Your Diet during Ramadan
When I say the word diet, I don't necessarily mean "diet" as in to lose weight, but the actual dictionary defintion of the word
"The usual food and drink of a person". Hello/Salam to my fellow muslim and non-muslim friends! I thought it would be a nice idea to start a thread to help each other whilst we fast during Ramadan, and give each other support and encouragement during this year's Ramadan. We can share our thoughts on certain aspects of our lives that we want to improve on and work on, on what we ate and what we got up to during the day. Maybe share what we are thankful for, even small blessings, like being able to walk -stuff like that :) Maybe everyday we can all say one thing we are thankful for. I was just wondering if there are any other muslims out there, that will be trying to eat healthily during Ramadan. I found this very nice and inspiring article about advice during Ramadan. Ramadan is a spirtual cleansing month not only for the soul but also for the body. http://www.islamonline.net/english/S...article5.shtml I know for me personally, each Ramadan I have had a tendency to over-eat after breaking my fast. But this time, I want to really practice constraint, and listen to my stomach when it is comfortably full. I have started for the past few days, following the concept of eating slowly and stop eating when I have reached satisfaction or I am comfortably full (Paul Mckenna's golden rules). I hope to continue doing this during Ramadan. And I once heard about the Hadith that the Prophet (pbuh) said that leave 1/3 of your stomach for water, 1/3 for air, and 1/3 for food. I was just wondering how other muslims are going to cope during this Ramadan. I know Ramadan is not about losing weight, but I know personally for me, I would like to use this opportunity, to address my issue of gluttony and use control and constraint on what I eat. As in the past I have had a tendency to overeat and then feel uncomfortable and stuffed. Also I will try to get in some exercise during Ramadan ,I haven't decided when I will get in the exercise, and what I will be doing exactly. And another interesting article http://www.crescentlife.com/spiritua...ng_ramadan.htm {quote} Normal or overweight people should not gain weight. For overweight people Ramadan is an excellent opportunity to lose weight. Underweight or marginally normal weight people are discouraged from losing weight. It is recommended that everyone engage in some kind of light exercise, such as stretching or walking. It's important to follow good time management practices for Ibada (prayer and other religious activities), sleep, studies, job, and physical activities or exercise. Ramadan fasting has spiritual, physical, psychological, and social benefits; however, man-made problems may occur, if fasting is not properly practiced. First of all, there is no need to consume excess food at iftar (the food eaten immediately after sunset to break fast), dinner or sahur ( the light meal generally eaten about half an hour to one hour before dawn). The body has regulatory mechanisms that activate during fasting. There is efficient utilization of body fat, El Ati et al.(3) . Basal metabolism slows down during Ramadan fasting, Husain et al. (4). A diet that is less than a normal amount of food intake but balanced is sufficient enough to keep a person healthy and active during the month of Ramadan. In summary, intake of a balanced diet is critical to maintain good health, sustain an active lifestyle and attain the full benefits of Ramadan. {end quote} I wish you all a Blessed month of Ramadan. And I look forward to your posts during Ramadan, which I believe will be starting end of this week, possibly friday/saturday. |
hey salaam!
great 2 see u are planning for Ramadan. I usually have gained weight during ramadan in the past because all of the good food being served is so good!! but this ramadan i'm planning to break my fast with healthier higher protein options instead of filling up on empty carbs and oily foods. i'm trying to just eat the same way but just moving around when i eat what. i definitely plan to eat something high in protein and fiber for suhur. i love ramadan! can't wait. i'll post here too |
Hey Salam Caliyah! how lovely to have you join me in this thread!! thanks so much for your lovely message and your kind words!
That sounds like a great plan! I am also planning on breaking my fast, with dates, and milk, and fruit. and then pray and then have a nice meal. :) I cant wait too, its going to be an exciting challenge! I'm looking forward to it :) ps well done on your weight loss so far! that is great! |
asalamu alaikum
i usually wind up overeating when i break my fast. this ramadan inshallah i going to keep that in check though. i plan to try and give up junk food this ramadan. and start healthy eating habits again. |
thanks echo! we can do this! = ) inshA
i decided for this ramadan that samosas and fried foods are off my list until Eid! and definitely no visits to 'snackalicious cinderella falafel cafe' in new york lol it's going to be hard = / honestly...i would do the whole calorie counting and all but when it comes to ramadan cooking i can't stop at just one. i totally understand how u feel helwa. there are some stuff that i found on ramadan/dieting etc. that i'll try to post here when i can inshallah hugs ladies |
Hey Salam Helwa! welcome !! glad to have you on board, and that is such a great idea to eat healthy during Ramadan :)
--- Caliyah - hehe exactly, together we can do this!! inshaA. oooh i love keema (meat) samosas, so yum! but yes, i will keep fried things to a minimum also! wow that cafe sounds lovely!! that would be super if you could post things about ramadan and dieting. thanks!! :) :hug: :hug: to you both :) |
oh yeah samosas are the biggest temptation during ramadan because they taste the yummiest during that time. i don't know what it is but i don't even eat samosas outside of ramadan lol!
|
Oh, I am soo glad I found this thread!!
I have been reading the same articles you posted about ramadan and weight management. For me the key is to force myself to eat before Fajr (I live in montreal so it's 4:30am at my time). Eating proteins, and taking some vitamins is probably a good idea. Then exercising is the other issue. But I read an article somewhere (can't find it again :-( that if you want to exercise then you should probably eat a small fruit and drink some water/juice then work, and then eat your meal. But I agree with of the authors, Ramadan helps to clean your body and your mind. So we should try to use it to achieve goals (spiritual ones and physical ones). It's not easy but we will feel great at the end. I'm excited about this thread! |
Yai Salaam, I was seriously looking for a thread about Ramadan as well. My plan has been to lose 10 lbs every month and I hope I lose 10 lbs in Ramadan as well. We can share our tactics and eating habits here.
Ramadan Mubaruk to all |
lol helwa - i could samosas everyday! hehe
--- Miss Maya! :welcome3: so nice to have you join us!!! I am the same as you, exercising being an issue, i really like exercising first thing in the morning. so i'm not sure how i am going to arrange my exercise around fasting, but will figure it out! that's a really good tip about exercising after breaking your fast with fruit and water. Aww i'm so happy you like this thread! --- Alias! :welcome2: !! so glad you found us ! 10lbs aim each month, is so awesome! I agree, we can share what we're doing during ramadan. Khair Ramadan Mubarak. exciting, its nearly here!! its going to be a very good challenge for us. -- I just found out i have my viva examination on 28th of september, so i'm going to be studying/revising during ramadan, so i think i will aim to get majority of my studying done when i wake up for iftari/fajr - in the morning..., cause i might struggle later on in the day to study when i start to get hungry, as i lose concentration. inshaAllah I hope to get God's blessing in my studies during Ramadan. Good luck everyone! |
Ramadan Mubarak!! It's been confirmed that fasting will start on saturday, for London (uk), I just printed out the time table. the first fast on saturday for london, will start at 4.06am.

ps i just wanted to share something with you girls.
i was looking for shin stretches, and would you believe it , a good stretch for shins, involves the same position, we sit in , after we prostate, ie sitting on your legs, when we are sitting down. isn't that amazing :) prayer is not only good for the soul, but good for the physical body aswell. :) i think i once read that its good for the lymphatic system, but i will need to check that out to make sure :) good luck everyone on your first fast. |
this is a wonderful thread !
this morning our fast officially began at 4:31 AM ( i live in nyc ) so far so good im actually not hungry (yet lolz) for breakfast this morning i had 1 paratha 1/2 cup dahi yogurt (seasoned with salt and cayane pepper ) (channa and cucumbers in the yogurt) a peach and a xl cup of tea ... (1/4 cup milk 2% milk 2 tbs sugar ) im afraid of doing excersize in the morning incase i feel sick during the day i plan to do 2 miles walking tonight and keep it up 3x a week ( its not as much as i usually do but i want to see how i do with that first ) LOLZ @ chubby chick only liking samosas during ramadaan , my aunt that we usually break our fast with lives in jackson heights ( its an indian neighboorhood in NY, TONS of resturaunts ) ..... i hope i have what it takes to pass kabab king without buying anything unnessicary ...... they make the best chicken tikka massala .... :( i really really hope that i find the strength to not eat like crazy when fast breaks i keep on telling myself that is not how allah intended the fast to go .... and that its gluttonus so far i think thats had an impact on how i see the breaking of the fast ... ive never really considered that when i break my fast and eat like crazy that defeats the whole purpose of the fast .... thanks for the great thread its great to have other ppl to talk to on this subject .... ramadaan muhbarak ladies -khuda hafiz |
Originally Posted by CHUNKEY_MUNKEY: your morning meal sounds very good and yummy! and wow i love chicken tikka masala myself!! you are so right, about not eating crazy when breaking fast hehe. you're so right in that it defeats the purpose, i am more aware of it now. it definately helps to talk about it, to keep remining myself too. --- |
Fast no# 1
It went pretty well. The only thing i really noticed was that I was thirsty, but just tried to not think about it, and just studied. -- Just before the fast was going to open, i went for a little walk in the garden (10minutes). Breaking the fast. I had 3 dates and a large glass of water. Boy was i thirsty! But I think i ate the dates abit too quickly as my tummy hurt abit, so tommorow, i will just eat 1 date and eat it slowly. Then... for starters, my mom made fruit chaat, yummy :hun: i had 2 small bowls, and ate that slowly , about 20 minutes i think. i've heard that its good to start the meal with fruit, as your stomach is sensitive, after a fast and fruit is something light and easily digestible. then took abit of a break, before eating main meal, which was chicken curry, and i didnt want to eat roti, as that would have filled me up too quickly, so i had a nice salad with it and some yoghurt. salad was romaine lettuce, red onions, cucumber, red radish, fresh mint, carrots and tomato. then had a few kettle chips - black pepper flavour hehe. i took about 15 minutes to eat that. i tried to slow it down. and I was full. I think tommorow i might just have 1 bowl of fruit salad, as i am a teeny tinsy bit over-ful. oopsy. Then I had 100ml of 7up hehe. And now for dessert i am going to have 2 kit kat fingers. i've been craving them for weeks, so finally going to treat myself hehe -- Hope you ladies had a good first fast! |
ramadan mubarak!! salaam ladies
sorry for not posting in a while. i found the link: http://islamic-world.net/sister/h22.htm it has some interesting points. it's TOM so i can't fast yet but I'm really looking forward to it. thanks Echo for starting this thread! =) |
my first day went OK. i didn't overeat at iftar and i even got some exercise in.
|
I agree that this is an awsome thread. So happy to have found it :)
I love Ramadan and see it as a good opportunity to lose weight while at the same time never losing sight of its true meaning. I'm an exercise freak and usually exercise 5-6 times a week for 90 mins a session so am already missing it after one day of fasting. Luckily my gym closes at 11pm so I can go after I break my fast. I've had trouble losing weight though and have decided to change my aproach. I'm very strong and fit but bulkier than I'd like to be - I do like to eat! So I've decided to cut out all processed foods and the treats I enjoy like cakes, cookies, crisps and chocolate. Also, I've reduced my portion sizes. I'm 3 weeks in and am not missing any of it. I hope it continues. My problem in Ramadan is eating so early in the morning. Here in Korea it's about 04.30. I find if I eat carbs I feel ill and very uncomfortable all day. Now for example, these past 2 mornings I've eaten half an apple, half an orange and 2 dates and I feel amazing and very energetic. At night I'd have something like chicken or fish with fruit and vegetables. And one carb - maybe a slice of wholegrain bread or a baked potato. Then a workout after. Would it be ok to continue this way? Any advice would be appreciated. Once again, I'm ecstatic to have found this thread and eager to read about everyone's weight loss experiences. I hope we all reach our goals :) |

My sehri (fast no#2)
I went to bed at 11pm last night, i was knackered. I woke up at 2.50am, overslept abit hehe. oopsy. I did 30 minutes of exercise - I felt very alert, and not tired at all. I drank 600ml of water. I had 1 french toast. Then after Fajr, I studied for abit, and went to bed around 5.30am, and woke up at 11.30am. Today I feel good, not thirsty, abit hungry, but not too bad, it comes and goes. And I dont feel tired, which is good :) I think my body is slowly getting used to the new routine. How are you girls doing? what did you have for sehri? |
Thanks for the reply Echo :)
Your day sounds like it's going as well as mine. I was a bit nervous this morning because I'm back at work after vacation. I'm a teacher so that involves a lot of talking! I had my usual fruit (apple), 2 dates and 500ml of water for sehri which doesn't sound much but like I said I don't function very well on more than that. My classes are done for the day and they went wonderfully. Feeling thirsty which is undestandable but otherwise great. Looking forward to gym tonight! Hoping everyone else is doing well too. |
So happy to know that I am not the only one who sees Ramadan as an opportunity to cleanse oneself and not just losing weight but spritually as well.
As a start, I am determined to be an early riser and I take the Sahur for the next 30 days as my training to wake up early. See I never thought myself as a morning person but I read that there is a lot of benefits to waking up early. You have a lot more time for yourself, exercise and the list just goes on. It has been a challenge these couple of days but I am getting better not hitting the snooze at 4.30am. My next challenge will be to do some mini exercise after morning prayers, since its the Ramadan I am steering away from cardio cos I tend to get thirsty almost immediately so I may start with simple yoga or weights. I am starting really slowly...starting with 5 minutes of exercise and working to 45 minutes to an hour daily. I want the change to be permanent so I dont want to overload with too many changes happening at any one time. My body need to adjust and adapt accordingly. Besides, long term and permanent results works better than fast result thats temporary. Wish everyone on this spiritual and physical journey all the best! and wish me luck too! |

Fast no# 2 (yesterday's fast update).
It went well, I tried to be quite active during the day, to increase the number of steps during the day, but i think by night time it really hit me! For iftari, I opened my fast, with a large glass of water and 1 date. and then abit later on I had homemade pizza, that my dad made especially - it was delicious, and I overate ooopsy, I should have stopped at 2 slices, but I just couldnt resist eating one more slice. So felt guilty about that. as I did overeat by eating 3 slices. i would have been comfortably full at 2 slices or even 2 and half. hehe and I had 2 glasses of 7up. But this morning for sehri, I didn't hear my alarm ! So I wasnt able to drink my water that I had placed next to my bed, by the time I heard my alarm, it was fajr, and I was so tired, i didn't get out of bed. I feel very guilty about that. So tommorow morning, I am going to set more alarms and get up no matter how tired i am. I guess its a learning process, and everyday just need to improve on the past mistakes. Today exercise wise, is my scheduled day off, so i will just do some light stretches and maybe a light walk in the garden. and today at iftari, I plan to stop eating when i am comfortably full and not over-eat! inshaAllah. have a good day girls! :) This accountability and reflecting upon each fast is really helping me, thanks for joining in, I really appreciate it. |
salaam
woww!! i'm inspired with how dedicated everyone is. many people don't do any exercise during ramadan (me included) but this year it will be different. i just didn't figure when to work out! so i'm guessing before sahur will be the time - i have a treadmill at home i plan to run on. = ) Echo you are doing great. just so long as you count calories you should be fine inshallah Janelee welcome! those are some good exercise ideas for ramadan. i really feel i get so much clarity during the ramadan fast Tagan there are some good links to help you with menu/activity planning. Make sure you get enough calories for the day so you can really burn everything off. helwa how have you been? chunkeymunkey i just wanted to say wow you are doing really amazing on your weight loss! so great to see so many 3FCers doing ramadan = ) Okay so I wanted to ask everyone..what are their favorite Ramadan recipes? I've been trying my hand at different recipes and it's been fun, especially working on making 'healthy' ramadan recipes. So if you all could post your favorite recipes I'd love to try them out! = ) For anyone doing heavy duty gym training during Ramadan- I am pasting the following article I found while researching: What Is The Best Diet For Ramadan? - Personal Trainer Explains As a Singapore Personal Trainer and fitness bootcamp owner, one of the issues we have to help clients with in our multi-racial country of Singapore is the fasting month of ramadan. There are personal training and fitness bootcamp members at the Genesis Performance Center who are going into the fasting month soon this year. And recently they have been wondering what would be the best way to maintain their fat loss, weight loss and muscle building results that they have gotten. This is often a big concern to them because after some time in our programs they already have very healthy habits and lifestyles. In fact when I was working at the Singapore Sports School, we did research on how to help Muslim athletes perform well even during fasting month/ramadan. Training and international competitions still go on despite the fasting month. So here are my recommendations... Either train early in the morning (immediately after the morning break fast) or at night (after the evening break fast) If you train in the morning, do it at about 730am or 8am if you do it in the evening, do it at about 8pm. This is so that you don't train on a super full stomach. Even though we may not get the ideal 6 feeding opportunities per day, we should get at least 3 good ones. Morning break fast, evening break fast, and one more big meal before bed. These meals should be slow digesting ones so that you stay full longer. That means no starchy bad stuff. More protein and healthy fats which digest slowly. So a sample daily timetable for morning training would be: * 6am breakfast - eggs, meat, nuts, cheese, a whey protein shake * 730am training * 715pm breakfast (evening) - eggs, meat, nuts, cheese, a caesin protein shake * 10pm supper - eggs, meat, nuts, cheese, casein protein shake For evening training: * 6am breakfast - eggs, meat, nuts, cheese, a casein protein shake * 715pm breakfast (evening) - eggs, meat, nuts, cheese, a whey protein shake * 8pm training - another whey protein shake post workout * 10pm supper - eggs, meat, nuts, cheese, casein protein shake There we go! It's not ideal, but it's good enough that you shouldn't lose too much progress during fasting month. NOTE: Drink water in large amounts as often as you can during the times when you are allowed to. You should be needing constant toilet breaks and your urine should be colorless - that is the correct amount!

hello ladies ! ...
this morning i started my fast with 1 and 1/2 cups low sugar raisen bran cereal 1 cup 2% milk and 1 serving almonds i must say so far so good its 2:41 and im not hungry ( yet lolz ) i really could drink something though .... but i can make it im not desperate yet :P i was kind of wondering ( my weight loss plan is calorie counting / weight watchers points i kind of wobble back and forth between the two )seeing as how most of us eat only two meals during ramadan instead of the ( 3 usual or 5 mini meals ) should i also be cutting my calories for those missed meals? or is it ok to just put my calories into two larger meals the calorie count for my breakfast was as follows milk 1 cup 190 calories ( basically 200 ) Cereal 1+1/2 cup 315 calories ( i count that as 300 ) and the almonds where 180 ( round that up to 200 ) that makes my total calorie count 700 calories in one meal..... is that going to hinder my weight loss? any and all advice appreciated i <3 u guys btw evreyone has been doing great !! helwa58 congrats on the effort to excersize thats awesome !!! caliyah lolz @ not having figured out when to work out .... me neither i know id like to but im thinking about when would be the best time lolz im using the first couple of days to see how things go .... echo i agree , accounting for what your day went like helps keep on track ! |
Caliyah - Thank you! :)
yeh i've never exercised during ramadan before, this is my first time. that's totally awesome you're going to exercise aswell before sahoor! great idea !! thanks for the article! very useful :) --- Wow Helwa! you totally rock not overeating at iftari, well done also on the exercise! --- CM - aww i'm happy you agree that accounting helps sounds like you've been eating very healthily! well done! sorry i cant advice on calorie counting :(. as i dont calorie count. I'm doing Paul Mckenna's 4 golden rules (from his 'i can make you thin' book and tv show and CDs), it's working great for me personally :) --- |
Fast #3
Exercise - 1 hour of X stretch (p90x) Iftari - 1 date, large glass of water. 1/4 cup of fruit chaat (fruit salad). Dinner - 5 onion pakore with some ketchup. (bless my parents they wanted to make something special today aswell and tried this new recipe they saw on telly). 1/4 roti. Salad, one serving spoon of brown daal. dessert - 1 scoop of gajar ka halwa (sweet carrot pudding) with 1 scoop of cornish vanilla ice cream. very decadent i know, but it's totally fine, cause I followed the 4 golden rules (eat when you are hungry (lol that's easy), eat consciously - SLOWLY i took 40 minutes to eat the entire meal including dessert)... eat what you want (yep check!) and stop when you think you are full. I stopped eating when i was comfortably full :) did not over eat today alhumdullilah. |
Fast no#4
I only drank water for sehri and I am so regretting it now hehe. I wasn't hungry, and thought I will just have a large glass of water and be okay. But around 5pm - it really hit me, and I had a slight headache, and was feeling a little bit light headed and really tired, and I realised I really ought to make an effort to eat something in the morning, even if its just like fruit and fibre cereal. I'm feeling okay now alhumdullilah :) it didnt last long thankfully. So tommorow morning inshaAllah I will definately eat something. I also didn't exercise in the morning, just went back to sleep after Fajr. But tommorow I wanna go back to the morning ritual, of exercising and eating breakfast at sehri, it works for me :). How are you girls getting on with your fasting? I was reading some of the health benefits of fasting, and found some interesting points: Originally Posted by : Originally Posted by : Originally Posted by : |

I started reading your link and you all sound great. I live in the Detroit area, and I have to tell you this is going to be a looong Ramadan...I am just so sleepy! After waking up for sahar at 4:45am it is too hard to go back to sleep so I just get ready, get the kids ready and go to work. How are you all managing? I had a hard time eating this morning though! I look forward to chatting with all of you. Sara |

Fast no# 4.
sehri - 600ml of water. iftar. 1 date. some water. a small bowl of fruit chaat. exercise: 30 minute walk in the garden around midday. and 40 minute walk just before iftari. dinner - 1 and half slice of home made pizza. 1 onion pakora. Some salad. dessert - 2 cups of sabaz chai (kashmiri chai - the tea that is pink !). altogether drank just under 1.5 litres of water i think. |
I made progress today and progress has been slow. Woke up at about 5.45am for Fajr prayers and because I was still full from Sahur, I decided to wait for an hour before I did some mini yoga. Big mistake! End up sleeping and only woke 3 hours later.
Today I shall resolve to do some mini work before I start my day for an hour before my exercise. That way I get to start on work and exercise before I hit the office! |
Re : Your Diet during Ramadan
You are right. Forum and thread is the right way to share and solve each other problems. So, really help at any confusion. Thanks for sharing this information. I read your articles, it really very nice.
|
JaneLee good luck with your exercise plan!
I myself didnt wake up for sehri, i think i must have turned off my alarm in my sleep! cause by the time i heard my second alarm for fajr, i looked at the clock and i missed sehri by 1 minute!! ahh i was gutted, as i had a big glass of water next to my bed ready to drink! That will teach me to set only 1 alarm. so i've now set several alarms and am determined to wake up for sehri tommorow and have some water and maybe something to eat. == MiletJohn thanks so much :) :welcome: --------------------------------------- Today I am planning on exercising about 2 hours before Iftar, that way I wont be dehydrated for very long and can drink water straight after my workout. well that's the plan! i hope by 6pm, i wont be too tired. right now i have alot of energy, but i cant workout now, cause then will be too thirsty for the rest of the day to make it for 8pm |
