Here are a few links to some good information on fasting. Each include biblical references as well as physical considerations.

I especially liked the second article.

May this information bring you even closer to God, and to Him be all Glory.



What is the correct way to fast? How long should I fast?

Yeah when you fast, if you drink then what's the point of fasting?
Fasting is without anything that goes in your mouth.

you can't even drink your own saliva. lol i'm joking :P

Notice how a man in the Bible went to fast for 4-5 days before going to see Peter I believe. I forget, it's in Acts.
One day is hard, I know. I really would love to TRY to fast for more than a day!! All for God Glory to the LORD our God!!

Thanks for the links I will read them CS, they seem very informative.

There are many types of fasts. Some fast on juices, some give up certain types of food and some give up all food. It is an amazing thing how your body asks constantly for somethings that it really does not need- these become apparent when fasting.
Before fasting, you should read a couple books on fasting and consult a physician if you have any medical issues.

I highly recommend starting with a 24 hour juice fast and work up from there.
Juice fasts are usually not painful and get you used to not eating solid food.l
