Late Sehri or Skipped Sehri β Whatβs Your Habit?
Letβs be honest. When it comes to sehri, most people fall into one of two categories: 1οΈβ£ Wake up very late, eat quickly, and go back to sleep. 2οΈβ£ Skip sehri completely because βIβm not hungry.β Which one are you? This one habit alone can decide your: Energy during the fast Cravings at iftar Mood stability Fat gain or fat control Ability to focus in ibadah And yetβ¦ itβs the most ignored meal of Ramzan. β Skipping Sehri: What Really Happens Many people think: βIf I skip sehri, Iβll lose more weight.β But what actually happens? Your body: Starts the fast already under-fueled Experiences stronger energy dips Triggers higher stress hormones Increases cravings at iftar Makes overeating more likely By maghrib, youβre not just hungry β youβre desperate. And desperation never leads to balanced decisions. β Very Late, Heavy Sehri On the other sideβ¦ You wake up 10 minutes before Fajr. Eat whatever is easiest. Maybe something heavy. Maybe sugary tea. Maybe leftovers. Then immediately lie down again. Now digestion is poor. Sleep quality drops. You wake up groggy. And by midday, energy crashes. It feels like fasting is harder than it should be. β
What Sehri Is Supposed to Do Sehri is not just a ritual. It is: A metabolic anchor An energy stabilizer A hunger regulator A performance booster A balanced sehri helps: Control cravings at iftar Maintain steady energy Reduce headaches Prevent overeating Support fat loss instead of fat gain Ramzan feels lighter when sehri is structured. Ask Yourself Honestly Do I treat sehri intentionally or casually? Am I fueling for stability or just βgetting byβ? Do I wake up early enough to eat calmly? Or do I rush and regret it later? Ramzan without proper sehri turns into survival mode. Ramzan with structured sehri feels controlled and balanced. π¬ Be honest: Are you team βlate sehriβ or team βskip sehriβ? And how does it affect your energy during the day?
