21 Days of Prayer - Fast Foodlist

BLAND VEGETABLE DIET

 

I’m not comfortable initiating a Complete Fast (abstinence of all food and water), a Liquid Fast that makes it difficult to determine which liquids are allowed and which are not or a Partial Fast that skips breakfast and lunch allowing dinner, that in most cases leads to overindulgence once a day.

 

However, I do feel comfortable calling a Bland Vegetable Diet, which many consider the Daniel Fast. My variation of this familiar fast allows eating certain fruits, grains, nuts and protein that will promote “clean-eating” when the fast is over.  My Bland Vegetable Diet Fast is moderate, healthy and will definitely assist you in achieving higher spiritual awareness as you abstain from your favorite meats and savory cuisines.
