Fasting doesn't necessarily mean you have to stop eating for a X amount of days, the purpose of fasting is that the Word of God is more important and more sustainable than physical needs which breaks what psychologist today call Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. So even skipping a meal because you want to pray and read the word of God is fasting. While fasting, seek God's face the most. Don't do it grudgingly otherwise it will hinder the whole point of doing it in the first place.

it depends, the most common types of fasts are:

meal fast -- skip a meal, obv. lol

a day or 2 fast -- drink whatever you want, except milk (has protein, or at least i dont drink it cause of that when im fasting.) obv. no food

fasting a thing for a length of time : i.e. no TV for a week or something.

Daniel's fast : no meat or sweets for X amount of time

40 day fast : just like 1 or 2 days, but for 40 days... many people have died doing this, to be honest, because they dont listen to the Holy Spirit when He says 'enough'.



How to -- if your fasting for someone, along with daily worship, pray for that person ALOT.
If your just doing it for faith/whatever else, just do it.

I ussually plan my fasts, like ill say 'okay, tommorow i wont eat all day.'

I fast bfast everyday ussually, and some days i just dont eat.. its pretty nice to be honest =)
