Are you confused as to “why” you get mediocre results following the same diet everyone else is doing? Hate it when you spend hours upon hours alone, struggling with your weight loss? Want a REALISTIC, proven weight loss plan that removes the barriers of weight loss isolation? Are you starting to think something is wrong with your body, with you? The truth is The Daniel Plan holds the keys to success when it comes to healthy weight loss. Not only healthy for the body but the mind and spirit as well. That is what sets it apart from so many other diet plans. Well it is not exactly a weight loss plan but more of a lifestyle. Weight loss plans usually turn into fad diets but lifestyles allow you to be healthy the rest of your life. Granted The Daniel Plan all started with Pastor Rick Warren taking the time to be honest with himself and his congregation about the fact he was overweight. He admitted he was not a taking care of the physical body God gave him and asked his followers for forgiveness. He wanted to be a role model not only in faith but in the way you should treat the body God gave you. He did the one thing many people cannot bring themselves to do. He asked for help. By following his faith and believing in the power of community he gained the support of not only his congregation and friends but of Dr. Oz, Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Daniel Amen. Without committing to and focusing on his physical health, he would have never been able to make The Daniel Plan what it is today. He would not have been able to change the lives of the thousands he has. What makes The Daniel Plan so easy to follow is the focus on committing to your belief that your body was meant for more than filling it with the processed junk being called food today. With a simple change in how you view food and the “why” behind putting it into your body, weight loss starts to happen naturally. You could say it is all based on natural weight loss. When you are eating food for a purpose you do not have any trouble eliminating the health harming foods you used to eat. When you ask yourself “Why am I about to eat this and what is the benefit it provides for the body God gave me?” you make better choices. While The Daniel Plan omits certain foods due to the potential negative impact they can have on your body, the focus is on providing you with an abundance of food to support healthy weight loss. The Daniel Plan is not done just for religious reasons. It focuses on helping you find the motivation or reason why you want to take on a healthier lifestyle. There are any number of reasons you may have to want the best physical body possible and the methods inside The Daniel Plan support you whether your reasons are faith driven or not. Get started right away and learn why The Daniel Plan might be the last “diet” you ever need to commit to.
Good summary of the plan. I’m not sure if the recipes are complete. I was interested in the Greek stew recipe. It doesn’t say how to prepare several of the vegetables for cooking - 1 inch slice, cube, whole, etc. I will figure out what would work best, but without complete instructions or a picture, it’s hard to know what the dish should look like.
Very easy read and encourages one to really think about their reasons for considering this life style change. Faith and friends are a key for success. Highly recommended, especially for those, like me, that have struggle with diet commitment.
For such a brief book this gives a thorough overlook at The Daniel Plan and the reasons and beliefs behind it. A good supplementary book to aid in success at weight loss and transitioning to a healthier lifestyle.
