Acquaintances are all going to start doing these different diets New Year's resolutions. Not me. Has anyone heard of the Daniel Fast? Base on Daniel 1:12 and Daniel 10:1-2
So fasting and dieting aren't in the same realm.
Not eating at all is actually not great . . . You need to get nutrients into your body.
Modify the "amount" of calories taken in to be less then you normally burn off based on your height and weight.
Never heard of it, but I looked it up.
"Bible based" always gets more attention that "new diet."
And a diet is a special course of food to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons.
The Daniel Fast is another type of diet, apparently with a heavy stress on eating various types of vegetables.
Usually, any diet that winds up with a person eating less calories than his body requires to maintain its current weight will result in weight loss.
But I have no idea how healthy it might be since I have not investigated it further.
I had to look it up but don't understand it. Some pseudo-religious diet ? What does religion have to do with a diet? Beats me. Couldn't find much on it but it looks like it's come and gone years ago like the rest of the fad diets.
