This is a different type of fast and I'm expecting some different changes. I'm really excited about it. So let's do our part and allow God to do what He wants to do in our lives and in the life of the church.<br /><br />Be Strong and have a wonderful day<br /><br />I see that dried fruit is okay on our list of what we can eat, but it's loaded with sugar. Is it the natural sugar from the fruit that makes it okay to eat? I didn't buy any because of the sugar. Let me know if it's okay.<br /><br />Also, I went to Costco's and found roasted peppers that are good and crackers. The brand for the crackers is "Back to Nature" Organic Stoneground Wheats. Baked wheat and flax seed crackers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541311859692193601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189062399740865321.post-19115649795498500402009-08-31T18:06:51.588-07:002009-08-31T18:06:51.588-07:00Thank you all so much for sharing information to h...Thank you all so much for sharing information to help me/us get started on the fast.

But we don't have to eat a cow to get a complete protein. Plant based proteins are often incomplete and need to be mixed with other plant based protein to make a complete proteins. To make a complete plant based protein, try the following combinations:<br /><br />Black beans with corn and/or brown rice<br />Peanut butter with whole grains (try mixing peanut butter in with the oat meal)<br />Whole wheat pasta with hemp seeds or any other type of nuts and tomato sauce<br />Lentil soup with a side of almonds.<br /><br />Hemp protein is a whole/complete protein providing the at least 10 amino acids that are not produce by the human body. So its good to have a hemp protein smoothie at least twice a day...some brands offer 13 grams or more of protein per serving. Another bonus with the hemp protein is that it offers a lot of fiber per serving - a whopping 9 grams in some brands<br /><br /><br />If you see the following ingredients on the product label...put it back and keep on looking:<br /><br />Xanthan Gum (a polysaccharide - aqua sugar)<br />Brown Rice Syrup (and any other ingredient with syrup in the name)<br />Evaporated Cane Juice (just like candy)<br />Barley Malt (sweet stuff)<br /><br />This is my short list... I will update as we continue on...<br /><br />Get on your mark...Get Set...Daniel Fast!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189062399740865321.post-79109127574270921132009-08-30T18:28:27.967-07:002009-08-30T18:28:27.967-07:00okay so i'll be participating the in daniel fa...okay so i'll be participating the in daniel fast (aka: the squirrel diet) and i'm HUNGRY ALREADY!!! but enough about me...here is one thing to keep in mind: the daniel diet could cause a deficiency in vitamin B12, omega-3, calcium and iron. so please take vitamin supplements. <br /><br />food has never been an issue for me...but cooking has. during this fast i'll be forced to plan ahead and cook for myself, this will save a lot of money and i will force me to pay attention to what i'm putting into my body. so that will be my struggle. as for the sweets, rev. st.clair is on point, dried fruits are good for that...i'm always eating dried apricots at home...they are sooooo good!rev. babydollnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189062399740865321.post-58783976082639638452009-08-30T16:07:30.246-07:002009-08-30T16:07:30.246-07:00Hi there my fellow Daniel Fast friends. Thank you ...Hi there my fellow Daniel Fast friends. Thank you Rev Raquel for getting us started with some healthy tips. <br /> I am excited about the Daniel Fast because I too am a sweet addict who has been on a personal Detox plan for the last 3 weeks to be delivered from sweets and other carbs. Folks let me tell you that our cravings are mind over matter. I didn't think I would be able to live without something sweet; but 3 weeks later I am substituting the sweet cravings with dried fruit (no added sugar), baked apples and pears with spinkled cinnamon, watermelon, bananas and complex healthy carbs. <br /> <br />Here are some other things that I have done during my Detox that can be used while on the Daniel Fast:<br /><br />Energy Drink<br /><br />I drink this in the morning before I go to the gym<br />3 whole beets stems and leaves<br />2 whole carrots <br />1 apple<br />Make sure to always mix Beet juice with other juices, experiment to develop your own blend.<br /><br />Breakfast Smoothies <br /><br />Hemp milk (vanilla or chocolate) (alternative to rice or soy milk)<br />1 scoop of Hemp protein (vanilla or chocolate) (beware whey protein has dairy)<br />Frozen fruits (your choice, I use fresh and then freeze them)<br />Melting ice if you want a frosty like smoothie<br />1 tablespoon of organic flax seeds<br />1 teaspoon of wheatgrass<br /><br />Steamed Broccoli w/natural almonds or sesame seeds<br /><br />Fresh broccoli florets<br />Flaxseed or extra virgin olive oil<br />Fresh Lemon juice<br />Balsamic Vinegar<br />Shredded CarrotsSteam broccoli and carrots in water and lemon juice for 3-5 minutes (still crunchy)<br /><br />Toss oil and almonds or sesame seeds with balsamic vinegar and pour over broccoli and carrots<br /><br />ENJOY and be blessed<br /><br />Below I have posted all the names of dairy products so that when reading labels you will know what to avoid:<br /><br />Avoid foods with these ingredients:<br /> Artificial Butter Flavor<br /> Butter, Butter Fat, Butter Oil<br /> Buttermilk<br /> Casein<br /> Caseinates (ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium)<br /> Cheese<br /> Cream<br /> Cottage Cheese<br /> Curds<br /> Custard<br /> Ghee<br /> Half & Half<br /> Hydrolysates (casein, milk protein, protein, whey, whey protein)<br /> Lactalbumin<br /> Lactalbumin Phosphate<br /> Lactoglobulin<br /> Lactose<br /> Lactulose<br /> Milk (derivative, powder, protein, solids, malted, condensed, evaporated, dry, whole, low-fat, milkfat, non-fat, skimmed, and goat's milk)<br /> Nougat<br /> Pudding<br /> Rennet Casein<br /> Sour Cream, Sour Cream Solids<br /> Sour Milk Solids<br /> Whey (in all forms including sweet, delactosed, protein concentrate)<br /> Yogurt<br />May contain milk protein:<br /> Flavorings (including natural and artificial)<br /> Chocolate<br /> High Protein Flour<br /> Luncheon Meat, Hot Dogs, Sausages<br /> Margarine<br /> Simplesse<br /> Starter DistillateCarin Burwellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189062399740865321.post-24660697785404034142009-08-30T06:26:28.910-07:002009-08-30T06:26:28.910-07:00Thanks for the information, I will follow what you...Thanks for the information, I will follow what you have and look for more information to share as well.Debbie Thomasnoreply@blogger.com
