The Daniel Fast for lapbanders

My church is embarking upon a 21 day fast called "The Daniel Fast". It's mainly fruits and veggies.

If you are familiar with it, please share suggestions for meals and products that I should purchase. I'm mainly concerned with getting enough Protein.

I NEVER plain drink water--It's always Chrystal Light. I don't think that we can't have sugar or sugar substitute--so PLAIN Water might be the death of me!!!!!

All suggestions are welcomed

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about that, but it proably has sugar substitute in it. If we drink fruit juices, they must be 100% fruit juice.

100% fruit juices have a lot of calories and sugar in them. Yes, it's natural sugar ( for most of them) but still sugar.

some add corn syrup, so read the labels.

Check out the "light" fruit juices, they are lower in calories.

You'll get Protein from any meat but you could add Isopure CLEAR Protein Drink. It comes in different flavors and has no sugars or carbs. You can buy them at a GNC (General nutrition store) or a Vitamin Shoppe.

I like the Special K protein Water, they're flavored and I like the Propel flavored waters.

I think I may have found a way to not die of lack of crystal light. There is a product called Stevia. It's sold in liquid and powder form--have you heard of it?

If you just need some flavor in your Water than put a little bit of 100% fruit juice in it to give yourself a hint of flavor.

From what I have heard Stevia is a good product to use. It made from a herb so it is natural. It supposedly has a sweet licoricey flavor. I actually plan on buying some this weekend since I have recently gotten myself off of the sugar. Honestly though you really should give up the crystal light for good because aspartame is a really crappy chemical to put in your body.
