Tips For Begining Your Fast

Tips for beginning
a. A fast does not have to start on a weekend, it can start at any time
b. Begin your fast in the morning (you are ahead since you’ve already fasted all night long!)
c. Plan ahead for this change
d. If you choose a water fast, clean out your cupboards of any sweets or other tempting items so you aren’t going to the cupboard every few minutes during that first 3 days
e. Be aware that if you choose to do a Daniel Fast, vegan or 80/10/10 fast, you will be hungry about every 2 hours. Plan ahead and have things ready to eat.
f. Be sure to have some fresh fruits and veggies cleaned, cut up and put into baggies to carry with you so you aren’t taken by surprise by hunger (this is one reason people fall off the fast, they weren’t prepared and it’s so EASY to whip into a fast food place).
g. Be sure to take the prepared snacks with you wherever you go. I carry a large lunch box with me every day and it has my blender drink (email me if you would like to have the recipe, it’s free), some celery, carrots, cauliflower and/or broccoli and some raisins. Occasionally, I have black olives (for the vitamin e) and almonds. I buy raw almonds and then just barely heat them to kill any germs or mold (150 oven for about an hour) and then put them into baggies and freeze them to keep them fresh.
