Hi Susan,
Rice and soy milk are great for cooking, on cereal but not as a beverage as we are limited to water only.
God bless you on your fast.

What about juicing vegetables and fruits in their whole states? It becomes a juice but it still is the whole food.
Susan Gregory said,
January 12, 2008 at 10:36 am
Hi Jan,
Yes, all fruits and all vegetables are allowed whether fresh, frozen, dried, juiced or canned.
With all prepared foods selected on the Daniel Fast, make sure to READ THE LABEL so that they are sugar-free and chemical-free.
Blessings to you on your fast!

Hello again,
I would like to know what type of breads can be eaten on the daniels fast – My husband is eating mild organic salsa and white corn tortilla chips I am kind of leary of what he is eating – I would just like to make sure he is eating what he is suppose to eat on the daniels fast
Susan Gregory said,
February 7, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Hi Dawn,
Actually, no leavened bread is allowed on the Daniel Fast. Tortilla chips are okay if they are NOT deep fried and if they are sugar-free and chemical-free.
I hope you purchased The Daniel Fast Cookbook, which is available for immediate download. It will provide you with all the recipes, meal plans, guidelines and tips you need for the fast.
Otherwise, keep reading the posts on this site. There is a lot of information here!
Blessings to you and your husband as you seek the Lord through prayer and fasting.

I recently purchased the Daniel Fast cookbook and the 2008 daniel fast for the body, soul and spirit. This is our first 21 day fast at our church. My question is this: So many of the people in our church do not have access to the internet and have looked through your books and want a copy of it. We have about 25 people participating in the fast. Do you have a hard copy book available? If not, Is there a way to pay you for each book without downloading each time. I do no want to rob you in anyway.
Susan Gregory said,

Hi Christina,
Thank you so much for this message. I am sorry for my late reply. My computer has been giving me major problems of late, but I think it’s all good now.
Many people pay for “extra copies” of the books by just mailing a check for the appropriate amount. I so appreciate you honesty and integrity! You are a blessing to me!

Can you use vinegar? I love it on collard greens.
Thanks
Natalie
Susan Gregory said,
August 14, 2008 at 9:32 am
Hi Natalie,
Yes, you can use vinegar on the Daniel Fast. However, make sure it has no sugar or chemicals added to it.
By the way, some people wonder why vinegar is okay since it’s sometimes “red wine vinegar.” Wine is a beverage whereas vinegar is a condiment. As long as you are not drinking the vinegar
it’s okay to use on the Daniel Fast. Plus, the alcohol is gone when it turns to the vinegar used for salads.
One thing you will need to watch is chemicals and preservatives. Much of the vinegar available in the typical grocery stores includes them.
Be blessed on your fast.

We are preparing to start our 21 day fast tomorrow. We have 2 small children who are also going to participate. I know dairy is off limits, but the baby has to have his milk. What are your thoughts on this? Is allowing the baby to have milk okay or should we try him on soy or organic for the fast?
Susan Gregory said,
September 7, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Hi Candy,
Children and fasting is a different situation. As long as the child can make a conscious decision about fasting, then it’s good. But the discipline is usually used only by young people in their teens or older. Fasting should never harm or be the cause of poor nutrition. A baby looks to you for proper nutrition and cannot benefit spiritually from the restricting of foods for a spiritual purpose.
On the other hand, older children can fast from sweets, sugary cereals, etc. and be taught the principles of fasting.
So my advice is for you and your husband (and any other members of your household who are old enough to fully benefit from a total Daniel Fast) follow the Daniel Fast guidelines. The other members of your household should be on limited fast, only if they are able to understand what is going on, and even then it should be modified to assure they are receiving the nutrients they need for their growing bodies.
I hope this helps. Be blessed as you enter this powerful spiritual experience.

My church is preparing to start our annual 40 days of purpose Sept 22-Oct 31) that encompasses 21 days fo Daniel Fast(Oct 11-Oct 31).
I was overwhelmed and moved by your feedback to the posted comments. While reading the posted comments I felt the power of God moving. Fasting is powerful, whether it be 21 day Daniel fast, short fast or long fast. It is to “loose the fetters of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free.” ISA 58:6. Keep up this great ministry, I will add your link to my church’s website, and yes, I am going purchase your cook book and encourage others to do so as well. May the Lord increase you more and more.

Dear Pastor Ken,
I can’t tell you how much your words meant to me . . . I have such a deep respect for pastors. Thank you for taking the time to write and for your thoughtful words of encouragement and support.
I am honored that the Lord has entrusted this Daniel Fast blog ministry into my hands. I take it very seriously because I know FOR SURE that He gave it to me and it wasn’t just something that my little ol’ head decided to do! It was all God and to Him I give all praise, glory and credit. He is my Lord. I love Him above all things and I want to serve Him in every way He leads me to serve.
God bless you and the men, women and children our Almighty God and Father has put into your care. You too have an awesome responsibility from the Lord . . . and if there is anyway I can offer my support or assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me. As I serve you, I serve Him.
Be blessed!

Hello,
Is it ok to eat fried plaintains cooked in vegetable oil?
Susan Gregory said,
November 17, 2008 at 8:36 am
Hi Julian,
Yes, plantains are fine as long as you fry the in just a small amount of oil. What IS NOT allowed on the Daniel Fast is deep fried foods. So you be the judge . . . it all depends on how you prepare them.
I hope the best for you on your fast!

I am new to this, Just heard about the Daniel fast last sun., and want to do the 21 day fast in Jan. I will be working long hours at the end of jan., so for example if I am to eat out, I can have steamed veg., what about mashed potatoes.. since they are prepared with milk? I deal with hypoglycemia, so this will be a challenge, but necessary, I eat too much surger and caffine. Also, I have a friend who is honestly skin and bone who is determined to fast, I am concerned, and people at his church do not know the extent of him being underweight (his legs are the size of some guys arms) and he smokes too, what about cigarettes?
Susan Gregory said,
January 3, 2009 at 7:31 am
Hi Paula,
Eating in restaurants is kind of hard during the Daniel Fast. Most people stick with salads and sometimes even bring their own salad dressings. Restaurants are accustomed to this as so many people with health or diet issues bring their own dressing.
You might want to get in the habit of bringing meals to work with you. There are many great recipes available in the Daniel Fast Cookbooks that lend themselves to packing. Also, this would be a wonderful time to “set aside” for prayer and study of the Word . . . if that can happen at your work place.
I also encourage you to purchase high-sugar fruits, dried fruits, nuts and other foods that will help with your hypoglycemia. But don’t be surprised if you are healed of this ailment during the Daniel Fast. I hear from many men and women who receive their healing during their Daniel Fast.
Finally, your underweight friend can do very well on the Daniel Fast if he eats whole wheat pasta, high-sugar fruits and other whole grains. He can also eat peanut butter and nuts. Those are all high-calorie foods.
Cigarettes? Do you mean are they allowed on the Daniel Fast? NO! Wow! What a great time to receive the healing of this powerful addiction!
I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have other questions.
Paula J. said,

Onemore question, what about drinking hot water with a slice of lemon, is this allowed? And I am still a little confused about the exceptance of juiced fruit. I have a vita mix machine that I have been wanting to use for a while now and have a couple of weeks off work, so I thought I could have friut and veg in liquid form??
Susan Gregory said,
January 3, 2009 at 6:49 am
Hi Paula,
Thanks for your patience. So many people are joining the Daniel Fast Community that I have been flooded with emails. I am so thankful to see so many more people are seeking more of God in their lives.
Hot water with lemon is fine, especially to cleanse the mouth and freshen breath. Also, it’s a nice way to drink water so warm us up at this time of the year (as I write this it’s 0 degrees at my house).
The fruit juice thing is confusing, so I totally understand. Let me try to explain it: In Daniel 1 we read that the prophet and his companions ate only vegetables (and fruits) and drank only water. This is one of the foundational scriptures for the Daniel Fast. So our only beverage is water. That means no herbal teas, no soy milk and no juice. So think “beverage” and imagine water when on the Daniel Fast.
With that said, many people make “juiced meals” as a way to consume vegetables and fruits (or combinations). This would be the same with smoothies. The same applies to when we use soy milk and other alternative milks (i.e. rice or almond milk). It’s okay to use soy milk on cereal or add it to a “cream soup.” But it’s not okay to drink it as a beverage.
I know this seems like a fine line, and it is. But it will be more clear to you as you actually experience it. I think the easiest way to understand it is to remember that whenever you want a “beverage,” then choose water.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for your comments. I am underweight. How can I maintain my weight on a Daniel fast
Susan Gregory said,
January 2, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Hi Andrea,
The amazing thing about the Daniel Fast is that you can either gain or lose weight! It all has to do with caloric intake. You can have a lot of carbs on the Daniel Fast and lots of high-sugar fruits. Also dried fruit and nuts have a lot of calories. With that said, if you have special health conditions, adjust the fast to meet your physical needs.
I always pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help me with questions like this. For example, I had a hard time finding soy milk that didn’t have cane juice added to it (cane juice is sugar in liquid form). So I thought I would just “make due,” but the Holy Spirit gave me a check in my spirit. So now I go the extra mile and search out unsweetened soy milk.
I hope this helps!

HI IM STARTING MY FIRST DANIEL FAST TODAY FOR 21 DAYS I JUST WANTED TO KNOW CAN I EAT RANCH DRESSING I READ JENZTEENS FRANKLINS BOOK ON FASTING AND IT SAID YOU COULD HAVE SALAD DRESSINGS BUT RANCH HAS DAIRY IN IT JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WOULD BE OK AND SOME OF OUR YOUNG PPL ARE GOING ON THE FAST AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF THE OATMEAL YOU EAT OUT OF THE BOX THATY HAS THE FRUIT IN IT IS ACCEPTABLE IT HAS NON DAIRY CREMERS IN IT THANK YOU AND IM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BLESSINGS OUR CHURCH IS GONNA GET FROM GOD DURING THIS FAST
Susan Gregory said,
January 2, 2009 at 10:36 am
Hi Allen,
Thanks for your post! I hope the very best for you on your Daniel Fast.
You can have salad dressings made with olive oil, vinegar and citrus juices. But nothing with dairy products. There are several recipes for Daniel Fast friendly salad dressing in The Daniel Fast Cookbook – Version II which you can learn about at http://www.Daniel-Fast.com
The premixed oatmeal with flavors are not good. The usually include chemicals (like non-dairy creamers) and sweeteners, neither of which are allowed on the Daniel Fast.
I hope you spend some time on this site. Also, you can join the Daniel Fast emailing list at http://www.Daniel-Fast.com and receive all kinds of information that will be helpful for you!
I hope this helps. Be blessed on your fast.

I am delighted to find this community of believers. Our church started our 21 days of fasting today. Our whole church is not doing the Daniel Fast. I felt compelled to do this fast as I have some health issues that I am believing God to heal during this time. I have cleared this with my Man of God. I believe that this time will be great as God does a work in my body.
Originally, I had only looked at the list of foods that are included and excluded as listed on the Pastor Franklin’s weebsite. It does differ slightly from the list on this website.
I was listening to his broadcast this morning and as he was encouraging his membership concerning the fast, he made a point to state no pasta, meat and several other items, but you could have 100% fruit and vegetable juice.
This has been a source of confusion to me as this is my first time doing this fast.

I found a flatbread that has the following: is it OK:
INGREDIENTS: UNBLEACHED ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR [FLOUR, MALTED BARLEY, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE (VITAMIN B1), RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), FOLIC ACID], WHEAT GLUTEN, MINCED GARLIC, SALT, OAT FIBER, DEXTROSE, YEAST, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL*, ASCORBIC ACID, VINEGAR, NATURAL GARLIC FLAVOR, SOY LECITHIN.
*ADDS A TRIVIAL AMOUNT OF FAT.
CONTAINS WHEAT AND SOY
Susan Gregory said,
January 5, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Hi Jss,
No there is yeast in this flatbread. There is a recipe for several kinds of flat breads in The Daniel Fast Cookbook – Version II. The reason I included them is for this very example. A product seems great except for one or two ingredients. So many times we have to make our meals (and flatbreads) from scratch.
Thank for taking the time to list all the ingredients. It serves as a great example for all those on the Daniel Fast.

You can have corn right? What about corn tortillas?
Susan Gregory said,
January 9, 2009 at 8:50 am
Hi Gwen,
Yes, corn is fine to use on the Daniel Fast. I like using it with black beans and red peppers in salads. Also, in soups and rice dishes.
Corn tortillas are fine if they are made only with pure corn meal, salt and water. They are not okay if they have chemicals added or sugar. So you need to read the ingredients on the label if you are buying them in the store.
Be blessed and thanks for your question!

I have read through many many e-mails and am still quite confused as my husband and I dont have the finances to purchase the book now.When food says sugars and grams are we suppose to read that,where the ingredients are or both 0 grams and not in the ingred.?Also alot of fresh fruits and veggies have a board up with sugar grams.We dont eat very many cause it said 2 grams????HELP WE ARE SO HUNGRY!!!!Keeping the faith-AMY
Susan Gregory said,
January 10, 2009 at 9:07 am
Hi Amy,
There are two lists on the labels of prepared foods. The one we are concerned about is the INGREDIENT list. If the manufacturer has added additional sugar, honey, cane juice, chemicals, coloring, etc. as an ingredient, then it is not allowed on the Daniel Fast.
So don’t worry about the natural sugar in fruits and vegetables. For example, fresh grapes are very high in their sugar content. They are still okay to eat.
I hope this clears up the confusion.

Hi Susan,
God Bless you on this road of a 1000 question.
I have read the questions and answers on this blog of yours…great Job.
I know you can’t get to every qestion and most are repetitive again (God Bless). I did however notice that question 506 was by a 14 yr girl who’s name was Nicole and you did not answer her question on some advice since she was the only one in her family doing the daniel fast…I pray you will answer her and that she did not waver from the fast…our youth need all the encouragement we can offer them…Thank you so much for all you do…and I pray this did not offend you in any way…That was not my intention.
God Bless you, and may you have many more blessings to come throughout the year. In Christ’s Name Tammy
Susan Gregory said,

Hi Tammy,
Thanks for your kind words and for your sensitivity about 14-year-old Nicole. I had responded to her via email. Her comment was added at a time when I was flooded with comments on the blog and many responses could not be matched with the initial question.
Be blessed on your fast.

Hello and God bless you for your willingness to answer all of these questions. I along with my church are in day 5 of the Daniel Fast. I’ve gone over the different recipes on the website and found many to be appetizing. My wife has ordered the book but until it gets here, we’re still finding ways to creatively prepare some of the meals so as to not grow weary. I noticed that the website specifies that no meats are to be consumed during the fast. My question is….”Can fish or any form of crustacean be eaten during the fast since it is not considered meat”? I haven’t ingested any but wondered if it was unallowed. God bless you and thanks
Susan Gregory said,
January 27, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Hi Juan,
The only foods allowed on the Daniel Fast must have originated “from the ground.” Consequently, no fish or shellfish are allowed.
Regarding your wife’s order for the Daniel Fast Cookbooks: they are eBooks which are documents delivered via the Internet. Please contact me via email and I will resend her the download information right away.
Be blessed!

Other than tofu, are there any other significant sources of protein included in the diet? Is there any concern about deficiencies, including folic acid, during the fast–especially if a woman is pregnant?
Susan Gregory said,
May 2, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Hi Carol,
You asked: Other than tofu, are there any other significant sources of protein included in the diet? Is there any concern about deficiencies, including folic acid, during the fast–especially if a woman is pregnant?
The Daniel Fast includes plenty of protein if individuals consume beans and rice, whole grain, legumes and leafy green vegetables (when chewing on kale, spinach and the like keep in mind what cows eat and then produce beef, milk and cheese). However, I do encourage anyone with special health needs, including pregnant and nursing mothers, to review the Daniel Fast Guidelines (available at http://www.Daniel-Fast.com) and then make any necessary adjustments.
The common message I hear from those who follow the Daniel Fast is that they have never felt better in their lives. The Daniel Fast is a plant-based eating plan with plenty of fresh foods with no caffeine, chemicals, sweeteners or artificial products. When people also use portion control and add some simple exercise, the Daniel Fast is certainly a recipe for improved health.
