What Does Your Ramzan Routine Usually Look Like After Iftar?
Letโs 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 iftarโฆ what usually happens? Do you: Eat quickly because youโre starving? Go back for second and third servings? Keep snacking until sleep? Sit down โfor 5 minutesโ and never move again? Feel too heavy to pray comfortably? Tell yourself youโll walkโฆ but donโt? This is not judgment. This is awareness. Because most Ramzan weight gain, bloating, low energy, and poor sleep donโt 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 โ Overeat โ Feel heavy โ Sleep late โ Wake tired โ Repeat. Why Structure Matters After Iftar Ramzan is not just about abstaining. Itโs about discipline and balance. If thereโs no plan after iftar, it turns into: โLetโs just see what happens.โ And โletโs just seeโ 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 satisfiedโฆ 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 youโre intentional after maghrib. ๐ฌ Be honest in the comments: What does your usual post-iftar routine actually look like? No perfection needed. Just honesty.
