The 21 day Daniel Fast

[jacque1282]

Any of you out there ever try this? A few members of our church are starting it on the 13th. I plan on it too, just thought I'd get some advice from others on how to get through 3 weeks of no meat if you'd tried it. Here's a link describing it a little more. This is my first experience with any type of fasting.

Yes, I ate guacamole every day and pringles. It sucks!

If the point of that fast is to get closer to God, it would work for me because I think I would die if I went three weeks without meat!

Yeah, not gonna happen.

I have a friend who is doing that same thing. Good luck with it.

I can't go three meals without some kind of meat. Good luck to anyone trying this, as it would be tough.

Three weeks seems impossible now but it is very doable. If your mind and heart are in the right places, it can be done almost gladly. I haven't done this fast but it sounds pretty strict about not eating meat or anything favorable. I might try a getting some good bakery bread, rice, beans, potatoes and soy beans. It certainly will be a tough thing to do but it's not a real fast unless you sacrifice and suffer just a bit. I am sure your reward will be astonishing when it's over.

Our church in Lawton (LFA) does this every year. Water, fruits and veggies. It is really not that hard. Just takes some planning.

I've been meatless for almost four years. I no longer miss it. (Okay, I eat Buffalo Wings every now and then)

Me and some of my family are on it right now. Started on January 2nd. I do allow myself coffee in the morning but have had no meat or sugars, aside from the sugars in the fruit. Corn tortilla chips and salsa are allowed so not all it lost.

planning is the hard part. I just make sure to have some peanuts or other nuts and a few pieces of fruit with me all the time incase im out and about and get hungry.
