Dear Fat Loss Subscriber,
The Ramadan Fasting has officially begun. I have received so
many emails from subscribers over the past few days asking for
advice on how to eat healthy and lose weight during this
period.
I one wrote a short article about this last year(2013) and you
can read last years article at this link
But this year, I have decided to go the extra mile.
As your Nutrition and Fitness Coach, I
have decided to write you a more comprehensive guide to a
healthy fasting during Ramadan.
Both Christians and Muslims practice fasting. While the Muslim
fasting is called "Ramadan", the Christians fasting is popularly
known as Lent.
Fasting generally is a GREAT opportunity to strengthen yourself
spiritually and to give yourself an opportunity to practice self
restraint.
The
Ramadan Fasting Is Also An Excellent
Time To Shed Some Extra Pounds Of Excess Fat
While Observing Spiritual Obligation.
This comprehensive guide
applies to both Christians & Muslims, so if you fast at any
point in time, you can refer to this comprehensive guide to
fasting.
RULE
#1 - Fasting Is Good for your Healthy If Done Correctly
You will lose weight if you starve your body of food.
Your body will start to burn your
body's excess fat and use it as energy to keep your organs,
system functioning.
However, if you starve your body of food for too long, your
body's metabolism will start to slow down and you will start
losing muscles which will make you feel tired easily, famished
and even cranky.
But The Good News Is....
Ramadan fast only last from dawn till dusk. This means you will
NOT be fasting for too long and your predawn and dusk meals can
be used to replenish your body and keep the metabolism going
very fast.
When you eat "Pre dawn" and "Dusk" meals, and your metabolism
keeps burning off lots of the food, it continues to burn off the
excess fat too.
Rule
#2 - Eat The Right Amount Of Calories
Don't break your fast with overeating. If you do, you might be
eating more calories than your body require daily.
I know it's tempting to want to eat as much food as possible
because you've been fasting all day, but put "discipline" at the
back of your mind.
Remember, discipline and self control
is one of the messages behind fasting.

Rule #3 -
Break Your Fast With Weight Loss Foods
Be choosy about the types of meals you use in breaking your
fast. If you are currently on my program -
The 30 Day Fat Loss Program, use the meal ideas in the meal
plan to break your fast.
Break your fast with weight loss foods that are very high in
fibre. You should make sure it contains foods from all of these
major food groups:
Fruits & Vegetables e.g. Ugwu, Apple, Mango, Cucumbers
etc
Complex carbs e.g. Potatoes, bran, cereal
Meat and fish e.g. Lean beef, tilapia, titus, cat fish,
egg etc
To give you direction on exactly how to cook weight loss meals
that you can eat to break your fast, you can get a copy of my
new material called
"The
100% Nigerian Fat Loss Recipe Cook Book" at this link here
With this cookbook you will be able to eat delicious fat burning
meals to break your fast at pre-dawn and dusk.
Rule
#4 - Avoid The Following Bad Foods
The 100% Nigerian Fat Loss Recipe Cookbook will also help you
avoid all those bad foods that causes you to eat too much and
gain weight such as:
1. Deep fried foods e.g. Deep frying Dodo, Fish,
Chicken, buns, chin chin etc
2. High sugar and high-fat foods e.g. Pastries, Gala,
Eba, Akpu, Coke etc
Instead, cook healthily by grilling, baking, boiling, shallow
frying (use 1 teaspoon olive oil to fry) your meals. These
methods are healthier and helps you retain the taste and flavour
of your meals.
Rule
#5 - Hydrate your body When Your Break Your Fast
Drink a lot of water when you break your fast. Start with just
one glass of water. Drink it slowly before you eat anything
else.
Then all through the night before you
sleep and when you wake up for "pre dawn" meals, drink lots of
water (up to 8 glasses). This will hydrate your body and help
your body's blood circulation.
Rule
#6 - Do Light Exercise/Workout
Do light/moderate exercise. One hour before you break your fast,
you can take a 10 - 20 minutes brisk walking exercise or doing
jumping jacks exercise.
If you prefer to do your workout after you break your fast, this
is also allowed. Just make sure you do it 2 hours after your
meal as you want to ensure your food has digested before working
out.
Try not to do high intensity workouts. If you feel highly
motivated and fit enough, save it till night time where you can
drink all water you want and sweat it out before you sleep.
