Message: <blockquote data-quote="jcizzle" data-source="post: 2050904" data-attributes="member: 18220">Any fast can be good if you call on God and spend time in prayer when those urges/cravings come in.  That's what it's for.  The Daniel Fast has personally put a sour taste in my mouth (no pun intended) though.  Our church's staff did it and they encouraged members to join a few years ago and every year since.  After hearing them complain about their supposed joyous sacrifice for God and brag about accomplishing it.  Then them focusing on the lost weight and endearingly calling it the "Daniel Diet", I didn't want to be a part of that.  My wife and I fast from time to time and sometimes individually.  The items are different depending on what I'm into at the time (caffine, video games, solid foods).  Always kept private as to focus on God and not seek empathy of others.</blockquote>
