"I had this thought, it wasn't very spiritual, but it was 'We're all fat,'" said Warren.

Although the Saddleback church version of the Daniel Plan has specific diet directions, most versions of the Daniel diet are slightly improvised since the Bible doesn't give exactly detailed instructions. Versions of the fast include eating only raw vegetables or fruits for 10-21 days with water.


"I definitely think it makes people more aware of what they're eating and what they're putting in their body," said Bennett. "I say more power to them."


"Most congregations tend to bond over food and people tend to go to lunch or dinner right after church," said Bennett. By focusing on the social aspect, people don't fixate on food restrictions. "People can tell me exactly what they ate or lunch or dinner but can't tell me what the conversation was. They're focusing too much on food."




"I think also people use foods to deal with emotions and things in their life," said Bennett. "If they're looking to God instead they may feel a closer relationship."
