How to Start

As you feel God leading you to do so, try one brief fast, once per week, of two meals’ duration - for example, skip dinner on Saturday night and the following morning’s breakfast. If you have never fasted before, start off slow. The body grows accustomed to fasting by degrees, and God does not usually ask us to run before we have begun to walk, or even crawl.

I would recommend fasting on a regular basis with consistency in regards to the day of the week and the meals that are skipped to better discipline yourself and accurately evaluate your fasting experiences with as limited physical variables as possible. Also, writing down in advance when you will fast, how long you will fast, what type of fast, and for what purpose God is asking you to fast can help in keeping to the fast. Perhaps even telling one other person or a group of mature believers for accountability to follow through with what God is calling you to do.
