Ramadan is a period of self-discipline, fasting, and introspection. It’s also an opportunity to reset your eating habits and achieve healthy weight loss with the guidance of a professional nutritionist. At IMC Hospital, our expert nutritionists in Lahore help you maintain your health, manage weight, and stay energized throughout Ramadan without compromising your fasting rituals.

Why Weight Management Is Important During Ramadan

While fasting can naturally reduce calorie intake, many people gain weight instead of losing it due to:

  • Overeating during Iftar
  • Consuming high-calorie fried foods and sweets
  • Skipping Suhoor, which slows metabolism
  • Lack of balanced nutrients

Proper guidance from a nutritionist ensures you lose weight safely, maintain energy levels, and support overall health during the holy month.

Top Nutrition Tips for Weight Loss in Ramadan

1. Eat a Balanced Suhoor

Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal that fuels your day. Focus on:

  • Complex carbohydrates: Oats, whole grains, brown bread
  • Protein sources: Eggs, yogurt, nuts
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration

2. Smart Iftar Choices

Break your fast with care:

  • Start with dates and water – a traditional and healthy choice
  • Include vegetables and lean proteins like chicken, fish, or lentils
  • Avoid excessive fried foods and sugary drinks

3. Portion Control

Even healthy foods can cause weight gain if eaten in large quantities. Try smaller, nutrient-rich meals spread between Iftar and Suhoor.

4. Stay Hydrated

Metabolism can be slowed by dehydration. Between Iftar and Suhoor, sip eight to ten glasses of water. Steer clear of sugary drinks and too much coffee.

5. Include Physical Activity

Light exercise such as walking, stretching, or yoga after Iftar can help burn calories and boost metabolism without affecting your fast.

6. Avoid Late-Night Snacking

Eating late at night can prevent weight loss and disturb sleep. Stick to balanced meals and drink water if hungry before bed.

At IMC Hospital, our nutritionists provide tailored weight loss programs for Ramadan, combining healthy meal planning, portion control, and lifestyle guidance.
