The Daniel Fast vs. the Goglia Diet

The Daniel Fast might be fine temporarily for weight loss purposes, but long-term it’s a bad idea, given that it doesn’t allow any meat. This is an important layout of what healthy eating is, though. The Goglia diet is on point. What I didn’t know, though, was this: “Lastly, water is very important in this diet and you should drink 1/2 oz to 1 oz of water per each lb you weigh daily.” For most Americans we drink far more of anything else but water.
The whole point of Daniel’s diet in Daniel 1 was that he and his friends were refusing to eat meat offered to idols, the same issue that Paul talked about in 1 Corinthians. It was ceremonial and had to do with holiness and faithfulness in worship to Yahweh alone. It had nothing to do with biology per se.
