• Your healthy and ideal weight is not "size 0". Therefore, find out what your ideal weight is for your body type by getting help from a dietician. Because diet
varies according to everyone's eating habits, health status, body size and lifestyle
(diets obtained by photocopying through friends are of no use).
• It takes long hours. At the end of fasting, your body slows down its metabolism, that is, it starts to spend energy sparingly
and at the end of fasting, you eat faster and more. This causes your body, which consumes little energy
to be stored more fat if you suddenly load it. This result explains very well why people who fast
gain weight.
CAN WE DIET WHILE FASTING? I can almost hear you say... No, diet means
ensuring that the person gets the energy he/she needs specifically from foods in a balanced way. It does not mean that you should stop eating or drinking.
• Happy Ramadan to everyone...
• The month of Ramadan, the sultan of 11 months, has come again and we have those beautiful nights of conversation...
• During Ramadan, our body is accustomed to a nutrition cycle. We are suddenly switching to a different lifestyle
so those who are on medication or have chronic illnesses should definitely consult their doctor.
• Considering the hot summer days for sahur, we should make our choices for foods with high water content, which will minimize our thirst throughout the day
Examples of these are; such as tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, watermelons,
peaches, apples, dates, fish varieties, chicken, fresh apricots, vegetables, home-made yoghurt.
• Choosing foods with high glycemic load for sahur may cause sudden low blood sugar throughout the day It also causes you to experience sudden hunger attacks, so try to choose foods with low glycemic load, for example; brown rice, whole wheat pasta, bulgur,
tomatoes, eggs, -- barley, oats, just that� such as wheat flour, rye bread, milk, grain soups (low fat), carrot. • Do not try to eat suddenly at iftar. After breaking your fast with 1 glass of water, have 1 bowl of soup and then 15-20 minutes. Then go to dinner. Otherwise, problems with your stomach and intestinal movements will be inevitable. Do not prefer excessively fatty foods such as processed products such as sausage, extremely hot or cold foods, acidic drinks, and roasted foods. >, preferring bulgur pilaf or dried legumes instead of rice pilaf, and focusing on the consumption of vegetables and fruits will prevent constipation problems that may occur during this period. Consuming enough water is also extremely important to avoid constipation problems.
• Again, it is appropriate to continue with a low-fat meat dish, a vegetable dish (do not overcook your vegetable dish, if you are boiling it, do not add enough water to excess and spill) or a salad at iftar. As cooking methods, choose water-steam-grill-baked.
• Iftar, instead of deep-fried desserts with lots of sherbet, such as palace lokma and tel kadayıf, try 1-
2 milk desserts (pudding) a week. , rice pudding, pudding, ice cream, etc.) or fruit desserts without added sugar
should be consumed. Care should be taken to eat desserts and fruits 1.5-2 hours after the meal.
• 45-60 minutes after iftar. Afterwards, short-distance walks at a light pace will not only help you balance your weight
but also will prevent your metabolic rate from falling and increase intestinal motility and will also ensure better digestion of the food you eat.
Have a Ramadan month with lots of fun and conversation. We wish you a happy Ramadan...
