Not eating all the grains either, because I don't eat carbs... just sticking to the veggies, which have enough carbs as it is.... this is more like a spiritual, mental and physical cleanse.
That eliminates almost everything on the list except for the oils, the beverages, and the salt. Yum.7 -
Well my normal diet is no carbs, sweets, fried food, junk food and I don't drink my calories.... not going to change that... just going to eliminate even more food....0

Not sure why you'd want to do that2 -

I think the confusion is that fruits and vegetables are mostly carbs and generally considered carbs. I assume you mean something else like starchy foods?
Personally I think lots of carbs (including the starchier ones) are extremely healthful, as well as delicious, but if you don't want to eat them for any number of reasons that's totally cool. Only bringing it up because it came up, not to be critical at all.3 -
I did it last year and lost 12 lbs in 21 days no excercise. I was 170 lbs when I did it and I am 5'2. I limited my intake of grains and skipped on the nuts tho1

With all those food rules you may want to talk to a professional. Seriously. Your post worries me.4 -

You regularly fast 1-2 days a week? That's not healthy hun, please talk to someone close to you about this or see your doctor.4 -

I don't see any way to do the Daniel Fast without consuming any carbohydrates. You'd wind up eliminating virtually everything and having . . . oil?4 -

A few things to consider:
1) The true Daniel fast (the fast Daniel did in the Bible) was done for strictly spiritual reasons. No bodily health/nutritional benefits were ever intended or implied.
2) The eating plan prescribed here is not in line with the real Daniel fast. Daniel abstained from bread (no whole grains), meat and wine. He also remained in a state of mourning and didn't clean himself up. That's all there was to it from what the Bible tells us.
3) Daniel only fasted for 3 weeks (21 days), not for 30 days.
ETA: Daniel definitely didn't take Bragg's Liquid Aminos.15 -
So you don't eat Daniels?0

As long as your overall intake is sufficient and nutritional needs are met, there is nothing wrong with fasting a full day once or twice a week. In fact, this is one method many use for Intermittent Fasting.2 -

What about Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, "With The Mother"?
I hear it helps with weight loss and will mow your lawn for you.7 -
