Day 1 Daniel Fast

So my husband and I decided to do what is known as Daniel's Fast. Now this fast can be modified some for whomever decides to go on this fast. It is a fast that usually lasts 3 weeks at a time, mostly a vegetarian diet, without added sugars etc.

There are websites and books you can view to get a list of what all is usually acceptable to eat and drink while on the fast.A pretty normal list of what you can have would be:

• All fruits
• All veggies
• Whole grains
• All legumes
• All nuts and seeds
• All quality oils
• Seasonings
• Beverages (water)
• Tofu and soy products

Now that is what you can have. Like I said you can modify it a little depending on how much into you want to go. This is based of a biblical fast from Daniel in the bible. He did his fast for a much more spiritual reason.

Now foods not to consume while on the fast:

• All meat products
• All dairy
• All sweeteners
• All leavened bread
• All refined/processed food
• All deep fried foods
• All solid fats
• Beverages (coffee, tea, herbal teas, carbonated beverages, energy drinks, and alcohol.)
• Fast food would be included in this list

So for my day 1. 

I had :

Breakfast: Apple Rhubarb Crisp, and a banana

snack: golden honey dew melon

Lunch: carrots, celery, with hummus

snack: Pureed Apple tube (x2) and mini rice cakes

Dinner: Sweet potato and Quinoa chili

(recipes with pictures soon to follow for the breakfast dish and dinner)

Day 2 is already starting for me really early this morning/

We are only doing this for 1 week instead of 3. Our goal is to do it for 1 week each month. wish us luck!
