Avoiding tea, salt and raw sugar
Greeting in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am very suprised to see that a few of the recipes on your site have ingredidients that are not in complient with the daniel fast ie. The Daniel Fast did not have any types of sugar. No not even raw sugar. and I was also suprised to see salt and seasoning salt? A fast is not supposed to be pleasurable. It is to afflict our flesh and soul. Last but not least yes teas are herbs but they have caffeine in them and should not be used to replace another flesh driven habit. (coffee and sodas) I pray that the info benefits someone and can be passed on to others who truly desire to fast the way the scripture says to.Thank you for sharing you opinion Cheryl. I'm sure there are many who feel the same as you do. Obviously, I don't agree with your interpretation of Daniel chapter one concerning the reason for Daniel's Fast/Diet or the foods Daniel allowed and avoided.
May God Bless You All
Cheryl
However, Cheryl, we affirm and encourage your personal application of the Daniel Fast/Diet. You have the freedom to apply Daniel's Fast according to the grace God gives you through the leading of His Holy Spirit. We also affirm the authority of individuals, groups or churches to do the Daniel Diet/Fast according to their own guidelines. If you are a member of a group or church that requires no salt or raw sugar, then we encourage you to submit to that restriction.
Concerning tea, we encourage only drinking teas without caffeine, in keeping with Elmer Towns' version of the Daniel Fast/Diet in his book Fasting For Spiritual Breakthrough.
May God richly bless you Cheryl!

soo.... no brown sugar? because i was thinking that i could add brown sugar to my oatmeal but i guess not. what do you think i can substitute it with?
Thanks for your question. Our opinion is that Molasses, agave nectar, raw sugar, raw honey, stevia, and Maple syrup are possible sweeteners, though we avoid them personally. http://www.stevia.net/ has more information about stevia, a natural herb.
Stevia at Amazon.com - http://tinyurl.com/2sc847
They also have raw honey - http://tinyurl.com/2pyras
and raw sugar http://tinyurl.com/34ral2
Dried fruit is a good substitute for sugar in your oatmeal and many other foods as well. Sue likes raisins in her oatmeal with water.
