What is a biblical liquid fast?

Drink only liquids—especially water. On this type of fast, you may also take in clear broth and 100 percent fruit and vegetable juices in order to maintain your strength. There are many options for partial fasts. The most frequently used example of a partial fast is found in Daniel chapter 10.

When most people start fasting, there is typically some level of discomfort. However, it is possible to get used to the fasting routine pretty quickly. Quite simply, you must learn to fast in a way that works for you. While any true fast does involve abstinence from food or at least certain types of food, typically, different fasting combinations work better for different people. The goal to having a successful fast is all about finding what we like to call your Fast Zone. That is different for everybody and can change depending on the season you are in. The best way to describe your Fast Zone is that it’s the place where your mind is easily focused on God and spiritual things. You have an increased spiritual energy, you can feel the fast working. Just like runners know what their target heart rate is to see the benefits of their physical training, the Fast Zone is similar in a spiritual sense. Finding your Fast Zone helps you choose the type of fast. Let’s say you choose to go on a Daniel fast (only fruits and vegetables). Should you eat beans? If you can eat beans and stay in your Fast Zone, go ahead. But for some people eating beans takes them out of the zone. Should you eat peanut butter? Probably not. Peanut butter is more of an indulgence, and not many people can stay in a Fast Zone while enjoying indulgences. Should you completely cut out caffeine? It depends. The great thing is, when you fast, your body automatically craves less caffeine. If you can stay in your Fast Zone with a little caffeine, great. If you are going on a longer fast and want to cut it out of your diet completely, that’s great too. But ease yourself off and make it your goal to be completely caffeine free about two-thirds of the way into your fast. If you drink coffee regularly, one of the worst mistakes you can make is to fast for one to three days and cut caffeine out abruptly and completely. Please don’t do that or you will spend this time grumpy and in withdrawal instead of enjoying God’s presence. Mixing things up a bit during a twenty-one-day fast is what typically works best for people. For example, do a fruits and vegetables fast for a week. Then do all liquids for a while. Maybe even mix in a few days of only water if you think you are ready for that. Then go back to fruits and vegetables for a few days. There isn’t one approach that works the same for everyone. Follow the Holy Spirit, mix it up, find what works for you, and stay in your Fast Zone! With today’s protein drinks and juicing machines, it is so easy to get a healthy dose of all your nutritional needs even while taking in only liquids.

You can eat or drink only things that are liquid. You may have these foods and drinks:

Water

Fruit juices, including nectars and juices with pulp

Butter, margarine, oil, cream, custard, and pudding

Plain ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sherbet

Fruit ices and popsicles

Sugar, honey, and syrups

Soup broth (bouillon, consommé, and strained cream soups, but no solids)

Sodas, such as ginger ale and Sprite

Gelatin (Jell-O)

Boost, Ensure, Resource, and other liquid supplements

Tea or coffee with cream or milk and sugar or honey

Ask your doctor or dietitian if you can include these foods in your full liquid diet: Cooked, refined cereals, such as cream of rice, oatmeal, grits, or farina (Cream of Wheat)

Strained meats, like the ones in baby food

Potatoes pureed in soup

Do not eat any kind of cheese, fruit (fresh, frozen, or canned), meat, and cereals that are not on your "OK" list. Also, do not eat raw or cooked vegetables. And, do not eat ice cream or other frozen desserts that have any solids in them or on top, such as nuts, chocolate chips, and cookie pieces. Try having a mix of 5 to 7 of the foods you can eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Liquid foods do not include mashed foods, such as mashed potato or avocado. Eating only a full liquid diet can give you enough energy, protein, and fat. But it does not give you enough fiber. Also, you may not get all the vitamins and minerals you need. So, your doctor may recommend that you take certain vitamins and supplements. This diet is safe for people with diabetes, but only when they are followed closely by their doctor.
