How to lose weight in Ramadan

However, as long as you are following a healthy balanced diet throughout the special period, continue to exercise and provide your body with the fuel it needs, you can absolutely shed some unwanted fat and finish the month feeling like a new and improved person.

In order to lose weight safely during Ramadan, it’s best to consult the advice of a qualified personal trainer to make sure you are eating and working out in a way that’s right for your body.

Below, we go into more detail about how you can lose weight and get fitter, stronger and healthier during Ramadan.

Is there any effective plan to lose weight during Ramadan?

As with any month of the year, it would be very difficult to totally transform your body in roughly four weeks. However, if you put the effort in and follow a proper fitness and diet plan, you can lose weight during Ramadan.

Hiring a personal trainer or weight loss coach is one easy way of making sure you stay on track during the special period. They will tell you how many calories you should be eating, including the exact amount of protein, carbs, and fat that should be in your meals at iftar and suhur. A personal trainer will also ensure that your workouts are safe and effective, and that you don’t overload or exhaust your body whilst fasting. Finally, they will keep you accountable and motivate you to turn up for your workouts when you might be tempted to take the whole of Ramadan off from the gym.
