What I've Learned

as far as eating healthy from the Daniel Fast-

1. How to incorporate more veggies and fruits into my daily diet- small snacks, side dishes, in the main dish
2. Cutting out bread and sugar is not as hard as I thought- whole wheat tortillas make a great substitution for bread in sandwiches. Lots of things have sugar in them, even many corn tortillas have dextrose (sugar).
3. hunger pains can be a need for water- while on the fast there were times that I was hungry or though I was hungry. Instead of eating I drank water (this happened at work a lot) and  drinking water seemed to help stave off the hunger pain. (they were minor pains and NOT accompanied by a headache)
4. I don't need pop or other similar drinks to help me get through the day- I had my first diet coke last night, and it tasted good, but I think I am going to stick to water and an occasional pop made from our Soda stream machine (less sugar, less calories)

eating healthy is easier than you may think. check out my friend's Let's Eat Healthy Blog, its complete with recipes and grocery lists.

Thank you everyone for your prayers and support while Jon and I have been on this fast. We have made a commitment to each other to continue eating a somewhat Daniel Fast diet, as we enter into the 40 Days in the Word study with our church and small group.
