According to the Gita, how do I abandon fruits of my karma? Should I donate my whole salary and stay hungry?

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!

yukta-svapnāvabodhasya yogo bhavati duḥkha-hā।। 6.17

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!
