its currently ramadon and that means fasting, from sunset to sunrise, my question is is there any way to make it work? maintain muscle mass any tips?/:wutyousay:
I'm not Muslim, but in grade 9 and 10 I fasted during Ramadan for a bet. I held up all the rules that you must follow and won myself $100. Try and eat A LOT in the morning is all I can say. I had to wake up extra early just to eat and I ate like 1lb or more just in the morning. I lost prob 1lb every day during football because I wasn't eating or drinking, but swishing water around your mouth and spitting it out does help with cravings though. You can maintain muscle by working out the same as you have been, but it's just harder to work out. 45% of my school is muslim arabs and it's a catholic school, but almost all the rabs that work out asked me what I did.
It's plain and simple, eat like a pig when you can and you'll maintain weight and muscle.
Try working out at night or really early in the morning if you can manage it. You'll sleep better if you do and you can still eat whatever you want.![]()
