According to Irene Lubker, R.D. with Virginia Commonwealth University, most of the faith-based diets follow sound healthy eating tips while working on the motivation and strength piece. “For example, the Daniel Diet encourages eating natural foods and abstaining from meat, alcohol, fried and processed foods for a period of time,” says Lubker. The plan is geared toward omnivores who include a variety of healthy animal and plant based options in their diet. The Daniel Diet is a holistic program that teaches biblical principles of natural health and healing that is aimed at a three-week regiment. It essentially takes away a lot of the unhealthy foods and relies on fish and beans for protein.
