Hello Everyone,
Following my previous post about training before fotor, today i will talk generally about training during the holly month of ramadan for a weight loser, since it covers the majority.
Fitness Goals Vs. Ramadan:
A body builder will suffer during ramadan for not eating enough.
A runner (like me) will suffer due to lack of energy (Sometimes).
A weight loser, has all the benefits :). and takes all credits.
Since most of you out there are weight losers and aims at losing weight during ramadan, i decided to write down a mini-program for you that combines all the ‘TaCticS’ that boost your metabolism, and help you lose the most weight possible during the remaining period of the month using scientifically measured approaches.
The program will be based on the fact that our bodies targets fat storage for energy when training on an empty stomach…Sweet ? Well, lets make the best use of it.
Here we go…
- 4:30 PM: Spike your metabolism with a one hour fast walk on an empty stomach. (Storage fat is targeted as the main source of energy).
- 6:30 PM: Fotor: Start with water, dates, and a soup. Then the main dish.
For more info on Nutrition during Ramadan, my other team mates in AYMSTRONG will cover it in depth in their posts. But for now, if you mainly avoid (Fried food, Sweets, Deserts, Butter, Mayonnaise, and use skimmed dairy products) you should be on the safe side as stated by Fitness Expert Bill Phillips ‘Author of best selling book -Body for Life.’
- 7:00 PM: Green tea without sugar + two small pieces of pineapples.
Leave your stomach empty for three hours.
- 10:00 PM: Spike your metabolism once again with a one hour fast walk, or any cardio machine of your choice. (Storage fat is targeted again as the main source of energy
- 11:00 PM: After training snack; Yogurt and a piece of fruit. ‘A banana will do just fine’ or any snack of your choice.
- 12:00 AM: Sohor; Moderate low-carb meal.
Following this program will help you reach an extreme fat burning metabolism twice daily due to working out on an empty stomach. Just dont forget to drink a lot of water during the time allowed to avoid getting dehydrated or any other issues.
What is after Ramadan ? Do not follow this program more often. It is made for weight losers and it should not be applied for more than a month, due to its excessive Cardio, which will lead to muscle loss and therefore a depletion of your overall health.

I have no problem with training. My main problem is with eating, as I mostly eat grilled food for suhoor and not sure if its a major problem.

Eating grilled food for suhoor is fine, if you eat meat, make sure you follow it up with enough water to avoid getting thirsty the next day
