Delay and Pray: Permanent Weight Loss Through Spiritual Fasting

by Beth Bubik

Your old diet isn't working. Traditional dieting doesn't have lasting results because it is based on scarcity, is too hard, and often only produces a temporary outcome through a lot of white-knuckling work. The diet mentality is chock-full of self-reliance, frustration, and pressure. Don't you wish there were a better way?




Then take a breath. This is different. You are being invited onto a new and wonderful weight loss path. This journey of health will actually get you where you want to go because you will be holding the hand of Jesus while learning to delay unhealthy foods and pray for loved ones through it all. It's time to drop extra pounds and find joy in the challenge, too.




Intermittent fasting for a spiritual purpose is the best way to approach optimal health. Leave room for prayer and learn to love vibrant, nutritious foods again. Get out out of the rut of eating to numb your emotions and begin to experience the rich and full life that is available to you when delay and pray. The result? You will lose weight while gaining faith.

I'm glad a friend loaned me this book. It is a novel take on what it means to fast. It takes a while to get the whole picture. The idea is not only intermittent fasting but also fasting from things like sweets until Sunday. I used this approach for Lent, and it worked well! I'm still feasting a bit during this Easter season, but plan to go back to it soon.

This was a book I needed to read when it came to my weight-loss/health journey. It's been an obvious struggle these last 7 months and this got me back on track and helped me to know and realize how much I struggle with controlling my eating when it comes to sugar and flour. The concept of fasting and praying isn't new, but the concept on fasting from flour, sugar, alcohol Monday-Saturday (and praying) was something that clicked for me. I have been doing this and it helps with my cravings for sure!

I have already learned about fasting last year. What I really like about this book is the added layer of offering up the struggles and praying! Use it and pray for others as we get fit for the kingdom of God.
