The 21 Day Daniel Fast
The Daniel Fast is a spiritual fast that incorporates a lifestyle change (restricting certain foods, not the timing of eating those foods). Its origins come from the Old Testament prophet, Daniel, who underwent a 21 day fast from meat and pleasant foods (Daniel 10:2-3).
For the spiritual part of the fast, some people choose to focus on prayer and meditation, or other things like focusing on positivity, not procrastinating, not complaining, gratitude or other spiritual/psychological goals.

Where do you get your protein during the fast, as this is essentially whole food, plant-based nutrition? Doesn't my body NEED animal products to get more protein?
Most Americans get way more protein than they need! If you think about it, cows don't eat chicken to get THEIR protein, and chicken don't eat seafood to get protein for themselves. They eat PLANTS! You can get protein from legumes (beans, chickpeas, lentils and soy), whole grains, nuts and seeds, as well as vegetables. As long as you get a balance of those foods, and include several servings of them a day, you'll be fine. You can definitely build muscle and exercise on a plant-based diet. Check out the documentary, The Game Changers (www.gamechangersmovie.com) for more on plant-based athletes. Note: There isn't much protein in fruit
