“Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.” Daniel 1:12
“In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.” –——Daniel 10:2, 3
Welcome! The purpose of this site is to offer valuable and complete information about the Daniel Fast. As the Daniel Fast Blogger, my #1 goal is to help you have a successful fasting experience. More and more Christian men and women are choosing the Daniel Fast as their guideline to enter into the spiritual discipline. While the Daniel Fast is a partial fast, (rather than total abstention from all food) it still provides many of the attributes of denying the self and seeking God.
This blog is designed as a “gathering place” for information and resources about the Daniel Fast to serve those seeking God in this manner. Please “cruise” the blog. Remember, this is a blog format, so you will need to page down to see all the posts. Also, leave comments if you have ideas, questions, or comments.
Also, join our Facebook community! It’s a powerful way to stay connected to others who are seeking God through an extended period of prayer and fasting.

The Daniel Fast 
Happy New Year! My hope and prayer for anyone reading these words are that you receive the amazing love your Father has for you. Dedicate this new year in your life to Him. Allow Him to lead and direct you. And bring Him into the center of all you do!
Water is the only beverage, but you can use juices in recipes, such as smoothies which are considered liquid meals.
As long as you can honestly call the beverage water, and not tea or another beverage, then you’re ok.
You don’t need organic. If you want a partial fast, I encourage you to learn about it. You can pick up the Kindle version of The Daniel Fast for just $2.99 at Amazon. Here’s the link: http://amzn.to/2Dm1gql

Do we refrain from juices, I had the idea only water is consumed ? And if so why do the smoothie recipes call for Apple and pineapple juice?
Greatly appreciate some feedback-
Hi Huseyin,
The primary question is why do you want to join the fast. If it’s for dietary reasons, then all is well. The purpose of the Daniel Fast is to draw nearer to God. We want to get to know Him more intimately and understand more of His natures.
The New Year Fasting movement is followed by millions of Christians around the world and the chosen method of extended prayer and fasting is the Daniel Fast.
I hope this helps. Be blessed
Praying for me will be my first time trying to fast.
I am finishing up my 21 day fast on the 31st and will start again on the 1st again. The Lord is good!
Is it only christians that can do the daniel diet?
Im interested to statt the Daniel fast in January 2018 for financial freedom and spiritual guidance.
The Daniel Plan has nothing to do with fasting. It’s a diet. The Daniel Fast is a method of spiritual fasting with health benefits, but the primary purpose is for spiritual growth and drawing nearer to God.
No raised breads on the Daniel Fast. You can make Chapati using whole wheat flour, water, salt and a little oil.
Praise God, Betty! I am so happy for you!
