If you want to understand the Daniel Fast, you have to go back to the Book of Daniel in the Bible . It’s based on two different moments in his life where he used his diet as a way to stay focused on God.
1. The "Trial" Period (The Foundation)
In Daniel 1, Daniel and his friends were captives in Babylon. The King offered them "royal food and wine," but it went against Jewish dietary laws and was offered to idols first.
"But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way." (Daniel 1:8)
2: Daniel asked for a 10-day test: just vegetables and water. At the end of the 10 days, Daniel and his friends seemed healthier and better nourished than those eating the king’s food.
Commonly done around a new year, the Daniel Fast is basically a deep-dive "cleanse" for your body and your spirit .
