One of the great things about the Daniel Fast is that you are not limited to any specific amount of food, but rather to the kinds of food you can eat. THREE KEY COMPONENTS TO THE DANIEL FAST. Only fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes & whole grains. Only water or natural juice for a beverage. No sweeteners, breads, meat, eggs, or dairy products.
