2019 | The Daniel Fast: Do's and Don'ts

We’re doing the Daniel Fast!  EEK!!! 😬

As we embark on a new year, we want to take our spiritual, physical, and emotional health to a whole new level, so we’ve decided one way we can do that is via the Daniel Fast.  

We’d thought we share the guidelines for the fast + how we plan to make the full 21 days on it!

Junk you can’t eat:

• Iodized salt
• Sweeteners
• Meat
• Dairy products
• Breads, pasta, flour, crackers (unless made from sprouted ancient grains)
• Cookies and other baked goods
• Oils
• Juices
• Coffee
• Energy drinks
• Gum
• Mints
• Candy

Goodies you can eat:

Beverages

• Water only — it must be purified/filtered; spring or distilled water is best
• Homemade almond milk, coconut water, coconut kefir and vegetable juice

Vegetables (should form the basis of the fast)

• Fresh or cooked
• May be frozen and cooked but not canned

Fruits (consume in moderation 1–3 servings daily)

• Fresh and cooked
• Ideally low glycemic index fruits like stone fruits, apples, berries, cherries and citrus fruits

Whole grains (consume in moderation and ideally sprouted)

• Brown rice, oats quinoa, millet, amaranth, buckwheat, barley cooked in water

Beans & Legumes (consume in moderation)

• Dried and cooked in water
• May be consumed from can as long as no salt or other additives are contained and the only ingredients are beans and water

Nuts & Seeds (sprouted are best)

Praying for these things during the fast:

A closer relationship with God | New anointing to reach others through the gifts He has given us | Direction for Beacon Threads via the designs and accessories we will add to the shop | To be a better spouse/parent/sibling/friend than we were last year
