Pastor Rick Warren, author of the best-selling The Purpose Driven Life and head of Saddleback Church in Southern California, is spreading the word about how he lost 60 pounds on a program he invented called The Daniel Plan. The plan was created with help from three well-known doctors: Mark Hyman, Daniel Amen and Mehmet Oz. The Daniel Plan incorporates healthy eating, exercise, stress reduction, prayer, and group support from other church members in small home groups. Warren says, "The line we use is: 'If it grows on a plant, it's healthy. If it's made in a plant, don't eat it.' My rule is no snacks, no sweets, no seconds." Now that he and his church members have been successfully using The Daniel Plan, Warren is encouraging others to use The Daniel Plan's free website. Churches also can download the six-week study guide and DVD series.
