So anyone in blue collar fields , manual labor and the like tried fasting for religious or health reasons? If so how do you / did go about it ? Seems most people preaching it on the tik Tok and the like just sit in the A/C all day because holy crap 91° on a steel barge or 100° in the engine room on a empty stomach saps the energy out of you something quick

It doesn't work well, quit drinking or smoking or something else, your body doesn't recover if you work without food.

I work 11 hour shifts in the heat....outside. 5am to 4pm. I do not eat until I get home and eat supper. I actually find that when I do eat, I'm worthless after that... no energy, just wanna nap.

I drink one cup of coffee in the morning.... with sugar and cream... then nothing but water and sugar free Monsters until supper.

Probably not a true fast..... due to the Monsters.

I pretty much do. I rarely eat breakfast unless I skipped supper or just snacked the night before and then I might stop for a biscuit on the way up the road. Once I'm rolling I don't stop until done usually catching a burger/taco/gyro on the way back to the barn, usually after 1-2 o'clock. If its really hot and I'm drained not even that as I just can't eat when overheated, it makes me sick. On days like that I crave a salad or something light for supper. Supper is my big meal of the day though if I didnt load up at lunch on a light day.

I do try to stay hydrated though. Just not always with the best liquids. 20oz mug of strong black coffee to start, same amount of sweet, and I mean sweet, tea kicks off the day. I down the tea before leaving and nurse the coffee on the road. If hot I'll grab a couple quart powerades if I bother to stop anywhere. But I got to watch those as they can give me heartburn. Otherwise I might have a single pepsi or rootbeer for the drive.

I've done it 4 or 5 times. 5 days was the longest. Most 3 days.i usually plan it for the last two days to end on the weekend. Won't do it if i know I got any really physical work coming up. Its not really to bad. Day 5 i can start having a little shortness of stamina. In some ways you actually feel good while fasting

What was hard was when I had to cook for the boys but couldn't eat.

Most days I only eat one big meal (evening), maybe a light snack mid day.

If I eat breakfast, than I pretty much have to eat a lunch as I’ll be hungry by 1-2pm (if I start my day around 4-5 am).

I don’t know if it’s aging, or getting off the snuff, but if im really going hard, the last few years I’ve noticed a little snack mid day really perks me up.

Back when I was on the Copenhagen I could go days with little to no food. And go hard.

Amazing stuff! Man I miss it.

I wouldn't want to do it when ur setting around doing nothing or u would be constantly thinking about it

Do t eat carbs for lunch, eat protein. If you eat carbs you'll get a crash after lunch, better to focus on protein

Guess who doesn't smoke or is able to drink in the boat

….. you can’t go 6 hours without a couple drumsticks and a slice of melon and you know it lol

Yeah most guys I see out here who can go long periods without much food dip or smoke ....that stuff is a hunger suppressor right ?

… get yourself a pack of them berry flavored swishers

Yeah I'm on like day 6 what km doing would be more intermediate fasting.jnhave to eat something every 6hr or so or I'll just plain fall out and I really really don't wanna go though all the stuff I had to last one I had to get off the boat for medical stuff....that was ...fun.. but I'm trying to at least stay under 1000 calories and stay way from a few type of food when I do.... Temptations and all that

Gotta pack of camel crush silvers I keep around ....gotta have that menthol when I need to smoke, but if you see me smoking I'm stressed out been what .... 5 moths since my last one ? Remember I downed 3 packs on my wedding day .... Still don't remember 70% of it

…. Pack yourself a hamhock and a pigsfoot… that’ll get you through

Lol

Lol

Remember her uncles who married us saying don't worry they'll get me thought it one way or another ...they could wing me by the time I made to to the door and drag me back
