How am I putting on weight during Ramadan?

did you by chance go to lady-pool primary school??

Can't do that until I'm on my time of the month. But until then I'll try to lift heavier weights like you suggested.

lol no. I'm a university student.

I feel the need to say now, i was being anecdotal in the sense your workouts might need to increase in intensity, maybe book a session with a PT & nutritionist before doing anything too drastic

did**. nvm your name was a peer in my school like 10 years ago

Wouldn't you naturally burn it off throughout the day anyway? Especially if it's 1200 calories. Everyone has a certain number of calories their body burns throughout the day. That would at least help me maintain the weight I was on instead of gaining a pound right?

No. When you starve your body it goes into survival mode. I find this if I want to lose weight quickly.

As a health professional I would tell you that Ramadan is really bad idea and very unhealthy. But I am not from your religion

Actually many doctors and nutritionists say that Ramadan is a very healthy thing. Fasting has benefits on overall life and cognitive capacities. It's people that over or under-eat and eat really unhealthy, fried food that make it a very bad.

As a health professional you obviously don't know anything about your profession. Look up fasting, your whole idea of "body goes into survival mode" is old and outdated. Your body doesn't go into survival mode unless you're dangerously skinny to begin with. You sure you're a health professional?

The problem is many Muslims don't really fast. They just skip food during the day then gorge themselves in the evening. It's one of the reasons why obesity rates are higher in many Muslim countries than in Western countries.

From last time I checked USA had the highest rates of obese people, then Austrailia, and then the UK. Can you provide me statistics to prove you're correct because this is new to me?

I agree. A lot of Muslims if not most stuff their faces during Iftaar. But I'm not too sure about Muslim countries having higher obese rates in general
