I attempted a partial fast last week, Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego style. One week without meat. I broke the fast on Friday with a cookout and LOTS of burgers.
I have to say, I'm not really sure how to "grade" a partial fast and what to expect. It definitely was not the jarring experience that a normal fast is. I did miss my meat, especially when eating out. I tried to take advantage of those yearnings as a reminder to pray.
All in all, I'm not sure I of what, if anything, I got from the fast (or if that is even a fair question.) I guess it does serve as a solid reminder of the fact that I have a lot to learn about the spiritual disciplines.
