A Simple Guide to the Daniel Fast with a Sample Meal Plan


The Daniel Fast is based on the stories in The Book of Daniel, Bible. Prophet Daniel reduced his diet for long periods in two examples, abstaining from gluttonous foods such as meat, bread, and wine, and consuming only water and simple plant-based foods (probably carrots, lentils, and beans). According to the stories, these fasting times did not only leave Daniel surprisingly stable but also packed with greater insight and knowledge about nature.

What is the Daniel Fast?

As told in the Bible, the nation of Babylon captured Daniel and his friends and took them from their homes in Jerusalem. There, they were selected by the attendants for the training and education of King Nebuchadnezzar. A privilege bestowed on only a few of the best people in Israel. As a result, they were permitted to eat from his table with some of the same rights as the king. We all have a visual of what the table of kings could look like. Choose proteins, meats, desserts, bread that are essentially all fine! Yet Daniel and his friends passed over the opportunity that they could stay faithful to the bond made with God by their nation Israel.
