We have been following the Daniel Plan since a couple of weeks into the new year and have been loving the transformation in many areas of our life. I have lost more than 20 pounds and Rafa has lost nearly that amount. Even better is that we are experiencing so much health! I was able to stop taking a digestive medication and Rafa got a great report at the doctor that showed he no longer has borderline high blood pressure or cholesterol.

According to www.danielplan.com, “the Daniel Plan is a groundbreaking, healthy lifestyle program where people get better together. With love as the motivation, it’s a story of abundance, not deprivation. Relying on God’s power and the support and encouragement of friends, get ready to be transformed from the inside out.”

The program, created by Rick Warren (author of The Purpose Driven Life, among other things), brings light to five areas of health: faith, food, fitness, focus and friends. We went through it the first time with a small group of close friends, and we are looking forward to re-starting with more people.

As part of the plan, I totally revamped our menu plan. I am including two weeks of menu planning with this post for ideas for other DPers. The recipes came from www.danielplan.com, the Daniel Plan “getting started” book, and DP fans on Facebook.
