It accelerates the rate of metabolism, contrary to how the body reacts normally, when we skip a meal. When you restricts your stomach to work on a certain time, it shrinks your stomach and makes it work for long time without food. With this training you will normalize your stomach in a better way all along the year. Do the same with your whole body parts. Losing weight in ramadan is all about steadiness. That means not giving up the foods you desire and love, but instead, finding healthy alternatives for your go-to indulgences.

If chocolate is your love, opt for low-carb chocolate snack bars. A dark chocolate, no-sugar-added chocolate bar will be also good.
