Can diabetics use this diet?

I tried the Daniel Fast once, and my stomach got SO upset, I had to go off of it. Not sure what I did wrong.

Anyway, our church started a 21 day fast Monday, so I'm still in the "hard" part. I felt like the Lord told me to give up meat and sweets. So I'm living on salads, bean soup, oatmeal, things like that. It's not too awfully, except I'm CRAVING chocolate, and I love desserts! After the first week, it will be easier.

I'm trying to stay away from all refined sugar and flour too. Basically eat much healthier. I've already lost about five pounds since Monday, so there will be those much needed advantages too.

Did a search and it said with a few modification you should be able to - but, of course, ask your doctor first.

I don't know Cindy, but Google the Daniel Fast and you'll probably find what you are looking for. Are you diabetic?

as you start any fast, whether it's a partial fast or a complete fast - any deprivation to your body will cause withdrawals and detox like symptoms.

But it's good for you to get that mess out of your system.

I had to do a 14 day CLEAR liquid diet a few months back to prepare for surgery - it ws so hard at first but I got used to it soon enough and actually felt great. It cut the cravings, totally gave up soda, coffee, fats, sugars...all that.

I highly recommend a fast of some sort not only for spiritual reasons but for health and to kick start any diet.

We are fasting *entertainment* next week. This week is sweets, last week was red meat.

While reading in Daniel on Dec 3th, God began to deal with me...it was about meat and sweets too!! I went 21 days and ended on Christmas eve with the Daniel's fast. I lost about 5lbs through Christmas season which was amazing for me as I love to bake and eat what I bake!!

Jan 5th, I started back on some what of a Daniel's fast.... only thing is I allow one serving of fish a day if I want...and also am eating Ezekial bread...

Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Products are:

Flourless,
Organic,
Complete Protein,
and Sprouted Whole Grain
We discovered when these six grains and legumes are sprouted and combined, an amazing thing happens. A complete protein is created that closely parallels the protein found in milk and eggs. In fact, the protein quality is so high, that it is 84.3% as efficient as the highest recognized source of protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. There are 18 amino acids present in this unique bread – from all vegetable sources – naturally balanced in nature.

Ezekiel 4:9® Bread, made from freshly sprouted organically grown grains, is naturally flavorful and bursting with nutrients. Rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and natural fiber with no added fat. Try it served warm to release its exceptionally rich nutty flavor.
