"But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the Royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to define himself this way" Daniel 1:8
To prepare for this Lent I have done a few of the following things:
1) Read the Daniel Plan by Rick Warren (one of his better book, imho)
2) Talked with a good friend who has gone through a similar fast. She has recommended reading about the Greek Orthodox, "Great Lent" and I found this webpage interesting: http://www.antiochian.org/fasting-great-lent
3) Created meal plans and have shopped for organic, raw foods
- For this fast I will only be eating/drinking the following:
- Water and fresh pressed juices (no alcohol, dairy, sodas, coffee or other stimulants, sparkling and flavored water, etc)
- All fresh Fruits and Vegetables (no meat, dairy, processed foods - so anything canned - , )
- Oils from plants that are not processed (coconut oils, unrefined olive oil)
- Whole Grains (no leavened products, enriched flours or rice)
- Legumes (fresh)
- Unleavened bread - probably a take off this http://keepinitkind.com/easy-homemade-yeast-free-vegan-gluten-free-flatbread/
