I used to be a kid that loved sweets but my smart Dad indulged us with tons of sweets during Eid to make us sick of it
to the point that we begged for healthy vegetables instead
Basically "Sure I'll buy you sweets" Troll face
haha
It's the sugary vimto here. Too much is consumed.

Found this on Twitter: Ramadan preparations around the world

Gotcha. Drinking excessive amounts of water makes me want to throw up so I guess I'll eat food here and there. I rarely ever feel like eating when I wake up.

yeah I know a bunch of people who love drinking that
you basically don't see the drink all year long until Ramadan
it is the Eggnog of some Muslims
indeed you feel it run down your body when parched
Ramadan Mubarak, everyone. I am unable to fast due to health-related reasons, but I always use this time to reflect on the important things in life and enjoy my time with my family. Ramadan doesn't start off very well for me this year as I have the most important exam of my life tomorrow. :/
Drink of the season.
Water also tastes real good when you've been thristy all day
! كل عام وانتم بخير
This is the first time in years since I had final exams in Ramadan, and they are in the morning too, usually they would delay it until evening, but my university is only delaying finals that originally were dated in the afternoon this year.
God help me

Cant wait to indulge in Bangladeshi style Balushai and then hate myself for it after every ifter
One day I will own a wine cellar stocked entirely with Vimto.

This is the problem for almost everyone. Food consumption is greater than every other month looking at how crowded supermarkets gets and food sales which should be the opposite.
Anyway, hopefully prayers and all your dreams come true inshallah
good luck! كل عام وانتم بخير

Ramadan kareem everyone! May Allah accept our fasting.
Let's see if I manage to lose a bit of weight this year again. I think I need to cut down on my Harira intake, but it's just tooo damn tasty!

Thanks man! I'm totally unprepared right now so the first few days will be more difficult. Hopefully I can acquire the ingredients this week for some of the meal ideas in this thread so I can 1) fast safely and comfortably as possible and 2) maintain or lose weight.

Man 4 glasses of water means no place for food :lol
I understand that sounds counter intuitive. You're not gonna eat or drink for 18 hours so your brain tells you to load up on a big steak dinner instead of drinking water and filling yourselves up. Its hard to resist!
Hard mode is EST timezones. Sweden is CRUSHING mode. Good luck to you guys especially in Europ!

Ramadan Mubarak.
I have this issue, so I just fill a 2l bottle and drink it in the 5 and a half hours I have (in the UK) and dirnk some fruit juice whne I eat breakfast/sehri.
Vimto is great as well as stated already lol.
I gain or lose weight.It depends how much energy I have, I've had holidays due to uni (this is the last year ;_ so it's much easier to just play games& pray all day.
:O what is that, I have some bengali friends but they've never mentioned it lol.
Good luck man , get well soon.

Ramadan Kareem everyone! InshaAllah,
fasting goes well for everyone and you all have blessed months.
Does anyone have advice for making the best out of Ramadan for those who can't fast? I know Ramadhan is more than just fasting, but fasting has always made me feel connected in a way.
Also great title

Nope, just water but at least I get to drink it during the day too.
I'll be taking a multivitamin supplement. Not looking forward to this at all.

Ramadan mubarak all.
Hoping this year makes Fajr a permanent inclusion to my life (it's the one I usually miss outside of ramadan, sad to say).

We always get these announcements around 5pm -2 hours before sunset. No prizes for guessing where in the world is Magrib at at around 5pmBST(GMT+1).
Mecca, Saudi Arabia

yes, food is not neccesary but water is holy
A revered and spiritual month for Muslims meant for getting closer to god by dedicating yourself to acting, reading the Quran, etc. Not that it's what happens with most, but that's the goal.
It's not just that people eat a lot, it's that they eat a lot at once and do almost nothing all day, or at least that's how it is where I live
1. It's a pillar of Islam, similar to a commandment.
2. The Qur'an was first revealed during the month of Ramadan.
3. The Night of Power (Laylat al Qadr) is during this month. It occurs during the last 10 odd days of Ramadan, and is when the first verses of the Qur'an (read above) were sent down.
4. The gates of heaven are open & Hell closed/demons shackled, what have you.
5. Atone for the sins of the past year through fasting. ¯_(ツ
Have a look at last years OP for more right here.
Thanks for the answers!

Hahaha no, do it.
If anything they might be glad you made them laugh though fasting. It'll get get hard for most of us, a little laughter will help the, get through it easier.
I'm moving back home from Umea actually in 3 days, Kiruna is even more sunlight good luck!
Excuse my ignorance as I am not a Muslim. But reading this "As a secondary goal, fasting is a way of experiencing hunger and developing sympathy for the less fortunate, and learning to thankfulness and appreciation for all of God's bounties. Fasting is also beneficial to the health and provides a break in the cycle of rigid habits or overindulgence. " begs me the question how can you gain weight if you are supposed to eat little? Doesn't make sense to me. Any explanation??? Because you said some gain and some lose weight.
Some people can go overboard when ending their fast after sunset; they gorge themselves.
I've noticed this especially among some South Asian Muslim friends here in Canada, where the types of food they eat after ending their fast is often deep-fried and/or rather oily.
Used to live in Umea
Moved away to the southern parts and it's way better here now
If you can call 20hrs+ good
