The Daniel Fast
Perhaps the most popular fast, the Daniel Fast which consists of all natural food items including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, raw nuts. This fast excludes added sugars, meats, and dairy.
Liquid Fast
During a liquid fast, you dramatically decrease your caloric intake while staying hydrated with water, juice, or broth. Typically, you should avoid dairy products and solid foods in this type of fast. All natural fruit or vegetable juices are acceptable.
Detox Fast
The Detox fast is designed for you to benefit your spiritual and physical health. With just four simple ingredients, this fast gives your body the calories and energy it needs to make it through the day.
Detox Fast
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
- 8 to 12 ounces purified or spring water
Personal Fast
This fast helps you to refocus in certain areas of your life by giving up something that hinders you from accomplishing God’s purpose for you. For example, you may give up social media for 21 days and monitor how you re-incorporate it into your life.
**Check with your physician before participating in any fast**
