As a precautionary measure, if you take medication or have a health condition, check with your doctor before beginning your first fast.
Determine in advance what kind of fast you will undertake, e.g., water only, water and juice, Daniel fast or total abstinence etc.
When drinking juice on a fast, non-sweetened and non-acidic juices seem best. Tomato and orange juice are hard on the stomach. Dilute to make easier.
Days two through four of the fast are often the most challenging. Keep strong!
Eat mainly raw foods and drink plenty of water for a few meals before you begin your fast. Decrease the size and frequency of meals.
You may need to restrict some of your physical activity during the fast, especially rigorous exercise.
If you drink lots of coffee, start cutting back before the fast to avoid headaches.
Water-and-juice fasts can help you accomplish the spiritual and physical purposes of the fast, while keeping energy.
Give specific time to pray. Fasting alone can be a diet – fasting and prayer brings God into the equation.
