The month of Ramadan offers you an opportunity to not only transform yourself spiritually but also physically. Here are some tips on how to opt for a healthier lifestyle and lose weight this Ramadan.
Don’t Skip Sehri
Just like breakfast is the most important meal of your day, Sehri is the most important meal of your fast. Skipping Sehri doesn’t lead to weight gain directly, but it can elongate the time period of your fast and make you hungrier resulting in overeating at Iftar.
It is recommended to drink a few glasses of water to stay hydrated and eat a meal rich in proteins, healthy fats and fiber, in Sehri to stay energized throughout the day.

Avoid Overeating At Iftar
Ensure that you eat a low calorie and nutritious Iftar, as well as drink hydrating beverages to stay hydrated and to feel fuller. Eat dinner after 1-2 hours of Iftar to prevent yourself from feeling lethargy and to maintain a healthy digestive system.
Try to cut down on processed snacks, high-sugar food items, and carbonated drinks and instead utilize your free time at home to prepare healthy homemade meals.
