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

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.

Bother me tomorrow. Today I'll buy no sorrows.

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. …. Nobody likes a quitter Boone

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

It doesn't work well, quit drinking or smoking or something else, your body doesn't recover if you work without food. Guess who doesn't smoke or is able to drink in the boat

Amazing stuff! Man I miss it. 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 ?

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 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
