Also remember that anything that melts such as ice cream or lollies is considered as part of your daily liquid allowed. Gelatine is also added to liquids. Yes even soup is included in that daily amount of fluids. Coffee tea juice also considered part of your daily liquid allowance. 

So what do you do when you deal with thirst? It is good to consider chewing gum or candy. For diabetics sugarless is advised. It is good to have a container and drink through out the day. That will also help with the battle against thirst.

No artificial flavors. No artificial preservatives. No sugar. No to white flour also. No foods that has too much salt. No meats, that includes fish beef and poultry. No dairy products.

Instead consider fruits and vegetables as it doesnt have a high calorie amount and is full of nutrients. Yes that means all fruits and vegetables are approved. Other foods you can think of is whole grains, seeds, nuts. Healthier oils such as olive, canola, peanut and sesame oil. All whole grains are approved in this diet. Consider vegan diet foods as meal ideas.

Canned foods that doesnt have no sugars or preservatives can be added. Do remember the Daniel diet is about no meats too.  But as you are restricted from eating meat during this time it means you must find your proteins elsewhere. So it is good to think about adding beans nuts and seeds to your diet.Which is why I suggest vegan recipe ideas for a 21 day weight loss plan. Dont stick to one certain fruit or vegetable. It is about eating different fruits and vegetables as it has so many different nutrients. 

What you can drink 

Only fluids that you can drink is water. Yes it means no coffee tea, even herbal teas. Just pure water is approved. It also means no sodas or juice. Even if it says 100 pure juice. Not surprising if you consider the benefits of water. You can read about the benefits of water here.
