What Does Your Ramzan Routine Usually Look Like After Iftar?
Let’s talk about the part nobody plans properly.
Everyone prepares for the fast.
Very few prepare for what happens after maghrib.
So be honest with yourself:
After iftar… what usually happens?
Do you:
Eat quickly because you’re starving?
Go back for second and third servings?
Keep snacking until sleep?
Sit down “for 5 minutes” and never move again?
Feel too heavy to pray comfortably?
Tell yourself you’ll walk… but don’t?
This is not judgment.
This is awareness.
Because most Ramzan weight gain, bloating, low energy, and poor sleep don’t happen during the fast.
They happen between iftar and sleep.
What Usually Goes Wrong
After fasting all day, your body is:
Dehydrated
Low on blood sugar
Sensitive to large meals
So when you suddenly overload it with:
Fried food
Large portions
Sugary drinks
Continuous grazing
Your system goes into shock mode.
Blood sugar spikes.
Energy rises briefly.
Then comes the crash.
And instead of feeling light for taraweeh, you feel heavy. Sluggish. Sleepy.
This becomes a cycle: Fast → Overeat → Feel heavy → Sleep late → Wake tired → Repeat.
Why Structure Matters After Iftar
Ramzan is not just about abstaining.
It’s about discipline and balance.
If there’s no plan after iftar, it turns into: “Let’s just see what happens.”
And “let’s just see” often turns into:
Random eating
No movement
Poor digestion
Interrupted sleep
Your body loves rhythm.
Even in Ramzan.
Especially in Ramzan.
Ask Yourself Honestly
Do I break my fast slowly or aggressively?
Do I eat until satisfied… or until uncomfortable?
Do I move after iftar?
Do I have a cut-off time for food?
Do I plan my evening or just react?
Ramzan does not have to mean chaos.
It can mean control. It can mean lightness. It can mean energy.
But only if you’re intentional after maghrib.
