Daniel Food Plan

Date:   4/3/2015 2:31:38 PM ( 9 y ago)

When I decided to have some cheese sauce on my veggies the other day I thought I would only be taking 1 day off. It turned out to be my maximum allowed which was 3 days. Yes, eating days can lead to danger. I feel like I am playing a board game with all my rules, that I am trying to abide by, to get to my goal of 120 days. I wonder how many days off I would have taken if I would not have set up my three day rule. If it takes a board game plan to get me to focus then that's what I will do. Of course, there is more to reaching the goal of 120 days than just reaching it. At the end of the 120 days I expect to be in better health. I expect to have turned back the clock a few years. I expect to have had my system rebooted. I expect to be carrying around less toxins in my body. I am also well aware of the fact that taking too many eating days will cancel out all of these benefits. I really only hope to use the eating days sparingly and with wisdom. I dream of making it for the rest of my time without any eating days, but I think that is unrealistic for where I am at. I know many reading this will say, "I can do that. Why can't you?" I don't have the answer for you so please don't ask. If I make my plan too strict for me I know I will not be able to stay on it at all and will totally give up. That would be even worse.

When things don't go as well as I had hoped I like to go back and examine my actions to see if I can identify anything that caused it. I caved in after just two days of water fasting. In my mind I wanted to water fast at least five days. Yes, my energy was low and I was very hungry, but I could have pressed through that. Why didn't I? After all, I have been in this situation many times before and I did press through. After thinking about it I realized that my resolve was also low.

What are some things that I can do to improve my resolve? I will need to work on this. One thing that I did do was watch my favorite movie found at this link:

http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/watch-fat-sick-and-nearly-dead/

To say that movie is motivating is putting it lightly. Also, I picked up on some things that I had missed in my prior watchings. Joe admitted that he tried it before, but always went back to his old ways. Joe also had attempts. This makes me feel like I am a normal person after all. The reason he went to the states and did the documentary was to help him be successful this time. At least that is how I interpreted what he was saying. Joe also needed motivation. Joe also needed to work on his resolve.

I also saw that Joe is not a purist. Reading the screens at the end of the movie I saw that he was successful. He lost all his excess weight. He is now off of all medications. Joe believes in moderation which tells me that he is practicing that life style. He does short reboots regularly. This is how I see myself someday. I know I am not a purist. It's good to know that health can be achieved by even those of us who practice moderation. I do not take any medications. At least I have that going for me.

I went to the farmer's market yesterday to pick up some fresh fruits and vegetables for juicing. I decided to first start with a Daniel Food Plan because those mangos looked so good. I think I will start calling what I was calling a "Daniel Fast", "My Daniel Food Plan" since it is not true fasting. I hope to mostly consume cleansing foods during these days. I guess it doesn't really matter what I call it. It only matters how I define it. I used the term "broad" in my plan hoping that would cover things that I do that really is not true fasting. I doubt most people could do a true fast for 120 days. Juice fasting is not a true fast either, but if Joe can call it "fasting" so can I. I will leave that one where it is.

I am on my second day of the Daniel Food. I am next planning to do some juicing.

Days Left: 117
