Researching the Biblical and historical practice and impact of fasting I came across this great sermon series by John Piper. I would encourage you to listen to these sermons and ask the Lord how how he wants you to incorporate fasting into your life, if it isn't already.
If you have an iPod and would like to download these sermons they can be located at the Desiring God Website.
If you're a reader rather than a listener you can download and read the book Hunger for Fasting: Desiring God Through Fasting and Prayer
