The benefits of a little exercises, doing some basic exercises have really given me more energy than I thought was possible. I encourage you to pick this book up, but don't read it alone, get a second book to give to a friend, so you can walk through the journey together! Don't forget none of these benefits would be possible with God and His Holy Spirit strengthening me and giving me the desire to do what pleases Him! ...more

I'm very excited about the Daniel Plan. I had read about another program based on the Daniel Fast and liked the idea, but that was only the diet portion. The Daniel Plan includes five essentials: food, fitness, focus, faith, and friends. It is designed to improve physical, spiritual, and mental health. Although I have lost weight in the past, I have always gained back more than I lost. This plan is a lifestyle, not a "diet," so I am optimistic that with the help of God and friends (I'm trying to I'm very excited about the Daniel Plan.

However, there are a number of tables and charts that weren't re-formatted for the Kindle, and they are unreadable in the small size they appear on the Kindle screen. I will have to buy a paperback book to have all the information for the program. Had the publisher converted the charts and tables to text, I wouldn't have had to buy a print copy of the book to access all the information. The content was so good I didn't want to lower the rating for formatting, but a major publisher should know how to format a Kindle edition to make it readable. ...more

I also wish there had been more of a discussion of the health issues surrounding eating meat and dairy--I recall one brief mention of a plant-based diet in the book, and wish that option had been more fully discussed. All in all, a book that will be very helpful to many people, and I commend Pastor Warren for his efforts to help his congregation and people in general to pursue better health. ...more

As a pastor you want to set an example for your church. Rick Warren, currently hosting 25,000 people in his Sadlleback Church services, realized on the day he was baptizing 800+ people, how many people had overweight.....including himself. He confessed his disobedience to God's commandment to treat the body as temple of the Holy Spirit to his congregation. Warren needed to lose weight and asked if anyone wanted to join him. Instead of the expected 200 people this stirred as much as 15,000 As a pastor you want to set an example for your church. Rick Warren, currently hosting 25,000 people in his Sadlleback Church services, realized on the day he was baptizing 800+ people, how many people had overweight.....including himself. He confessed his disobedience to God's commandment to treat the body as temple of the Holy Spirit to his congregation. Warren needed to lose weight and asked if anyone wanted to join him. Instead of the expected 200 people this stirred as much as 15,000 churchgoers to sign up and get rid of over 260,000 pounds in the first year. From the initial stage Warren collaborated with two doctors, Daniel Amen & Mark Hyman, and a fitness specialist to detail The Daniel Plan.
The subtitle, 40 Days to a Healthier Life, may suggest a similar book to The Purpose Driven Life or The Purpose Driven Church. The Daniel Plan was inspired by the biblical prophet Daniel who served with his friends in the king's court in Babylon: "But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.(..) Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink (...) At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead." (verses from Daniel 1 in New International Version).
Can you be as strong as Daniel? Then a 40-days devotional is not what you need. The Daniel Plan is not like an average lose weight program or crash diet. The secret's in a supportive community relying on God’s instruction for living. The book's elaborates on the powerful combination of faith, fitness, food, focus, and friends will change your health forever, transforming you in the most head-turning way imaginably---from the inside out. Faith and Friends as unmistakably biblical sound frames for having God's love instead of fear, shame and guilt as motivators, alongside buddies devoted to the same goal: become more healthy. Warren is eager to embed the purpose driven elements, without repeating previous books. The doctors contribute with a wealth of knowledge on good and bad food and their consequences for your body, soul and mind. The fitness expert brings exercises in all flavors and levels. 70% of the book is purely an introduction to the program, background information for you to have a well-prepared start of a first 40-days sequence. For that period a series of recipes and exercises are provided. If you sign-up to the program with a group - the book strongly advises not to do it on your own - you're provided free online resources and an app to support your Daniel Plan. ...more

My husband and I read this together while attending a class over the book at our church. We both really enjoyed the book. While a lot of the food and fitness material you can find in any "health plan" book, we really enjoyed the way faith and focus were brought into the plan.

One minor annoyance is that the book constantly talked about a mobile app that doesn't seem to exist. It's not like this book came out last month, so in my opinion there has been ample time to get it up and running. It almost made it seem like you HAD to get the app to succeed in the Daniel Plan, and since it's not available it bugged me. ...more

The title comes from the Biblical Daniel. The author integrates faith, food, fitness, focus and friends in order to lead an optimal healthy life. This is not simply a weight loss plan although if these principles are followed that will result.

When Pastor Rick Warren (also author of The Purpose Driven Life) began his program in his church in California, the results were astounding. Not only did 15,000 people from his congregation lose a significant amount of weight, he saw the changes in them went far beyond that. He saw their relationship with God become closer as well as their relationship with others.
Co-authors Doctors Daniel Amen and Mark Hyman lend their medical expertise. They reinforce the current findings that it is not so much the healthy fats in our diets that need to be avoided, but rather the sugar and wheat(carbs). These are the culprits behind heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and even Alzheimers.
I am not someone who is extremely overweight, but I certainly need to lose more than a few pounds. I came upon this book from a fellow parishioner. She and I have been doing this together. What I realized as I began reading The Daniel Plan is that I have always relied on myself to become healthier and I always end up reverting back to old, unhealthy habits. The first principle in the plan is faith; I need to ask God for His help, and having friends along for the journey also helps. The other thing I liked about all the authors had to say was that not only does the science make sense, but they are realistic and very aware of how our human natures can be weak. They let us know that there will be setbacks at times because that is just life.
The Daniel Plan is about living the way God created us to live and about eating the good healthy foods He, not some factory, created. ...more

I suspect that those who will get the most out of this book are:

1. Overweight and/or feeling quite unhealthy
2. Mainstream Christians
3. Do not know a lot about nutrition or whole foods diets (e.g., are unsure of the best healthy diet or eat a lot of fast or processed foods).

For those who fall into those categories, I would definitely recommend this book. And depending on your personality, the following could be either a plus or a minus:

For those who fall into those categories, I would definitely recommend this book. And depending on your personality, the following could be either a plus or a minus:

1. The book is written in a very upbeat, peppy, "you can do it!" style;
2. The authors assume you know NOTHING about nutrition, so everything is presented in small "bites" and an easy-to-assimilate manner;
3. There is a lot of religion but it is presented in a friendly, non-judgmental Christianity-lite tone.

Personally, I am not unhealthy or overweight, have read extensively on whole foods and nutrition, and have studied enough theology/comparative religion and philosophy to find the fluffy tone a bit annoying. So I did not really get a lot out of this book. I read it because diet books are a peculiar passion of mine.

That said: the advice in this book seems solid, and the diet chapters and menu plans are definitely a step above what most Americans eat. If you are in the categories I described above, I think this book would be quite helpful. Otherwise, your mileage may vary. ...more

Everyone should read this book!
One warning: The book incorrectly tells the reader how to become a Christian. In order to become a Christian, one must follow the plan of salvation: Hear the Word (Romans 10:17), Believe (Acts 16:31), Repent (Acts 17:30), Confess (Acts 8:37), Be Immersed for the Remission of Sins (Acts 2:38) and Live Faithfully (Acts 14:22). Otherwise....it's an awesome book!

The Daniel Plan says that in 40 days, you can lead a healthier life. I’m not reviewing this book after having done that. I’m reviewing it based on the information I see it providing me with. The plan has 5 areas that it categorizes the book into: Faith, Food, Fitness, Focus, Friends. There are also introductory chapters and three chapters at the end that are more practical. I’m going to tackle my thoughts on each of the five main sections for this review.

In the Faith section, there is a big The Daniel Plan says that in 40 days, you can lead a healthier life. I’m not reviewing this book after having done that. I’m reviewing it based on the information I see it providing me with. The plan has 5 areas that it categorizes the book into: Faith, Food, Fitness, Focus, Friends. There are also introductory chapters and three chapters at the end that are more practical. I’m going to tackle my thoughts on each of the five main sections for this review.

In the Faith section, there is a big focus on how our relationship with God can affect our ability to change our habits. There is a strong focus on spending time in the Word and meditating on scriptures as well as actively praying. Rick Warren discusses how these steps can help us overcome bad habits with God’s help all while also improving our own relationship with God.

The Food section is huge in this book and filled with a lot of wonderful information. This section discusses portion control, has quick info about foods we should be eating more of, how to eat less sugar, as well as what different foods do for us and how to have a well-balanced diet. There is also information about where cravings come from and how to deal with them. What I found most helpful in this section though is the chapter about harmful foods. This chapter talks about reading the ingredient labels on food and identifying the ingredients that are most harmful to our bodies. But rather that just listing them out, Rick Warren explains why they are bad.There are also notes on how to eat healthier on a budget or making over your kitchen and pantry to make things healthier.

Motivation is a strong point in the Fitness section. Rick Warren provides strategies for encouraging you to exercise. Even better are the suggestions for combining prayer and worship with simple stretches and exercises. There are also suggestions to implement these activities into your week–things like setting a reminder on your phone or actually scheduling them into your week.

Focus is a section that deals with how to handle stress, eliminating negative thought patterns, attitudes and more. The point of this section is to get our mind in a healthier place and to improve our relationship with God.

The final section is based around Friends. The idea that community will both encourage you and challenge you while holding you accountable.

As I mentioned earlier, after the 5 main sections, the chapters become quite practical. There is a suggested exercise plan, a meal plan, checklists to determine your health, a method to detox your body, shopping lists and recipes.

This book is a wonderful tool. I love the ways in which faith interacts with all the other choices of our lives to become healthier. Many concepts of the book are also backed up with Scripture.

For me personally, I don’t plan to tackle all of these things in the suggested 40 days, but I will probably work on slowly incorporating other ideas from the book into everyday life. Some things will be a bit more difficult than others. It is a book that will probably remain a wonderful “go-to” tool for me to help myself and my family live healthier lives.

NO!! She ate meat and used every last scrap of it, she drank raw milk and made cream and butter, she fermented veggies and made sourdough bread, she served everything with a delicious nourishing gravy or creamy sauce, she boiled bones for days to make broth, she gave her children cod liver oil.

This so-called 'Daniel' plan is NOT a nourishing way to live and it most certainly NOT endorsed by God or the Bible.

Plus this quote really annoyed me -- "Why should God heal you of an obesity-related illness if you have no intention of changing the choices that led yo to it? God is waiting for you to start making healthy choices." (p. 24) Get serious.

Until the author has mastered these techniques as a shining example of the lifelong working change it can (supposedly) bring, he should not be selling books about it!!!

Random thoughts:
*hated this book mostly because of what it represents in Christian circles (this whole 'Daniel Fast' trend is so ridiculous)
*not based on Daniel in any way so it has a misleading title (Daniel ate veggies for 10 days and got 'fatter' according to scripture -- maybe because it was spirit-led there were supernatural results)
*plant-based high-carb/low-fat (the so-called clean diet)
*heavy on the psychology/self-help, but laced with a few scriptures
*nothing in this book you can't find on the internet; poorly researched and Doctor Oz is a major contributor so.....
*each chapter is an overwhelming compilation of all the typical sound-bytes regarding food, fitness, faith, friends (support groups) and a focused life
*filled with checklists, bullet points, numbered lists, surveys, acronyms, pointless charts (his sermons are probably like this, ugh)
*author says without God's help you'll go back to your old habits
*told to avoid recipes with the words 'creamy, crispy, breaded'
*fermented veggies are included on the pantry items but never discussed or included on menu plans
*super low-fat diet -- allows 1 Tablespoon of olive oil for a recipe with SIX servings (no wonder you would need a support group to stick with this insanity)
*never gives the option of RAW milk, just avoid dairy entirely
*lots of mentions of the follow-up cookbook/website/app -- to make even more money off of ...more

If you're looking for a book that will help you overhaul your eating and fitness habits, then this is the book. I read it to simply assess whether my church should go through it as a small group series (and wasn't planning on starting The Daniel Plan soon), yet as I read I felt so encouraged, and the advice was so practical and sensible, that I've already started making changes to my weekly routine.

I read it to simply assess whether my church should go through it as a small group series (and wasn't planning on starting The Daniel Plan soon), yet as I read I felt so encouraged, and the advice was so practical and sensible, that I've already started making changes to my weekly routine.

The best sections of the book were the first chapter (where Rick Warren lays out a solid argument for how and why God cares about what you do with your body), the second chapter (where you're taught how to overhaul your diet), and the final section of the book that contains the actual daily map of Daniel Plan goals.

But here's where I'm torn: is this the best series for a church that is not particularly struggling with physical health issues? There are only so many weeks in the year and only so many small group series we can choose. The first chapter had a solid biblical foundation but after that, I felt as if the biblical content was mostly a sidebar.

For example, in one section there is mention of prayer. Great! Except, the book takes the opportunity to merely talk about the biochemical benefits of prayer. The food chapter is wonderfully practical but seldom connects back to biblical content. It would have been great if the content of the first chapter was brought back and connected through the other chapters. Also, it's a tiny gripe but if you live in a small town in the Midwest, you'll have an extremely difficult time finding items on the Daniel Plan grocery list.

I would recommend this book to anyone who desires to get healthier. But hmm, again, not sure if I'd recommend it to every church who is looking for a small group curriculum; that would have to depend on the season that the congregation is in. ...more

"The best workout is one you will actually do..." Hmm. Touche. And while I don't think I'll do the detox or follow the diet plan to a T, but I'll definitely scope out the website for recipes when I'm lacking ideas. And I'm definitely working to be more conscientious about what I'm eating, I can't say I'll go full out cleaning eating, but it's definitely made me stop and reconsider my trips to fast food joints or making a box of velveta mac n cheese for the third time in a week.

So, I say read it! It may even speak to you in other aspects of your life than just your health. It's worth a listen. :) ...more
