Daniel Fast

Is anyone else on the Daniel Fast? This is a 3 week fast. It is not only good spiritually but I find that the weight is really coming off me too.
Bro Klinedinst has a group that started this fast which started on January 2 and ends on the 23rd. The first couple of days are supposed to be the hardest, but I found that the 6th day was most difficult for me.

I have gone on 2 and 3 days fasts without any food, but this one is just fruit and veggies with no fats, sugar or dairy.

I was just curious if anyone has done this or not.

Why don't you turn around? In your avatar you look pretty fit.

That is not me. I'm no preacher... and I'm not Caucasian.

LOL. My bad.

What's the story behind the avatar? Just curious, don't answer if I'm being too nosey.

It represents where I should have been a long time ago.

And with that said, I'm going to submit a new thread in a few minutes.

I have done the Daniel Fast several times. The beginning of the fast is hard for me. I find that I feel much healthier while doing the Daniel Fast. I don't think God intended for us to consume as much sugar, fat, etc as we do.

I feel much healthier too and more energetic. I haven't had indigestion since I started this fast. Around day 6, I could have robbed a McDonald's for a greasy sausage and biscuit and I don't even care that much for sausage. The hardest thing at first was giving up my Pepsi One and sweets.

I'm hoping to start this Monday. I've got some ready to do on it and a cookbook, then I'll go shopping to get the GOOD stuff in my kitchen and get started on it.

I've eaten all the snacks and bad things I had in the house trying to clear it all out, so now I have to lose more than I did before I decided to go on the diet.... dumb.

I took most all of the BAD stuff (which left my cupboards bare!) and gave it away or just tossed it out.

As far as shopping for food, my grocery bill is not as much since I haven't spent all the money on meat. You'll make it girl!
