently. Don't think she's noticed a whole lot of weight loss benefit, but she's close to her GW so it wouldn't be obvious to her anyway. Can't see how it would be harmful!

    I went on a Daniel Fast last February and it was one of the most amazing spiritual experiences! It was HARD sticking with it, but learning to turn to the Lord during those temptations was well worth it. I pinned several Daniel fast friendly recipes on this board: http://pinterest.com/katmack/healthy-recipes/, check closer to the bottom, cause the newer ones are not necessarily DF.
