For those who would like to consider more seriously how to go about fasting, the following resources are helpful, though I issue my standard disclaimer--not everything everyone says in every resource is correct--I agree with much of what is here, some of it may be debatable, and none of it should supplant the clear teaching of the Word of God!
That said, here are three helpful resources to begin. I will add to this list as the need or opportunity may arise.
God's Chosen Fast, by Arthur Wallis, 1968, reprinted 1997, Christian Literature Crusade
Bill Bright, founder of CRU (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) was a regular practitioner of fasting, which may explain some of the remarkable ways God used him and his ministry. He offers very practical instruction in this article, including his recommendations for undertaking a lengthy fast. It has some good teaching, a few overstatements (that was Bill Bright's way), and some very clear "how-to" instructions.
Jonathan Edwards on fasting and prayer
This should get you started if you desire to do so.
