Hi Daniel Fast Team, Is Wheat Semolina suitable? (Couscous?) Or is this classed as a refined grain rather than a whole grain? What about rolled oats?
Daniel Fast Team said,
February 29, 2012 at 12:55 pm
Hi Hannah,
Semolina is a processed flour that the bran and germ have been removed leaving the starchy endosperm, so it’s not allowed on the Daniel Fast. Durum wheat, is another (possibly unfamiliar term) you’ll find in pasta ingredients list. Even though 100 percent durum wheat isn’t as dark of a color as something labeled “whole wheat,” it actually is a coarsely ground whole grain, so it’s allowed on the fast. For those who do not know, Couscous is a pasta . . . So look for the whole wheat variety (which is fine on the fast) and check the ingredients. You might check in the Kosher foods section of your supermarket. There is also a newer line of kosher whole wheat couscous and orzo now available. Rolled oats are also acceptable, (including Quaker) if they are 100% oats, sugar-free and chemical-free, also watch what you put on top. Be Blessed on your Fast!

I have been feeling on my heart for a long time now to draw closer to the Lord. I feel that a 21 day fast will help me on my way. I do so want to please God. I want so to seek his face more and more. Pray God will help me do this and get thru. That I will have all the right motives at heart which is Him. Thank you so much for all the information, questions and responses too. All so very helpful.

What if my husband does not consent to having sex during my fast. Should I indulge in this pleasure with him while on the fast any way or wait for another time when he will consent to not doing it while I’m on the fast with his consent. Because I believe that the scripture 1 cor 7:5 states that we should “Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.” Therefore, I feel like I cannot go on this fast, unless he gives his consent or go on the fast with me while consenting to abstain from sex. It clearly states that this is the only exception when we should not have sex. I believe that a fast is about denying oneself and seeking the Lord.
Daniel Fast Team said,
January 30, 2012 at 10:15 am
Hi Glossie,
“Marital relations do not have to stop during the Daniel Fast”…. Unless, you and your spouse “agrees” to that practice. 1 Corinthians 7:5 “Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control”. Scripture says that both the husband and wife must agree if sexual relations are to be withheld for a period of time. So, even if your husband were to join you in the Daniel Fast, the aspect of Marital relations in fasting would have to be agreed upon, since it is not a “automatic given” part of the Daniel Fast, (the two of you decide to add this in). I hope this helps, Be Blessed on your Journey!

Hi, Im wondering if i can substitute soy milk for unsweetened almond milk. thank you!
Daniel Fast Team said,
January 27, 2012 at 1:11 pm
Hi Priscilla,
Yes, any unsweetened additive free plant based milk is fine on the fast (soy, almond, rice, coconut, etc.) for use in recipes and on cereal, but the only drinking beverage is water. I hope this helps!
Mari said,

I was wondering why coffee and tea are omitted since they also come from the earth?
Thank you!
Daniel Fast Team said,
April 4, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Water is the only drinking beverage on the fast. One of the two foundational scriptures for the fast is Daniel 1:12 says, “Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and Water to drink.” This is why water is the only drinking beverage on the fast, so no caffeine free coffee or caffeine free herbal teas. I hope this helps!

I’m a very active person- as such, is it okay to continue working out while on a Daniel Fast? If so, is there a recommended limit to the amount of physical exertion I should put my body through while on the fast?
Susan Gregory said,
November 29, 2011 at 7:55 am
Hi Timothy,
We are not health professionals so you want to make sure to follow the advice of your doctor. With that said, the Daniel Fast is a very safe and nutritious way to eat (be sure to follow what is presented here and in my books as there is a lot of other erroneous teaching “out there”). You’ll want to eat a balanced menu with whole grains, legumes, green leafy vegetables and fruit (I suggest you eat bananas regularly).
Also, listen to your body. If you are working out extensively you may need to make some adjustments.
I hope this helps! Be blessed on your fast!

Is it ok for someone who has had breast cancer but did not have to take any treatnment not on any medicine take only one vitamnin a day.
Susan Gregory said,
November 22, 2011 at 4:16 am
Hi Dee,
The Daniel Fast is a very healthy way to eat. Be sure to follow the eating plan as described on this blog and/or in my book. Eat foods grown from seed and drink water. So whole grains, vegetables, fruit and other natural foods are allowed. No sweeteners, no man-made chemicals and no processed (altered or deconstructed foods) foods.
Be blessed and remember to open your heart to receive the healing that Jesus gained for you on the cross. By His stripes you were healed!
Toccara said,

Hello My name is Toccara,
Does this fast help to detoxify toxins out of your body?
Daniel Fast Team said,
October 14, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Hi Toccara,
Yes it does! Toxins come from caffeine, sugars and chemical additives in our beverages and foods, they build up and are stored in our bodies when we consume greater amounts than we are flushing out. The natural/gentle way to cleanse our bodies, is to slowly wean ourselves back and then to completely remove them from our diet, all the while increasing daily water intake. Some symptoms of detox/withdrawals can be fatigue, headaches, cramps, and joint pain to name a few. The good news is these symptoms will pass in a few days (3-7). Meanwhile, flushing your system with water will ease any discomfort and speed up the detox process. As a general guideline, your body needs half its body weight in ounces of water per day, i.e.: 160lbs = 80 oz. of water daily. Add to that amount if you are experiencing any extreme conditions such as exposure to warm or cold weather, physical exercise or Detox. So Remember……Drink Lots of Water! Be Blessed on your Journey!

can i eat any kind of condiments i.e. ketchup,mustard,salad dressing?
Daniel Fast Team said,
September 30, 2011 at 7:26 am
Hi Kiara,
Read those Ingredients labels. You will find that many foods that you never expected to have sugar, chemicals or other additives in them, in fact do! That is why I make so many of my own dressings, sauces, condiments and other food items from scratch. I do that during the fast, but also when I am not fasting. Many processed food products include chemicals and calories that we just don’t need! I make my own salad dressings for that very reason. Xanthium Gum is used to thicken and stabilize salad dressings. But it is a kind of sugar, even though in small amounts. A prepared dressing that fits the Daniel Fast is Newman’s Own Oil and Vinegar Salad Dressing. Be Blessed on your Fast!

I’m starting this fast for my daughter that God heals her from heavy reflux, she s 2months old..can u guide me with sm scripture from bible to get strong during fasting..first day tmw
Daniel Fast Team said,
September 19, 2011 at 11:20 am
Hi Yamile,
Gladly! During your Daniel Fast you will spend time drawing closer to God and studying His Word. You may already be experienced in studying the Bible and have adopted methods that will work for you. But if you are like many who feel a bit lost then it’s just them and a Bible, let me offer these tips.
Study Faith: A very powerful study is to get a concordance and look up the Scriptures about “faith.” Read and meditate each one and then ask yourself how it applies to you. Consider memorizing at least one of these verses each week.
Study and meditate on Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Psalm 34 and Psalm 91. Don’t hurry through the Scriptures. But instead read the verses slowly and ponder them. Write down insights you gain during this time.
Study the Book of John: Use your Daniel Fast time to acquaint yourself with Jesus by getting to know Him from the Book of John. Read it over and over again paying attention to Christ’s nature, His love for the Father and His love for you. Keep notes and choose a verse each week to memorize, and ask the Holy Spirit for His direction! Be Blessed on your Fast!
KR said,

Would you recommend a Daniel fast prior to a surgery like a brain tumor removal surgery? Our concern is that it will make a person weak and might not be ready for surgery?
Daniel Fast Team said,
July 18, 2011 at 7:31 am
Hi KR,
You are correct, you do not want to make any drastic changes to diet days before a major surgery. If you are several weeks away, this would give your body time to complete detoxing itself, adjust to the dietary changes and allow for the energy levels to increase and balance out. So, it all depends on how close to the surgery date you are.
Also, please keep in mind that we are not health professionals. You want to make sure to follow the advice of your earthly physician while praying to the Great Physician.
I hope this helps! Be Blessed dear one, we will be praying for you and your family!

Is sex permitted on the daniel fast if the other partner is not on the fast? I am unable to down load food shopping list.
Thank You
Daniel Fast Team said,
June 20, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Hi Verona,
Marital relations do not have to stop during the Daniel Fast, Unless, you and your spouse agrees to that practice. 1 Corinthians 7:5 “Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control”. You might consider it however, as a way to pour a very powerful element of love into your marriage. Some choose to stop sexual relations and instead serve each other with acts of kindness and care. Couples who do this find their marriage improved in ways they could not otherwise experience. Scripture says that both the husband and wife must agree if sexual relations are to be withheld for a period of time.

I was so glad i came across this website. When one is led by the Holy Spirit to go on The Daniel Fast.
Questions:
1. How many times do one eat a day?
2. Is there any set time on how many hours to fast in a day?
Daniel Fast Team said,
June 3, 2011 at 10:00 am
Hi Marquerite,
The Scriptures don’t really state an amount of food or how many meals per day that can be consumed. However, I do encourage people to keep in mind that this is a fast (restricting food for a spiritual purpose). With that in mind, eating no more than three moderate meals and two small snacks would be appropriate.
Many fasts begin at sunrise and end at sunset. However, the Daniel Fast does not require this modification to our eating patterns. If you choose to add this step to your fast, then that would still be okay, but it is not a required step for the Daniel Fast. I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit for direction and what He wants your time of fasting to look like, He is Faithful! Be Blessed in your Fast!

What is the butter-substitute spread you recommended? Prior to starting the Daniel’s Fast on March7th, I was a ovo-lacto vegetarian. Since cutting out the dairy products and sweetners I am feeling much better and have more energy. I am considering eating this way long-term.

Susan Gregory said,
April 2, 2011 at 7:54 am
Hi Jo,
Original Triscuits are okay since all the ingredients comply with the allowed foods on the Daniel Fast. Stevia is a sweetener, and even though it’s natural there are no sweeteners on the Daniel Fast.
Be blessed!

Hi Hattie,
Good for you! And I know what you mean as far as being amazed at the variety of foods available, this fast is an eye opening experience. As far as the corn nuggets, it just depends on the Ingredients and how they are cooked (most are deep fried). Be blessed and congratulations!
Sara L said,
March 14, 2011 at 2:23 pm
whats the difference between Whole Grains and Multi Grains
and is it okay to have Multi Grain?
Daniel Fast Team said,
March 16, 2011 at 4:18 pm
Hi Sara,
Whole grain products contain all the parts of the grain: the germ, which is rich in essential fatty acids and b-vitamins; the endosperm, which is mostly starch; and the bran, which, of course, is high in fiber. In products made with refined grains, on the other hand, most of the germ and bran have been removed, leaving the starchy endosperm, which is the least nutritious part of the grain. A “multi-grain” bread, for example, could be made out of several types of refined grains. Or, more likely, it’s made with lots of refined white flour and small amounts of other whole grains. (For more info) go to: http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/multi-grain-vs-whole-grain.aspx
So, the key here is to look for “Whole Grain”, Whole wheat” etc., multi grain doesn’t mean anything good Unless it says Multi Whole Grains, then you may have something! I hope this helps!
