Chris Pratt’s latest fad diet is the Daniel Diet, which is 21 days of fasting & prayer

I have always believed that if a celebrity woman had the kind of unhealthy relationship to food, diets and body image as Chris Pratt has had, it would be a huge conversation and probably on the cover of People Magazine. Pratt’s weight has fluctuated wildly over the years, and he seems especially prone to fad diets and whatever trend is popular at the moment. He also seems to be fighting his natural dadbod constantly. A month ago, Pratt used social media to discuss his latest trendy diet, which was “intermittent fasting.” I don’t know how long he did that – maybe three weeks, tops? – and now he’s on to the next trend. And it combines his love of fad diets with his love of the Bible.

Chris Pratt is taking his health regimen to biblical proportions. Literally. The actor, 39, updated Instagram followers on his latest diet routine: the Daniel Fast, a combination of fasting and prayer inspired by the Bible.

“Hi, Chris Pratt here. Day Three of the Daniel Fast, check it out,” Pratt said in a now-expired Instagram story video. “It’s 21 days of prayer and fasting.”

A website for the Daniel Fast explains it’s a “partial fast where some foods are eaten while others are restricted. Most people use this method of fasting for 21 consecutive days.” Participants are restricted to drinking only water and eating only foods that have grown from seeds, like fruits, vegetables and grains. The name is inspired by the Old Testament prophet Daniel, who limited his diet to vegetables and water to be able to cleanse his body and better focus on a spiritual connection to God, leaving behind distracting indulgences like meat and wine.

Pratt noted the end of his three-week program would align with the beginning of his ‘Lego Movie 2′ press tour and joked about how it might affect his interview skills. “It’s going to coincide also, coincidentally, with the ‘Lego Movie 2’ junket. So, by the time you see me, I’ll probably be hallucinating,” he said. “Stay tuned.”

Somewhere, Gwyneth Paltrow is SEETHING. Gwyneth is all about the trendy fasting diets, only she calls them “cleanses.” The whole idea behind the Daniel Diet is… I mean, it makes slightly more sense than Keto? LOL. It’s basically just veggies and water and nothing processed and no sugar or coffee. And you pray a lot. I could do that for MAYBE 12 hours. Maybe. Not 21 days. But that’s Chris Pratt for you – Gwyneth should line him up as a speaker for one of her 2019 Goop Summits. He seems to do more trendy diets than most of the rich women being targeted by Goop.
