The Daniel Plan

The Daniel Plan:  40 Days to a Healthier Life by Rick Warren, DMin, Daniel Amen, MD and Mark Hyman, MD is more than a diet plan.  It is about achieving a healthy lifestyle by focusing on five essentials:
Faith -- Trust God to help you get healthy, not your willpower.
Food -- Eat a variety of real whole foods.
Fitness -- Make fitness doable.
Focus -- Loss of focus leads to failure.
Friends -- Be engaged with others.
 At the end of the book you will find:
  • The Daniel Plan 10-Day Detox Plan
  • The 40-Day Core Meal Plan
  • Shopping Lists
  • Recipes 

 Some of our favorite recipes:
  • Chicken Primavera Bowl
  • Crockpot Beef and Veggie Stew
  • Dr. Hyman’s Black Bean Soup
  • Dr. Hyman’s Whole Food Protein Shake



There is a huge amount of information and 
encouragement in this book.  

Something that I didn’t know and sounded crazy to me was, “If you don’t eat sugar, you won’t crave sugar.”  Totally didn’t believe it until I tried it.  It’s TRUE!
