The Daniel Plan — www. Each of these areas is connected to each other, and it is necessary for a participant to be active in these areas in order to succeed in creating a healthy lifestyle. You can eat any kind of food in this program as long as it is a natural whole food, not a man-made, processed food.
The key to success is Faith and Friends because people benefit more when they are making healthy lifestyle changes with a supportive group of friends and fellow Christian believers.
The Daniel Fast — www. The Daniel Fast is not necessarily a weight loss program, although you will lose some weight, nor is it a lifestyle changing program. The goal of this program is for you to feel a deeper spiritual commitment to God as you cleanse your mind, body, and soul through sacrifice, prayer, and daily Bible reading.
You will also be avoiding toxins, such as water and toothpaste with fluoride, and limiting exposure to devices with electromagnetic fields such as cell phones, microwaves, and X-rays.

She calls it the Division of Repsonsiblity. So neat to see it in action! I hope it helps some Moms out there. I was at a dinner one time with a large group that included several children. My boys were eating a wide variety of vegetables on offer; the woman sitting next to me said she wished her boys would eat vegetables. The only way they would eat them was raw! She was amazed when I told her that raw was better than cooked!.
Thanks you for the blog. I like many others have been stuck. In the dieting cycles for a long a we can remember. I decided to reset my life and spend more time in pray with God. He and I are so close now. He is truly My Savior.
My addiction with food has been so bad I took it to God. Today I cannot eat anything with wheat or sugar without getting a rash or itching. I feel so much better and am more active. Praise to the Lord. Welcome, Lisa. Anxiety around food is no fun and I believe that He will lead you into a peaceful relationship with the blessing that is food.
Praying for you now! Stumbled across this just looking for Christian advice for losing weight. As many of us, I have failed every diet there is. I have felt the pressure even more after I gained 70 lbs with my daughter. I realized before I need to start tackling losing weight, I need to look at why I fail. For starters, God was not my first priority in my physical health or mental. I am an emotional eater and as well as when I am in pain I will eat. This helped me to realize the center of this is God and his grace.
I appreciate your words and hope it continues to help others. God Bless You! I have goosebumps reading this, Jennie! Praise God for bringing you here and giving you a sneak peek into His plans for your health and weight loss! What a way to connect Scripture to us, our daily habits and lives. I was most inspired and encouraged by this post, thank you. It is full of Gods wisdom, and grace. For someone who strives to live this way, and yet I was still left to think about the depth behind it all.
God be with you, thank you! Saved, to share with people I love. Jesus said that He did not come here to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. Jesus was tempted by none other than the adversary created by God for that very reason. To test us while always giving us a way to defeat the adversary- call upon the Lord! I am curious as to why, driving by those McFlurry places that you did not understand that you were being tempted! It appears as though you seek relief in a world that is under the influence of the adversary.
They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. Habit no longer can save a soul as much as it can create one. Again, I am not perfect as I was born with a wicked heart and I often stumble. The path is narrow and I pray to God to keep me on that path.
He is the only one who can. First if I succeed in resisting I will praise the Lord. Secondly, when I fail I also praise God because He cares enough to test me which is a blessing since I am a sinner and God is giving me an opportunity to repent the way He told told us to…. Hey there! BUT, my diet-drenched mind needed this perspective. Thanks for your concern! Thank you for the reply. I am happy to believe that you did not consider my response as hostile.
I was a Marine and I still communicate like one. No fluff in a statement. Some get easily offended. Again, thank you for this dialog. Which means you need to pray to the Lord and ask Him to remove that seed of doubt planted by the adversary. I write that to avoid saying, vanity. Or pride. I still cannot understand why, if you made such a commitment to reject McFlurries, that you did not recognize your temptations while driving past those unhealthy, body destroying places as just that. From satan.
Here is where I am coming from. I married a woman who was in AA for 20 plus years. The program centers around establishing a relationship with God, asking forgiveness for the past while keeping your relationship with Him going forward.
To champion false ways, will condemn your soul for leading others astray. Get the Big Book and read it. It is not limited to Alcohol abuse and it is a very good source to help the lost find God.
In fairness, I deal with my own demons. These are and more are temptations of the adversary. These tips are about so much more than what, how, or where you eat. These truths get to the […]. But, […]. This vicious cycle can be broken with the insightful questions Barb poses in this post.

Comments I have never looked at eating quite this way, but you are absolutely correct in saying it is a choice. God bless you! Thank you, Amy C. What have you been doing? We have to talk. Domitro had tried everything to lose weight.
She counted calories. She took doctor-prescribed medication that produced unwelcome amphetaminelike highs. She joined Overeaters Anonymous -- twice. She sought personal counseling. She tried the Jenny Craig dieting system. As a last resort she went on a liquid protein diet, only to gain back all the weight she lost as soon as the fast ended. She was in desperate straits: Domitro was so heavy she was experiencing chest pains in the middle of the night and foot pain so severe she could not walk up steps.
Then, while attending a Calvary Memorial Church service as a guest, she noticed the Weigh Down Workshop listed on the church calendar and made some calls to find out about it. Since joining in October , Domitro has dropped 88 pounds, about half of what she wants to lose. The program that worked for her and others in the Calvary Church group is a Christian-based diet program that does not involve counting calories and fat grams.
There are no forbidden foods. It does not promote exercising. But it does require listening to God and listening to your body. You can eat whatever you want as long as you start eating only when you truly feel hungry and stop when you feel full. The Weigh Down Diet is the brainchild of Gwen Shamblin, a registered dietitian and onetime cheerleader who believes that the desire to overeat is a result of spiritual hunger rather than physical hunger.
In other words, loving food more than God. However, He wants us to learn how to rise above the magnetic pull of the refrigerator so that food does not consume our lives. Since its inception five years ago, the program has grown to more than 21, classes with more than a quarter of a million participants in the U. It's the biggest and flashiest program in the Christian diet movement, which has exploded into a lucrative industry of support groups, books, videos and audiotapes.
Father, open our hearts to the information we will hear on tape tonight.
