Daniel Fast Elimination Meal Plan
“Most of the chronic disease Americans develop are actually food-borne illnesses.” Dr. T. Colin Campbell
When it comes to your health and longevity, the most important factor is your lifestyle choices.
A major step to healing the body is to eliminate the mucus-forming foods from your diet. You will notice not only are your sinuses, your bronchi, and lungs clear but also the excessive discharge or buildup of mucus in the nose and throat begins to be eliminated. Jump-start your health and begin to reverse chronic and debilitating conditions when you adopt a healthier lifestyle through choices of food.
The Participants: Who can eat this Diet?
Everyone can participate in this diet. Those who are under doctor’s supervision may need to consult with their doctor before beginning the plan.
The Effects: What can I expect?
Important: After a few days you will begin experiencing the effects of detoxing. Your body is healing, how exciting! But the early effects might not be what you may expect. You may feel anything from a nagging headache to flu-like symptoms depending on how much there is to eliminate and your body’s reaction to cleansing. These effects will soon give way to vibrancy, mental clarity, and energy. Detoxing is not always easy. Hang in there!
Below is a list of foods to eat and not to eat (temporarily) and a bit of added info as well. Many of these foods that you will avoid are good foods in general.
There are so many great options on this eating plan. The key is focusing on what you can have, not what you CANNOT.
Several of these foods to avoid are also some of the most common food allergens. This is a temporary diet to see if you consume any foods that are causing you some discomfort or allergies, skin problems, mental health issues like depression, anxiety, or internal stress. Or, just to kick start a healthier plant-based lifestyle.
For 21 days or three weeks you avoid the foods in the list "foods I should avoid." If this plan is followed as suggested, we guarantee that after 21 days you will experience a noticeable improvement in your health as well as a sense of satisfaction with your accomplishment.
