Getting Fatter in Ramadan?
June 15, 2015
Ramadan is the most awaited month for all Muslims to win the full blessings and mercy of the good Lord. During fasting, a person is required to endure hunger and thirst for more than fourteen hours. After thirty days of fasting, usually someone will get leaner and healthier, but in reality there are many of us who actually get bigger at the end of the fasting month. How can that be?
When fasting, someone would unconsciously reduce their physical activity, although the portion of food that they consume will remain the same as when they are still active. The ‘formula’ of obesity is when the food intake is more than the food that is burned into energy. This is the reason why the numbers of the scale continue to soar upward, you choose to sleep longer and rarely perform any activities while you keep eating the food on ‘revenge’ mode. As a result, the fat in your body will not go anywhere and even increased due to lack of physical activity.
The kind of food that you eat also affect the number you see on the scale. Sweets, food cooked with coconut milk, deep-fried food, or food with high fat content is easy to find during the break fast hours. Let’s just be honest, who does not tempted by a plate of lamb satay, mixed shaved ice dessert, or Padang food when Maghrib prayer comes? This Ramadan, let’s declare war on old and bad ‘tradition’ and replace it with a new and positive one.
