Introduction
The Daniel Fast – A Whole Body Experience
The Daniel Fast brings health to every part of you! You are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. And the Daniel Fast is an excel ent tool to bring increase and goodness to al ofwho you are!Our spirits are fed from the Word of God. So during the Daniel Fast, many wil give extra food to their spirits byincreasing the time and attention they give to God's Word. Meanwhile, it is the soul that wil bring up the fightduring the Fast. You wil experience this fight when you have to make a choice to push through the hunger pangsand the cravings. Or when you want to have "just one little bite of that bread," even though it's against the fastingguidelines . . . after-al , no one is looking! The choice to push through and "quiet the soul" is your spirit taking precedence over your soul -- or another way ofsaying it is "living a spirit-led life." One of the primary benefits of the Fast is that your soul gets "put in its place,"which is under the control of your spirit. What controls your spirit? God and His Word! Final y, the body. It wil dosome kicking and screaming, at first. The body wil want the usual amount of food . . . and when it doesn't get it, itwil send out hunger pangs to the brain (the soul receives those messages). When your body doesn't get thecaffeine it has come so used to, it might send out an alert by way of a headache! But soon, the body too wil comeinto line and benefit from the goodness of the foods in the Daniel Fast. In fact, you might even get some rebellionfrom our body after the fast when you introduce foods that it's kind of liked doing without! During the Fast yourbody wil begin working more efficiently as it receives foods more easily digested, lots of refreshing water, and noartificial chemicals! So the Daniel Fast is a whole-body-experience! It brings health and strength to the spirit, itbrings health and control to the soul, and it brings health and good foods to the body!

Remember, READ THE LABELS! Tips from the Daniel Fast Blogger, Susan Gregory in Daniel Fast Cookbook, 2008
1. I plan my meals for the week in the kitchen where I can see what ingredients I have and can make use of 2. As I plan my meals, I write my shopping list3. I hit the grocery stores (stocking up on any foods that are on sale that I use frequently, including the ready-to-eat boxed organic soups, canned beans, and frozen vegetables).
4. Back home I wash, trim and store al my fresh vegetables so they are ready to make salads during the 5. In the kitchen I put on some great music or I listen to my audio Bible while I cook soups, sauces, casseroles and other dishes for the next week’s meals. I also double recipes that freeze wel .
Cook Once – Eat Twice – Most of the recipes in the 2008 Daniel Fast Cookbook are easy to double and they store
wel , either in the refrigerator for a few days or in the freezer! So why not cook once, double the recipe, and then
have a meal already prepared for later! Having food available wil help you be successful on the fast.
