Trying to implement this everyday and praying for God to bring revival in my life! Thanks for the message Doctor.

[@fruitopia5461]

Wow! I’m so grateful finally a Christian doctor is talking about this!! I did the Daniel Fast 8 years ago! And felt so great and healthy I stayed vegan. It’s been a big blessing in my life. Now I look and feel younger at 43 than I did when I was 25 and I thank God for it everyday! 🙌🏼💕🍒🍉🍊🍌🥥🥝🍓🍍🍇🌱

@@typower9 -The Daniel diet TEST without meat and sugary wine was only 10 DAYS, and caused FATNESS (uncorrupted translation). God's laws on eating meat make people strong, healthy and lean, not fat and bloated. Dan1.12,15 “Please test your servants for TEN DAYS, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. .. 15 And at the end of ten days their features APPEARED PLEASANT and FATTER in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king’s delicacies.

[@TruthChristians]

Gen9.3-4 Every MOVING thing that lives shall be FOOD for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. Heb9.22 ... almost all things are purified with BLOOD, and without shedding of blood there is NO FORGIVENESS.

[@TruthChristians]

-Rom14.2b 'the one who is weak, eats only vegetables.' Vegetarian is mostly practiced and demanded! by followers of the feminist religion whose agenda is mostly antichrist. Weak minded feminist vegetarians won't squash a pesky bug, but are loudest demanders of murd-ering unborn babies via tax money.

I do the Daniel fast every year for the past 5 years. It’s a great way to recenter in faith while consuming nourishing whole foods and purging all the sweets and unhealthy foods from the holidays out. I’m on day 4 and finally starting to feel more energetic. I use this time to lean into the Lord and His strength

[@PlantBasedPrimary]

The Daniel Fast is also known as the whole food plant based (WFPB) diet. I adopted this as a lifestyle, rather than a fast. This lifestyle has dropped my A1C and cholesterol back into a healthy range, resolved my migraines, asthma and eczema, I have lost 35 lbs and am back at my high school weight! Every cell in our bodies is a beautiful creation of God, and as such deserve our care and reverence! Do that and receive God’s blessings. ✨

I have not been able to be regular for years and i mean years. I started the Daniel fast 1 week agao and i have been able to use the restroon everyday without needing teas and such, this is life changing for me because for years I have had to use special teas to have regular bowl movements and i am actually a healthy eater so it always baffled me that I was not consistent, fruits and veggies was and has always been a hi part of my regular diet and i don't use sugar so i was always confused why i could not go consistently. since cutting cutting out meat and going very high natural grains life has changed and I am so happy for the Daniel Fast! God is good.

I felt called to take this challenge on before I’d seen your video. I began slowly and my 1st 2 days I was still consuming bone broth but the last 3 days I stuck entirely to the Daniel Fast with all the great and varied raw/whole food veggies, fruits, nuts and legumes. I found some dinner recipes online when I was struggling to come up with ideas outside of just a mixed green salad and let me tell you, all my meals were super flavorful and satisfying. I was averaging about 1,200-1,400 calories in and about 2,500 out as I’d also committed to daily walks of at least 30-45 minutes. After my 5th day I was down 5lbs. The best part though was just how my entire being felt..I felt closer to God, I’ve prayed more and been able to bless others through that prayer and my body responded so well, I slept better, I smelled less foul after a night of sleep and I had a lot of energy. I never felt deprived and I truly believe this is how we are meant to eat. I still love seafood a lot! I’ve since had some seafood and even had a day of dairy again but I went almost immediately back into old terrible symptoms of GERD, upset stomach and fatigue. I’m now trying my darnedest to get back into it but boy am I being tempted with my fleshly desires to just ignore it and give in to my old habits that I know are terrible for me. So hence, I am reaching out to the KZbin world to regain some passion to get back on track.

I find it hilarious how much the popular culture is warping what was initially a medical term with strictly defined parameters. The term "fasting" implies you're not eating, anything, period. It also implies that you haven't eaten in the last 12 hours at least, otherwise you're not in a "fasted state", but in a "fed state".
