Whole Grains, whole wheat and brown or wild rice (be sure there is no white rice in the wild rice), wheat/spinach wraps are ok but should be used in moderation.God tremendously favored their decision to fast and granted them favor, wisdom and insight far above anyone around them. We’re told in verse 15, “At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished then any of the young men who ate the royal food” (NIV). “Pulse” consisted of vegetables and grain, wheat, barley, rye, peas, beans and lentils.ĭaniel and the three other Hebrew youths lived a fasted life for three years on the vegetarian diet of pulse while learning and studying in the king’s court, and God honored their partial fast.
The King James Version uses the word pulse. Verse 12 says, “Please test your servants for ten days: give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink” (NIV). So, Daniel made a request of the prince of the eunuchs. In other words, Daniel rejected the rich, temptingly delicious meats, wine and pastries of the royal court, perhaps because they did not meet the requirements of Jewish dietary laws or because these youths may have taken vows against drinking alcohol.
However, verse 8 says, “But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine” (NIV). At the end of the three years they would be presented to the king. He planned to keep them on his own rich diet of meats, fats, sugary pastries and wine for three years. When these four young men were captured and taken into the king’s palace to educate them in the ways of the Chaldeans, Daniel 1:5 states, “The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the king’s table” (NIV). They were greatly favored for their purity, and they were well educated and extremely gifted both mentally and spiritually. Have a little faith and give it a try.The Daniel Fast (excerpt from “Toxic Relief” by Don Colbert, M.D.)ĭaniel and three other Hebrew youths, Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego, were Jews held in captivity, in the kingdom of Babylon. The Book of Daniel provides an ancient, yet still relevant, path to success that has recent scientific validation. Along with movement, exercise, stress management, and avoiding tobacco, the key is to change our dietary habits. We are suffering an epidemic of chronic disease in the U.S. They found that weight dropped 5.5 pounds on average, insulin sensitivity improved, insulin levels fell toward normal, and blood sugars fell from 101 mg/dl to 92 mg/dl. In a separate group of 39 subjects on the 21-day program, the scientists measured “cardiometabolic,” or heart metabolism, factors.
In other words, the diet was a great source of natural vitamins and antioxidants, no supplements needed. The same subjects showed improved markers of antioxidant status with lower oxidative stress - think of this as rusting of the body - after 21 days on the program. The researchers then reported the diet’s impact on antioxidant and oxidative stress markers, important factors in overall health.
