3. FASTING MENU 16/8 for 7 days for TAXI/ TRUCK/ TRUCK DRIVERS

WHEN you eat and WHAT you eat to be both healthy and full

Real context:

• 8—10+ hours in the chair
• little movement
• constant access to “bad” food
• hunger more psychological than physical

👉 If you are wrong here, they appear:

• bloating
• somnolence
• continuous craving for munching

⏰ WHEN it is advisable to eat (16/8 realistic)

Recommended variant (most drivers)

• Post:7:00 p.m. — 11:00 a.m.
• Tables: 11:00 a.m. — 12:00 p.m.and 6 p.m. — 7 p.m.

Why NOT later

• digestion is slower when sitting down
• eating late at night = reflux + bad sleep
• eating in the car → overeating

🍽️ HOW MANY MEALS?

👉 2 large meals/day

❌ NO SNACKS

❌ DO NOT “nibble anything anymore”

Perpetual snacking keeps insulin up and spoils the post, even if you “eat little.

🧠 What meals should contain (metabolic logic)

1 ️ ⃣ PROTEIN (base)

• chicken, turkey, fish, eggs
• keeps hungry
• prevents compulsive eating

2 ️ ⃣ FIBERS & VOLUME

• salads, cabbage, cooked vegetables
• give satiety without many calories
• helps digestion by sitting down

3 ️ ⃣ GOOD FATS (moderate)

• olive oil
• walnuts
• avocado

⚠️ too much fat = drowsiness at the wheel

4 ️ ⃣ CARBOHYDRATES (few, but existing)

• Baked potatoes
• rice
• legumes

👉 total elimination leads to:

• nervousness
• craving for sweet
• eaten at night

❌ WHAT YOU DON'T EAT AS A DRIVER

• pretzels
• pastry
• sweets
• fast food
• snacks “on the go”

Even though “there are few”, they are continuar→ big problem.

🧃 Moisturizing (very important)

• constant flat water
• simple coffee OK
• ❌ juices, energizers

If you drink juices → false hunger.

‍

• ✔️ Meals are crisp and consistent
• ✔️ Sauces are kept separately

For taxi, maxi-taxi or TIR drivers, the 16/8 intermittent fasting only works if meals are well planned. Organized eating prevents drowsiness, bloating and a constant craving for munching.

‍

4. FASTING MENU 16/8 for 7 days for 🥼 DOCTOR/DENTIST

🧠 REALITY OF THE JOB

• You can NOT eat a lot and often
• You can NOT have heavy meals at lunch
• You can't eat “when you want”
• You are NOT allowed to:
  • hypoglycaemia
  • brain fog
  • intense hunger

👉 Here the post is NOT about “losing weight quickly”, but about mental stability.

⏰ WHEN YOU EAT — REALISTIC VARIATIONS

🔹 Option A — DAY SHIFT (12—14 hours)

👉 the most common

• Post:8 p.m. — 12:00 p.m.
• Window:12pm — 8pm

✔️ similar to office, BUT table structure differs

🔹 Variant B — VERY LONG TRIP (24 h)

👉 DO NOT force 16/8 strictly

• Flexible post: 14—16 hours
• Priority: mental functioning, not perfection

In 24-hour guards, intermittent fasting must be adapted. Stiffness is a mistake.

🍽️ HOW YOU EAT — THE ABSOLUTE KEY

🔑 Principle No. ! 1

👉 Small, clear, planned meals, I do not “eat when I grab”.

🔑 Principle No. ! 2

👉 Combination of:

• lightweight solid
• Nourishing liquid
• controlled fats

🥣 LIQUID — lifesaver in long shifts

What is IDEAL

• soup/clear soup
• cream soup (without flour)
• bone broth

✔️ easy to consume

✔️ does not cause drowsiness

✔️ helps moisturize

🥩 SOLID — but strategic

When you eat solid

• at the beginning of the window
• when you have real break (10—20 min)

What you eat solid

• grilled meat
• meat in the airfryer
• eggs
• fish

👉 no heavy frying

🥜 NUTS, PISTACHIOS, SEEDS — YES, BUT WITH RULES

Why they are useful

⚠️ small, controlled portion

• max 20—30 g

‍

5. FASTING MENU 16/8 for 7 days for 🍹 WAITER/BARTENDER

⏱️ 1. ACTUAL WORK SCHEDULE

Waiter/Bartender

• shifts long, frequently 12—14 hours
• programme mostly evening/night
• peak hours = zero pauses
• eaten “on the grab”, not organized

👉 The harsh reality: no clear meal breaksbetween 18:00 — 22:00.

🧠 2. TYPE OF EFFORT

• stand a lot
• continuous walking
• raised trays/crates
• multitasking + social stress

⚠️ The combination is dangerous for fasting:

• physical exertion + lack of food = energy drop
• eaten too late = bad digestion + poor sleep

💧 3. HYDRATION — PROBLEM NO. ! 1

What happens in reality

• very much talked
• hot/dry air
• alcohol all around (but NOT real hydration)
• Coffee before the turn

👉 Most of the waitresses/bartenders are chronically dehydrated.

🍽️ 4. ACTUAL TIME FOR EATING

Realistically speaking

• 5—10 minutes max, often standing, and even eaten on the run

👉 That means:
