THIS IS DAY 12 OF THE DANIEL FAST!
well, in case you all were wondering, i'm still plugging along on the fast. I think i'm going to finish the entire 21 days, as it's not so hard as it was in the beginning. For those of you who do not know what this fast it all about, it's in the Bible, the book of Daniel. Daniel does this fast of nothing but fruit, nuts and vegetables, to prove to his captor that he would be healthier than the other subjects, who were dining on unpure delicacies of that time period. He also used this fast as a cleansing method in another section of that book. So...here I am 12 days later, all Daniel-like and detoxed from dairy, processed foods, meat, grains, sugar, or anything else that has crept into our modern daily diets!
I have to say that the journey has been a bit of a struggle but overall it has been worth it. I didn't do this as a diet thing, but as it was intended to be; a fast for spiritual cleansing. Fortunately, it has killed two birds with one stone, though! I've lost weight, but the good kind of weight loss, where FAT has been the only thing melting off and in all the right places! I learned something! I feel better!! Mental clarity is at its best, digestive system working properly and no longer sluggish. The best part is that I'm energetic and bouncy (I've always been that way, but it's even stronger than before!)
My recommendations; TRY IT! you'll lose weight fo sho!
ok, so that's the update!

You sure sound good BadAndy, I think I remember you did some Daniel Fasting about a year or so ago (I *think* it was you). Anyway, fruit, nuts, and vegetables sound like an excellent combination to me. Maybe I will follow Daniel for a while a little further down the road. Keep up the excellent work!

I thought the Daniel Fast was when you jump into the lion's den and the run real FAST to get away from the lions! Burns lots of calories! :) Glad to see you around, BA!

I've had so many good Daniel friends in my life from boyhood to adulthood. Maybe I'll give it a try. Not one of them was a rotten egg really. There's some other names I won't mention (one woman's name...) Oh, well. Every woman I met with that name was nasty to me. I'll try the Daniel fast maybe once I'm below maintenance on SBD... :)

BadAndee I am trying to think of what I would eat on a daily basis if I was on that detox. What is an average do for you, and have you been eating the same things day in and day out?

That diet sounds right up my alley. Would I be allowed to drink wine? After all it is only grapes. Right? Please keep me informed how it is working for you.
