??Prepare for your Daniel Fast
During the Daniel Fast, you will not consume any sugar or sweeteners of any kind, nor will you have any caffeine or artificial chemicals. Many people experience a physical detox during the first few days of the fast including headaches, fatigue, leg cramps and other typical symptoms.
You can reduce these effects by weaning yourself from these foods before the fast begins and also by drinking at least 1/2 gallons of filtered water each day before, during and after the fasting period.
Anytime you have concern about symptoms you may experience, be sure to contact your health professional. Fasting should never be harmful to the body!
About the Daniel Fast
The Daniel Fast is based on the fasting experiences of the Old Testament Prophet. It’s a partial fast where some foods are eaten while others are restricted. Most people use this method of fasting for 21 consecutive days.
It’s a very healthy way to eat and it’s full of nutritious and healthy foods. However, if you have special dietary needs, you should consult your health professional before you start this fast. You can then modify the fast to meet your specific health needs.
