Being Healthy and Fasting are not necessarily the same. Many FASTS actually invite medical challenges and weight gain. This program may be used by any church seeking healthy alternatives, while maintaining the spiritual integrity of the event.

2. 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)

3. 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

4. THE SERENITY PLEDGE
I promise to uphold the CONSTITUTION of the Serenity Challenge:

______ I promise to answer text messages and emails from my
coach.
______I promise to attend at least two Monday night MIND
FOOD meetings per month, formerly known as the Serenity team
calls
______I promise to or read or listen to personal development
books, because healthy weight management takes more than
counting calories
_____ I promise to stay social, have fun and not give up so easily
