What are the rules of fasting?

[Ann_Springborn]

What are the rules of fasting? Can a person who is fasting take liquids or any other food and how long are we required to fast. I have been considering fasting as a sacrifice along with my prayers for thing happening in our world today, but I am not sure about how to do it.
