BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS* Keep it very simple, clean and PALEO

Consider that a fish , salad, and veggie diet is more than enough sacrifice for nearly everyone Wild Caught fish-all types, Veggies~lightly

steamed or cooked gently, Salads (avoid Iceburg lettuce)

Fresh squeezed veggie Juices 5 small meals, daily

A Colon Detox Program, as recommended by a nutritional coach (optional)

•(Factors considerations for diabetics, those who are not aware that they are diabetic, and individuals with other medical challenges, who may not be able to tolerate abstinence or a fast

restricted to beans and lentils. Both drastically raise blood sugar) Serenity Weight loss and Detoxification Program© (404) 445-8579

What is THE DANIEL FAST?: Some food for thought

• The bible does not reference a “DANIEL FAST” [Daniel 10] ~ the word “fast” is not used

• Daniel 10: 2 [message} “I, Daniel, went into morning over Jerusalem for 3 weeks (21 days)

• Daniel 10: 3 [message] “ I ate only plain and simple food, no seasoning or meat or wine….I neither bathed nor shaved until the three weeks were up” Consider: This is a description of a distraught, depressed man who had just had a vision of a terrible war. Do we copy the grooming habits as well?

• ISAIAH 58, for the best general scriptural reference for the purpose of fasting
