How can I have a healthy Ramadan and lose weight?
👏🏼😅The most common question asked , I will sum it up to you with a few tips to help you get the best out of Ramadan. 🌙
✅Try to break your fast with dates as per the suna سنة , as they are a rich source of fibre , potassium, copper and manganese. Additionally, they can help retain any lost nutrients during the fasting period.
✅ Make sure to drink plenty of fluids once you break your fast as you can become mildly dehydrated ( water, soup, yogurt , smoothies or freshly squeezed juices in moderation )
✅ Eat Slowly, I can’t stress enough on this note as it does all the difference, try to eat your main course 15 minutes following the appetisers (date , soup , salad). This will prevent you from overeating and will in turn help your digestive system.
✅ For your main meal choose grilled , baked lean protein varieties and try to choose whole grain options such as brown rice , bulgur , quinoa...etc.
✅ Exercise or walk 30minutes -1 hour before eftar time , this is when your body optimises fat loss.
✅ Finally for suhoor make sure to consume fluid rich foods/ fruits , whole grain options like oats and whole grain bread, in addition to protein options as they can keep you full for longer during your fasting period.
🤗🌙 Don’t overindulge over sweets! Treat yourself every once in a while and try to have grilled rather than fried options. Think about others , and try to reduce food waste. 🍋🍓🍇Ramadan Kareem 🌙
