Ramadan is a great month to give back and share food. Sharing your meals automatically cuts your calories in half. So start sharing “Iftar”, desserts, and “Sohoor”.

Portion control is crucial to maintain your waist size. When hunger takes over, it is difficult to restrain yourself from overeating. Make sure you leave the table when you are no longer hungry, not when you are full. Furthermore, split your plate into 4 portions, where the bigger one goes to vegetables, grains, proteins, and later on have fruits.

Part of a healthy “Iftar” meal is having proteins. Go for grilled options and lean meat with minimal fats. Red meat takes more time to digest thus, poultry and fish are better options for easier digestion.
