Ramadan Meal Guide

"Almost 6 out of 10 reported weight gain after Ramadan" Balkees Abed Bakhotmah of the Department of Nutrition & Food Sciences, College of Home Economy, King Abdulaziz University.

Ramadan is an opportunity to stop bad habits that negatively affect our health and adopt healthier and nutritious diets.

When done right, fasting relieves and strengthens the digestive system while increasing its efficiency, and helps adjust fatty lipid levels in the blood.

Without a good plan, people often break their fast with lavish feasts rich in a variety of dishes, sweets, and fried food, leading to an increase in cholesterol, and perhaps diabetes and weight gain which is the opposite of what the fasting person should achieve.

Provide adequate and the correct nourishment for your body through the fasting period

Let's leave weight loss or weight gain aside.

Here are some advantages of using a meal guide during Ramadan.

1. Reduces your stress: the stress of that last-minute thinking of what to cook is no longer there with a meal plan.
2. Fewer visits to the markets or stores: When you have a meal plan, especially like this one, you are considering purchasing something that has a grocery list, then you can plan your visits to the market or order according to what you need. You are saving time and energy 😎.
3. Less wastage of food: You have a plan, you know the portions. So you are making precisely what you need. Wastage is greatly reduced and most times eliminated.
4. Portion control: This meal plan you will be purchasing today has your meal measurements for Sahur, Iftar, an extra meal, and even a snack option if you want to. So you will be able to control your portions and still get all the nourishment your body needs.
5. Staying Fit & healthy: Through this meal plan, you will still be able to eat regular meals every day while still staying healthy and nourished.
