Says Sri Krishna in the 6th Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita —

O Arjuna! Yoga is not for him who eats too much or doesn't eat all; Yoga is not for him who sleeps too much or doesn't sleep at all

Abandoning the fruits of actions means you offer the results of your actions to God. This doesn't mean that you will not receive the fruits of your actions. You certainly will! But when you work, you must perform it as an offering unto God and leave the results in His hands. You don't think about the results of your actions while you are working, and even after you are done with your work!

So that way, you cannot abandon the fruits of your action. Now you will be attached to the action of donating all your money and staying hungry!
