Weight Gain in Ramadan

Stay tuned for the one habit that makes gaining weight while fasting possible.

Realistic Goal

Aim to hold steady or add up to half a kilo each week.

Check Health First

Before Ramadan begins, check both religious exemption and medical safety. If you’re losing weight unintentionally, see a doctor.

Suhoor Power Plate

Suhoor must fuel a 13-15 hour fast, so include protein, fat, and slow carbs. Eat it as late as you can. A typical suhoor could be a paratha with two eggs cooked in a teaspoon of ghee, a small bowl of yogurt, and a banana.

Iftar & Late Meal

Break the fast with three dates and water, then enjoy a light chana chaat. Skip fried pakoras at the start; they fill you up and push out the nutritious meal. After 60-90 minutes, have a proper meal with phulkas, dal, and a bit of ghee.

Night Shake

Blend milk, banana, peanut butter and dates for a quick night shake, sip it slowly after taraweeh, about an hour before sleep.

Stay Strong

Do light strength work like squats or wall push-ups 60-90 minutes after iftar. Keep drinking 8-10 glasses of water between meals and take a short nap if needed. Stay out of midday sun; if you feel dizzy, sit down and reassess your fasting plan.

Hydration Goal

Spread eight to ten glasses of water from sunset to sunrise to stay hydrated and curb thirst.

The one habit

The single most effective habit is never skipping suhoor, it gives you the calories and nutrients you need for the long fast. Aim for a modest gain of a quarter to half a kilogram each week, not rapid spikes.
