Our church did a Passover Friday to Sunday Easter fast, and it was interesting. It was approximately 40 hours, and it seemed to have a little more meaning rather than just choosing not to eat for a couple days. Originally, the idea was that the time you would spend eating could be used in other ways during a fast. In some instances, that included prayer, devotion, etc.
