In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as

an option.

This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One

example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove

meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for

fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.

This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from

eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either

correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from

sunup to sundown.

This fast can be defined as simply abstaining from food for spiritual

purposes. It was encouraged and expected by Jesus that believers would

fast (Matt. 6:17-18, Matt. 9:15). Many abstain from food, television and

other forms of entertainment during this time and spend that time drawing

closer to God instead. What makes this time of fasting effective is by using

the time to pray, read the Word of God and worship. Simply said – if fasting

is not coupled with prayer and Bible reading it’s simply a diet.
