Note that I didnt eat or DRINK ANYTHING today! Not EVEN water!

So .. here is my question I want answered please:

- Do you think Im going To Gain Weight?

Be Honest! Thank You. Have A Great Day! Bye. ♥

Answer 1

Some (not all) muslims do gain weight when fasting only because during iftar time, they eat MORE than they normally would.

What you need to ask yourself is, would you eat that amount any other day?

Of course food and water isn't allowed, but during ramadan people try to stop themselves from feeling hungry meaning the body isn't begging for vitamins etc.

Therefore if you eat alot after you open your fast, then you will gain weight.

If instead though you eat the SAME AMOUNT you would eat any other day for one meal, then you are fine.

Don't give in to huge spreads of food just because you 'think' you should do. ESPECIALLY the deserts. I suggest not having any desert or just a small one.

Hope I have helped. Ramadan mubarak

Answer 2

if this is just for one day then you shouldnt gain any weight. Drink water or else you will be dehydrated....Im pretty sure that water is allowed in the religious fasting right? Anyways Have water instead of hawain punch and pick only ONE dessert. You'll be fine!♥
