OVERVIEW OF THE FAST The Daniel Fast drastically restricts normal food intake by cutting away many of the foods you commonly eat to satisfy your appetite. Usually we gratify our flesh by eating what we want whenever we are hungry. During the Daniel Fast, there will be a sense of hunger much of the time and a sense of sacrifice even when we eat. SIDE EFFECTS You may experience moderate to severe headaches for the first day or two as your body rids itself of caffeine, salt, sugar and various impurities. IMPORTANT EXCEPTIONS 1. Anyone with a medical condition related to eating or under the treatment of a physician must consult their doctor first. 2. Children, especially small children, will have special needs that must be considered. Under these conditions, find some sacrifice in the area of food that can be made without endangering health. 3. Pregnant women use wisdom and discretion. If necessary, consult your physician for the proper foods to supplement a modified version of the fast. 4. If you have extreme difficulty with the fast, such as impairment of your ability to work at your job, you will have to make adjustments. BASIC GUIDELINES 1. Read the Bible daily.
