True. It helps burn lotsa calories. Add that to Qiamulail (praying later drg 2/3 of the night before sahur or dawn breakfast). You feel hungry again and ready to eat again by the end of the prayers. It's kinda like going to the gym. 😊
😂😂😂😂 I think the reason why you feel taraweeh prayers are a workout its cause you’ve been stuffing yourself on iftar and then each inch of movement you make feels like you are doing heavy lifts😂 confess😂
*As a practicing Muslim,i appreciate the amount of time and all the input you putted into this Ramadan topic...... the exercise we do during Ramadan is called taraweeh and tahajud prayer which will normally take each an hour for each session of prayer*
Ramadan boosted my growth hormone I retain strength and get lean Unlimited flow energy detoxing organs. Cleansing the soul. All while most importantly drawing closer to the most high. That is the ultimate success. Alhamdulilah for islam.
the growth hormone secretion during fasting is insignificant in volume. fasting is a good practice. but the real benefits of fasting comes through engaging in mindful observation of Ramadan practices, not the adaptive changes here and there, which the body modulates in response to a starving situation. you get more out of Ramadan by choosing to be a good Muslim, which I wish I could have done with real seriousness. and I'm talking about actual physiological benefits, not the main Islamic objective of enhancing your taqwa. the mindful practices does more for your cortisol regulations and managing chronic stress than any feeding practice. we know this scientifically now. but it's great that you're feeling good. hope you continue to feel awesome.
Today is the first day in Ramadan 2022,so i was looking for a video to get the best out of my fasting health wise , and i find yours is the best on RUclips . Thank you so much for this Thomas, have a great day .
Diet: - you don’t need to take any form of electrolytes during a dry fast - 300 - 500 ml of water in hour at maximum - First meal: Break your fast with lean protein, keep it as bland as possible (Fish and poultry recommended) - Second meal(1 hour later): little bit of carbs (maybe a little bit of quinoa, dates teff, some gluten-free starch of some kind) and protein - Third meal (if it's not too late at night): eat fibers (flax, chia, artichoke, asparagus recommended) - Don’t have a whole lot of veggies and a whole lot of fiber prior to starting your fast - consider taking in some cinnamon shortly after breaking fast (you can add it to dates) - what supplements to take: nothing additional to your routine, Coenzyme q10 (for extra metabolic benefit), Magnesium, Algae oil or Fish oil (Omega 3). - after you're done with your 30 days of Ramadan highly recommend to consume a lot of green tea, ginger, turmeric. also implement intermittent fasting a couple days per week so you can be adapted next time Workout: - Get mild workout towards the end of your fast, don’t go at super intense level - focus on time under tension, do slower moves where you're focusing on muscle focusing on toning - if you wanted to do cardio, do cardio upon waking just in a fasted state and then eat something prior to going into your fast so cardio and if you sweat then you may want to consider taking in some electrolytes
So its better to do high intensity on an empty stomach after waking up before eating prior to begin your fast in the very early morning? And at the end of your fasting before breaking fast you can do mild training? I always thought he said its good to do high intensity before ending fasting?
@@arsenalfc7596 I think in the video he recommends strongly not to do any high intensity workouts at all during Ramadan or dry fasting, because your body needs the water it is retaining since you aren't drinking any. Perhaps he has approved high intensity for water fasting.
Highly appreciated. Note that After Ramadan it is Sunnah, Islamic tradition of the prophet to fast an extended 6 days of the new month after eid. As well as every Monday and Thursday of every other month in the year. There are also other days that are sunnah to fast during the course of the year. So it should be easier to continue the benefits after Ramadan. That's for the information, brilliant!
We pray Taraweeh, lengthy night prayer, shortly after breaking fast to gain closeness to Allah. This also benefits digestion and many states of health. Keep learning and growing Thomas. Allah intends good for you.
Narrated Anas ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to break his fast before praying with some fresh dates; but if there were no fresh dates, he had a few dry dates, and if there were no dry dates, he took some mouthfuls of water. [Sunan Abu Dawud 2356] Miqdam bin Madikarib رضي الله عنه said: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: ‘A human being fills no worse vessel than his stomach. It is sufficient for a human being to eat a few mouthfuls to keep his spine straight. But if he must (fill it), then one third of food, one third for drink and one third for air.’” [Sunan Ibn Majah 3349]
Great video! I have been doing intermittent fasting when it's not Ramadan for health reasons. But I think a lot of people gain weight during Ramadan due to cultural reasons rather than religious reasons. Especially in South Asian culture where the breaking of the fast is full of carbs and fried food and the meals are often a social event with family. The Prophet peace be upon him says to eat in moderation, to fill 1/3 of your stomach with solid foods, then the next 2/3rd with liquids, and the other 3rd leave it empty. Many people are not following the prophet's tradition and that's why people become gluttonous during this time. Kudos to you for making this video man!
I am a Muslim. When we break fast at our house we just eat one date and water. After that we pray Maghrib prayer and then eat the main meal. We try to eat a healthy meal and not overeat. Then we have some tea and go to mosque to pray long prayer which is really beneficial physically and emotionally. We feel great after this prayer. Most important thing that makes fasting easier is to have the pre dawn meal. Many people do not feel like eating at that time. But if you do you will not feel weak throughout the day. And it’s really difficult to have too much water at one meal. So best thing to do is to drink water several times from sunset to dawn. Just spread out your water intake. Fasting in Ramadan is amazing and truly beneficial for us in every way.
Thomas, mashallah and thank you for this!! I never thought about how it truly is different from intermittent fasting since it’s a dry fast. Much love and support and blessings to Muslims in Nordic countries - they are looking at some really long fasts of almost 20 hours!! So much longer than here in America, where we're having 15-16ish hour fasts this year
As a muslim I really truly appreciate how much effort you put into making this video with so much detail and valuable information 👏. You are the only one i could find on RUclips that had all the answers to my questions and more !I have learnt so much from your videos. Thank you so much ! May God bless you and your loved ones.

Thanks you Thomas DeLauer for an outstanding guide to how to do our physical eating during Ramadan! As a health fanatic myself, it is so encouraging that you did such a presentation for Muslim people around the world and here in the US! You are a man of respect for other faiths and have created a road map for all of us to get the health benefits of Ramadan fasting!
Great info Thomas, I've been on OMAD almost for 2 years with amazing results. As well im observing Ramadan each year. The tips about cinnamon is more than welcome. Healthy keto meals and excluding pork has been a good choice for me. Dry fasting isn't easy but because I love Ramadan Mubarak im observing with such love and enthusiasm. Thank very much for highlighting the holy month of Ramadan!
It’s been more than 20 year & never missed a single Ramadan without working out… and I’m working out hard af For 45min and I get home 30min before breaking my fas. Yes I can build Muscles & get stronger as it’s Ramadan Now, I’m still doing what I’m doing. Thank God 👌🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for this video Mr. DeLauer. Today is the 14th day of Ramadhan and I'm totally change my way performing it, especially during the iftar or breaking the fast. Nope, no more over intake of carbs and sugars. Just 3 dates and warm unsweetened tea. Plus, on the 10th day of Ramadhan, I've opted to combined dry fast on the day, water fast during the night, and 5km of pace-7 running around an hour before breaking fast. I've never felt so good before, both physically and mentally.
I always look the best after Ramadan. My skin is always smoother and clearer and I also get leaner after the first week of fasting. I try to do intermittent fasting as much as I can to keep the results but it’s never like Ramadan and the benefits it provides Soubhallah. Ramadan Mubarak 2024 to all Muslims in the world.
Thank You, Thomas for your kind efforts. A lot of us Muslims forget about other recommended acts during Ramadan that benefit us both spiritually and physically, like eating as little as possible or at least one third of stomach for food, one third for drinks and one third for air, eating wholesome pure food, and spending part of the night in multiple sets of prayers that include standing, bowing, stretching, prostration and meditation. Overeating at the end of fast is strongly against Islamic teachings and that is the reason why some Muslims gain weight in Ramadan instead of losing. I applaude your suggestion on working out right before breaking fast, we call it the time between asr prayer and maghreb prayer! That is my favorite time to work out, I feel amazing pump when working out in a fasted state right before Maghreb Prayer!
Hey Thomas!! I love your episodes!!! ❤️❤️❤️ You and your team are working so hard to help us all!!! Thanks so much!! Now, you’re advising the Muslims about Ramadan fasting; that’s incredible!! I super appreciate your facts from studies to help us Muslims during our dry fasting. I’m thrilled that dry fasting kicks up the autophagy process. I’ve been doing OMAD with only water in early morning before starting dry fast, which here in Indiana, USA is about 14.5 hours of dry fasting. I will apply several ideas from this episode to improve my fasting results for this Ramadan (2022). Thanks a million, again!!!!!👍🏼🤠
Yay! Another Ramadan video! I like this one, it was concise and is very useful, as a lot of us end up putting on weight in Ramadan. Thank you for all the research!
Exactly what I needed. I'm doing keto and Ramadan fasting. No more hunger. One of the best thing I've ever done. 1 year of keto and going strong. Wish I knew about keto before. Thanks to Thomas, Dr berg, Jason Fung & few other superstars.
Hi Thomas. You are a star for creating this video. You kindly stated at the end to continue with IF 2days a week after Ramadan. Its actually recommended to fast Mon and Thurs weekly and 3days mid-month every month. My nan fasted these additional days for 60yrs of her life. So I've been aware of intermittent fasting for my whole life since 54yrs ago as its part of Islam.
Thomas, you are right on working out just prior to breaking fast…I do that and it feels so good…it’s actually surprising how much energy I still have for a full hour workout after whole day without food and any type of fluids…I am your huge fan and hats off to you for making this video.
Thomas... you are an amazing person to research and educate us on subjects I never even knew about. This opens up my world. You deserve an Award for what your doing.
This is an amazing video that normalizes and gives respect and scientific information on Ramadan fast! I’m not Muslim, but have many dear Muslim friends that I’m so excited to share this with
I really appreciate this video and doing all the detailed research about Ramdan. Being a Muslim, I face a lot of questions regarding how do you live without food and water 😮people start freaking at my work place… it’s really appreciable to do such efforts and providing awareness on fasting during Ramadan.
this is great i hope more Muslims can understand how dry fasting can really heal .. whish is the reason we fast in the first place .. thank you so much Thomas i appreciated you
I found doing a HIIT session two hours after breaking my fast works best for me. I don't perform well doing any workout in a fasted state. This varies from person to person.
Love this information. Thank you Thomas. I love dry fasting and find it to be the most effective and the most superior type of fast. Any type of liquid while fasting, just whets my appetite, so dry fasting which is not consuming any water or liquids for the duration of my fast works wonders for me.
Thanks alot , i think you are The only one who gave us some Time to talk about ramadan dry Fasting. Very helpful to me 💚💚 dry Fasting with low carb diet Is super in weight loss💥💥 thanks again. God bless you 💖
I love how much useful info you put into one short video. Thank you. I always encourage my non-muslim colleagues to try a day of dry fasting as it's not just healthy when you do it right, but it also disciplines you. For example, my cravings for something sweet after every meal have gone
I'm a Muslim. I don't eat before fajr. I just drink water. I fast all day. At 4 pm I do a hr calisthenics/weight strength workout. Then I do a muay thai class. Then a jiu jitsu class. Then I break my fast. Mon-thurs. It's my normal routine year round. I'm not a mma fighter. Just want to be in good shape and learn how to fight. This is my 2nd year doing it. Alhamdulilah I'm doing fine.
Thank you for sharing! This was very informative considering its specific to this type of fast. I appreciate the distinction between this type of dry fast vs intermittent fasting. Awesome information!
Finally something that we Muslims need to hear. As a whole, we are more used to the fast that's taught by our prophet ﷺ, and we don't all know that interimittent fasting is different. Now that you mentioned about 30 days fasting, we also "dry fast" every other days besides the month of Ramadhan. There's the weekly Monday and Thursday fast. There's also the fast of Daud where we dry fast in alternating days, example mon > wed > fri > sun > tue > thu> sat> and so on. I think the diet plan for those fasting days need to be addressed too.
Great video Tom. I'm always at pains to stress the importance of staggering carb intake during the holy month. But you're right - you can capitalise on this month.. my first time on keto was ramadhan 2017, which was life changing.
A lot of fantastic advice. Esp. As I workout regularly and Ramadhan slows me down. However, correct diet plays an important part and compensates for lack of exercise. Protein shakes are a good source as are other macronutrients. Lowering carb intake is an icing on the cake too. Happy Ramadhan everyone!
I appreciate the time you took to make this. I’ve been looking for an update on Ramadan since your last video. Thank you Thomas. This was very helpful 👍🏼
As a Muslim our prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged us to fast twice a week also outside of Ramadan mon and Thursday he said this over 1400yesrs ago he also told us not to eat to much example he said u should leave space for each food water and air so just eat enough to live not live to eat amazing thanks to you sir for making this video appreciate ur time and knowledge
I'm a Moroccan Muslim, thanks a lot for this video it's quit informative, concerning the cinnamon, our ancestors prepared Sfouf or zamita, it contains cinnamon and other beneficial grains and seeds
You are right. We should open fast with date and water and pray Maghrib namaz which roughly takes 4 minutes. Then sit down and have iftar that also you are going to be full in few mins so choose healthier food. Alhamdulliah
Best accurate information on RUclips for all your fasting variants, Keto, intermittent, dry fasting. Thanks heaps Thomas for sharing your unrelenting research, may Allah reward you with his limitless bounties.
I used to watch your videos. But not on Ramadhan fasting. It's my first time watching you talking about it. Very interesting. I already cut down consuming oily or fried foods during breaking the fast. It's almost been 15 days, and it's going great. Because of you, only I somehow incorporate lean meat or protein during the breaking fast. (Although traditionally Muslims used to consume lots oily, saturated fatty, too much sweets and drinks and of course carbs during breaking the fast) But this time, I strongly go how I want to do it, inorder to gain the full benefits from this fast, not only spiritually, but also physically + mentally. You've been a great influencer for me to do it. Thank YOU. another thing I want to mention is that, to be honest in Islam when we break the fast we are normally advised to have 2 dates. Not like dozens of it. (Also it's not MUST. If we can break with one or two dates, it's good, if not it's ok) However, I only have 1 date... Can't do more than that... Most of the times I am breaking the fast with chicken or bone broth, vegetable soup, or boiled eggs. But I want to know more about what are the other food options I can incorporate in my diet. It would be great if you could give more Asian or South Asian food options. Throughout the night anyhow I drink water little by little. Or I take some fruit juice without adding sugar to it... But a pinch of Himalayan salt. Also I add cinnamon sticks to my drinking water the day before and soak it, next day I drink the water. I'm grateful to know that I'm doing something right. Please need more tips and guidance towards to achieve health benefits along without losing muscle mass please. Because my goal is not to lose weight, but to maintain it with more muscle mass ❤
I’m Muslim, one very very important to understand, Muslims just do Ramadan the worst way possible, eating huge meals when it’s dark, sleeping very late, waking up very late, while Ramadan should be eating a lot before sunrise, then stay awake and start your day this way, working out before it gets dark and eat a very small meal, mostly protein, wait like 1hour and then sleep as early as possible Ramadan is amazingly therapeutic, the way Muslims do it these days is completely the opposite of the way god told us to practice it
I wish you uploaded it earlier, we are 1/2 way in! But appreciate it so much, since no one else mentioned it yet, and millions of people fast in Ramadan all over the world. You will get a lot of views on this!! Thank you, And good luck
Shout out to the people who wrote summaries and plan. Great screen shot to have and follow while breaking the fast. And thanks for the video and all the awesome info. If you are doing the work and fasting might as well reap the most benefits out of it for your body! Happy Ramadan to everyone observing it❤

Islam is beautiful and I love the Messenger of God, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Even though I do Intermittent fasting, Ramadan dry fasting makes me actually feel healthier and I don’t understand why . Thank you for your informative videos 👍
Thank you Thomas for bringing Ramadan dry fasting to light! I watched a video of yours last summer on intermittent fasting and wished you did one about dry fasting.. you did a tremendous job digging in the benefits of Ramadan and the science behind dry fasting.
Wow thank you SOOO much for taking the time and researching for us who observe Ramadan!!! I started intermittent fasting 3 months ago and then entered ramadan. I’ve seen more efficient loss this month that my first 3 months. I could not understand if dry fasting suddenly is helping more but your explanation of more intense autophagy now makes total sense. I appreciate all the other tips. I definitely see so many things I’ve been doing backwards including taking electrolyte every morning for the meal before sunrise. Thank you thank you!
Thank you so much for doing the research and making this video for those of us fasting in Ramadan and trying to be healthy and not gain weight. God bless you!
Thank you for posting this video, it really helps during this month of Ramadan for us! At some point would you film about the topic of tiredness and how to best combat this especially when fasting. We generally wake up at night to have something light to eat/drink, and the broken sleep pattern leaves me feeling more tired than usual. Some days I’m fine but i feel broken sleep does affect me. Thank you!
In some countries , it is customary to rest midday while fasting. In my country during 'lunch' break, people who are fasting are allowed to rest or nap instead.
This is pretty amazing. Might be the best and smartest video I’ve watched on the matter. Thank you so much. It just confirms how I feel about Ramadan. Bravo !
I'm a Muslims and I have shared your video with all my friends. It's beneficial and simple, you just made my fasting much easier! Thank you and God bless you!
A lot of people who fast during Ramadan actually go out and exercise right before breaking the fast... even when it's super hot outside like in several Middle Eastern countries... also with regard to having dates as a first food when breaking the fast... the tradition is to have 1, 3, or another odd number... thank you for this video. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for hitting on this for us Muslims. Lot of the old timers say similar. The small portions when breaking fast and the light exercise before breaking fast. My inflammation goes down dramatically during Ramadan.
Two weeks into Ramadan fasting. I feel so much better. More Clear , lighter weight, more spiritual, physically internally and externally better. Happier.

1. 🧂Don't have extra salts/electrolytes especially when breaking fast 1:25
2. 💧Drink small amount [300ml] of water periodically between sunset and dawn 2:15
3. 🌴 Break fast with dates* infused with cinnamon 3:30 & 9:15 [*4:35 preferably have dates with second meal, see #5 below]
4. 🥚For first meal, have lean bland proteins (chicken breast, sardine tin or boiled egg) 4:00
5. 🍚 After (praying Magrib prayers) about an hour, for second meal, eat veggies, molokhiya, rice & curries (i.e. little carbs with more protein)
6. 🐟 If you're still awake (after Tarwih prayers or for the third and final meal, suhoor) eat some satiating fats & omega 3s (e.g. cod liver and its oil) but avoid❌ fibres/veggies this late 8:30
7. 🏃🏼♀️ Go for a jog before dawn (fajr), if you want/need to work out 7:15
8. 🏋🏼♀️ Train just before sunset (magrib), so you can break fast right after working out 5:50
9. 🌿 After Ramadan ends, have lots of green teas, omega 3s (especially if you ate too much samosas, pizzas and Omega 6s) 11:50

- 300 - 500 ml of water in hour at maximum
- First meal: Break your fast with lean protein, keep it as bland as possible (Fish and poultry recommended)
- Second meal(1 hour later): little bit of carbs (maybe a little bit of quinoa, dates teff, some gluten-free starch of some kind) and protein
- Third meal (if it's not too late at night): eat fibers (flax, chia, artichoke, asparagus recommended)
- Don’t have a whole lot of veggies and a whole lot of fiber prior to starting your fast
- consider taking in some cinnamon shortly after breaking fast (you can add it to dates)
- what supplements to take: nothing additional to your routine, Coenzyme q10 (for extra metabolic benefit), Magnesium, Algae oil or Fish oil (Omega 3).
- after you're done with your 30 days of Ramadan highly recommend to consume a lot of green tea, ginger, turmeric. also implement intermittent fasting a couple days per week so you can be adapted next time
Workout:
- Get mild workout towards the end of your fast, don’t go at super intense level
- focus on time under tension, do slower moves where you're focusing on muscle focusing on toning
- if you wanted to do cardio, do cardio upon waking just in a fasted state and then eat something prior to going into your fast so cardio and if you sweat then you may want to consider taking in some electrolytes
So its better to do high intensity on an empty stomach after waking up before eating prior to begin your fast in the very early morning? And at the end of your fasting before breaking fast you can do mild training? I always thought he said its good to do high intensity before ending fasting?
What about the morning meal? What should that be?
@@sirz258 i think fats especially
@@arsenalfc7596 I think in the video he recommends strongly not to do any high intensity workouts at all during Ramadan or dry fasting, because your body needs the water it is retaining since you aren't drinking any.
Perhaps he has approved high intensity for water fasting.
Lol I drink 2l of water in 1hr after fasting
Highly appreciated. Note that After Ramadan it is Sunnah, Islamic tradition of the prophet to fast an extended 6 days of the new month after eid. As well as every Monday and Thursday of every other month in the year. There are also other days that are sunnah to fast during the course of the year. So it should be easier to continue the benefits after Ramadan. That's for the information, brilliant!
We pray Taraweeh, lengthy night prayer, shortly after breaking fast to gain closeness to Allah. This also benefits digestion and many states of health.
Keep learning and growing Thomas. Allah intends good for you.
May Allah Tala make Thomas amongst those who fast for Allah....aameen ya Rab...

Love that he created this video for people who celebrate Ramadhan and dry fast. Thank you so much ☺️
Narrated Anas ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه:
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to break his fast before praying with some fresh dates; but if there were no fresh dates, he had a few dry dates, and if there were no dry dates, he took some mouthfuls of water.
[Sunan Abu Dawud 2356]
Miqdam bin Madikarib رضي الله عنه said:
“I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: ‘A human being fills no worse vessel than his stomach. It is sufficient for a human being to eat a few mouthfuls to keep his spine straight. But if he must (fill it), then one third of food, one third for drink and one third for air.’”
[Sunan Ibn Majah 3349]
Ramadan 2024!!!
Great video! I have been doing intermittent fasting when it's not Ramadan for health reasons. But I think a lot of people gain weight during Ramadan due to cultural reasons rather than religious reasons. Especially in South Asian culture where the breaking of the fast is full of carbs and fried food and the meals are often a social event with family.
The Prophet peace be upon him says to eat in moderation, to fill 1/3 of your stomach with solid foods, then the next 2/3rd with liquids, and the other 3rd leave it empty. Many people are not following the prophet's tradition and that's why people become gluttonous during this time.
Kudos to you for making this video man!
and food ramadan bazaar 😁
I am a Muslim. When we break fast at our house we just eat one date and water. After that we pray Maghrib prayer and then eat the main meal. We try to eat a healthy meal and not overeat. Then we have some tea and go to mosque to pray long prayer which is really beneficial physically and emotionally. We feel great after this prayer. Most important thing that makes fasting easier is to have the pre dawn meal. Many people do not feel like eating at that time. But if you do you will not feel weak throughout the day. And it’s really difficult to have too much water at one meal. So best thing to do is to drink water several times from sunset to dawn. Just spread out your water intake. Fasting in Ramadan is amazing and truly beneficial for us in every way.
Thomas, mashallah and thank you for this!! I never thought about how it truly is different from intermittent fasting since it’s a dry fast. Much love and support and blessings to Muslims in Nordic countries - they are looking at some really long fasts of almost 20 hours!! So much longer than here in America, where we're having 15-16ish hour fasts this year
💗
Wishing all of your strength during Ramadaan. Alhumdulillah
I'm still trying to fast 24h, I only drink water when I wake up, but I don't eat anything except dinner
You're a white woman
Yeah true, and if all they do when they get up for sahor is have some water, then you can add another six or so hours to their fast!
Omg! This was so much needed. We just started Ramadan and I was so looking forward to seeing this video. I usually gain weight after Ramadan
You're a fantastic human being for covering this! Thanks so much from a Malaysian Muslim.
U hav given alot of information regarding dry fast. I really appreciate u. Thanks a lot.
Nak raya dah kitaaaa. Selamat Hari Raya!
Laili nk berkenalan...saya di.kedah
This came at a perfect time, it's the first night of Ramadan, also a lot of us go to the gym around midnight or even 1am
As a muslim I really truly appreciate how much effort you put into making this video with so much detail and valuable information 👏. You are the only one i could find on RUclips that had all the answers to my questions and more !I have learnt so much from your videos. Thank you so much ! May God bless you and your loved ones.
Ramadan fasting is the original fasting that people like thomas and others are copying today. It's nice to see how much islam benefits the world.
Celebrating Ramadan made intermittent fasting easy for me.
I definitely agree! Assalamu alaikum.

Thanks you Thomas DeLauer for an outstanding guide to how to do our physical eating during Ramadan! As a health fanatic myself, it is so encouraging that you did such a presentation for Muslim people around the world and here in the US! You are a man of respect for other faiths and have created a road map for all of us to get the health benefits of Ramadan fasting!
Great info Thomas, I've been on OMAD almost for 2 years with amazing results. As well im observing Ramadan each year. The tips about cinnamon is more than welcome. Healthy keto meals and excluding pork has been a good choice for me. Dry fasting isn't easy but because I love Ramadan Mubarak im observing with such love and enthusiasm. Thank very much for highlighting the holy month of Ramadan!
God bless you in this Ramadan
It’s been more than 20 year & never missed a single Ramadan without working out… and I’m working out hard af For 45min and I get home 30min before breaking my fas. Yes I can build Muscles & get stronger as it’s Ramadan Now, I’m still doing what I’m doing. Thank God 👌🏼🙏🏼
That is an Amazing record .Bravo
Great motivation.
Poor Recovery is what I fear due to consumption of calories lower than tdee and also less sleep
On behalf of all Muslims around the world thank you so much for this video thomas 🙏🙏
non-Muslims can try fasting too together. It's common in my country.
It makes fast interesting to do it with a friend(s) 🤗
Thank you for this video Mr. DeLauer. Today is the 14th day of Ramadhan and I'm totally change my way performing it, especially during the iftar or breaking the fast. Nope, no more over intake of carbs and sugars. Just 3 dates and warm unsweetened tea. Plus, on the 10th day of Ramadhan, I've opted to combined dry fast on the day, water fast during the night, and 5km of pace-7 running around an hour before breaking fast. I've never felt so good before, both physically and mentally.
Thanks from a Muslim fan...your timing is perfect 🥰 !
Lol, 20 days in is perfect timing? Assalamu alaikum sister.
If you're starting Ramadan 3 weeks late it is. 😘
I always look the best after Ramadan. My skin is always smoother and clearer and I also get leaner after the first week of fasting. I try to do intermittent fasting as much as I can to keep the results but it’s never like Ramadan and the benefits it provides Soubhallah. Ramadan Mubarak 2024 to all Muslims in the world.
Thank You, Thomas for your kind efforts. A lot of us Muslims forget about other recommended acts during Ramadan that benefit us both spiritually and physically, like eating as little as possible or at least one third of stomach for food, one third for drinks and one third for air, eating wholesome pure food, and spending part of the night in multiple sets of prayers that include standing, bowing, stretching, prostration and meditation. Overeating at the end of fast is strongly against Islamic teachings and that is the reason why some Muslims gain weight in Ramadan instead of losing. I applaude your suggestion on working out right before breaking fast, we call it the time between asr prayer and maghreb prayer! That is my favorite time to work out, I feel amazing pump when working out in a fasted state right before Maghreb Prayer!
I need to try working out these days
Hey Thomas!! I love your episodes!!! ❤️❤️❤️ You and your team are working so hard to help us all!!! Thanks so much!! Now, you’re advising the Muslims about Ramadan fasting; that’s incredible!! I super appreciate your facts from studies to help us Muslims during our dry fasting. I’m thrilled that dry fasting kicks up the autophagy process. I’ve been doing OMAD with only water in early morning before starting dry fast, which here in Indiana, USA is about 14.5 hours of dry fasting. I will apply several ideas from this episode to improve my fasting results for this Ramadan (2022). Thanks a million, again!!!!!👍🏼🤠
Another great video man! Can always come here to find answers to any questions I may have regarding health and fitness 💪🏽💪🏽
I am in my best shape in Ramadan, I get over craving and I control my appetite.. your video is super informative.. thank you ♥️
Yay! Another Ramadan video! I like this one, it was concise and is very useful, as a lot of us end up putting on weight in Ramadan. Thank you for all the research!
God bless you brother. I was drinking 1 litre of hydrogen rich water to break my Ramadan fast. I will follow your advice on taking the small amounts.
Exactly what I needed. I'm doing keto and Ramadan fasting. No more hunger. One of the best thing I've ever done. 1 year of keto and going strong. Wish I knew about keto before. Thanks to Thomas, Dr berg, Jason Fung & few other superstars.
Why always those names.. There are so many great keto/fasting channels on RUclips, nothing against those though
@@sasino agree. These are most common ones
Hi Thomas.
You are a star for creating this video.
You kindly stated at the end to continue with IF 2days a week after Ramadan.
Its actually recommended to fast Mon and Thurs weekly and 3days mid-month every month.
My nan fasted these additional days for 60yrs of her life. So I've been aware of intermittent fasting for my whole life since 54yrs ago as its part of Islam.
Thanks dude. God bless you.
And Ramadan Mubarak to all of the Muslim followers of this channel.
Ramadan Kareem
ramadan mubarak
Thomas, you are right on working out just prior to breaking fast…I do that and it feels so good…it’s actually surprising how much energy I still have for a full hour workout after whole day without food and any type of fluids…I am your huge fan and hats off to you for making this video.
Wow.. I wish this would have uploaded before the Start of Ramdan. But enjoyed the learning stuff here ❤️
مرحب انا لا افهم الانكليزية ممكن توضحلي المقصود من الفديو ان كنت تتكلم الانكليزية ..مع الشكر لك
Its ok it's never late
Ramzan fasting helped me a lot in my alcohol addiction
one year later
i hope that you are still winning the fight
rooting for you
Thomas... you are an amazing person to research and educate us on subjects I never even knew about. This opens up my world. You deserve an Award for what your doing.
This is an amazing video that normalizes and gives respect and scientific information on Ramadan fast! I’m not Muslim, but have many dear Muslim friends that I’m so excited to share this with
OMG, thank you for this! Ramadan Mubarak!
I really appreciate this video and doing all the detailed research about Ramdan. Being a Muslim, I face a lot of questions regarding how do you live without food and water 😮people start freaking at my work place… it’s really appreciable to do such efforts and providing awareness on fasting during Ramadan.
this is great i hope more Muslims can understand how dry fasting can really heal .. whish is the reason we fast in the first place .. thank you so much Thomas i appreciated you
So smart !! Very well explained . So much sincere care for fasting people!!
I found doing a HIIT session two hours after breaking my fast works best for me. I don't perform well doing any workout in a fasted state. This varies from person to person.
Love this information. Thank you Thomas. I love dry fasting and find it to be the most effective and the most superior type of fast. Any type of liquid while fasting, just whets my appetite, so dry fasting which is not consuming any water or liquids for the duration of my fast works wonders for me.
SUPERB video - really appreciate the fact you went to the trouble of researching Ramadan - much appreciated!
Thanks alot , i think you are The only one who gave us some Time to talk about ramadan dry Fasting. Very helpful to me 💚💚 dry Fasting with low carb diet Is super in weight loss💥💥 thanks again. God bless you 💖
This is the best video on how to really get the best out of Fasting during Ramadan, I salute you Sir on a fantastic and informative video.
Thank yo so MUCH Thomas! MY wife and I watch your videos everyday!
I love how much useful info you put into one short video. Thank you. I always encourage my non-muslim colleagues to try a day of dry fasting as it's not just healthy when you do it right, but it also disciplines you. For example, my cravings for something sweet after every meal have gone
I'm a Muslim. I don't eat before fajr. I just drink water. I fast all day. At 4 pm I do a hr calisthenics/weight strength workout. Then I do a muay thai class. Then a jiu jitsu class. Then I break my fast. Mon-thurs. It's my normal routine year round. I'm not a mma fighter. Just want to be in good shape and learn how to fight. This is my 2nd year doing it. Alhamdulilah I'm doing fine.
Wow
I appreciate you making a video about fasting in Ramadan. How sweet of you❤ Ramadan Mubarak 💐
Thank you for sharing! This was very informative considering its specific to this type of fast. I appreciate the distinction between this type of dry fast vs intermittent fasting. Awesome information!
Finally something that we Muslims need to hear. As a whole, we are more used to the fast that's taught by our prophet ﷺ, and we don't all know that interimittent fasting is different.
Now that you mentioned about 30 days fasting, we also "dry fast" every other days besides the month of Ramadhan. There's the weekly Monday and Thursday fast. There's also the fast of Daud where we dry fast in alternating days, example mon > wed > fri > sun > tue > thu> sat> and so on. I think the diet plan for those fasting days need to be addressed too.
Great video Tom. I'm always at pains to stress the importance of staggering carb intake during the holy month. But you're right - you can capitalise on this month.. my first time on keto was ramadhan 2017, which was life changing.
A lot of fantastic advice. Esp. As I workout regularly and Ramadhan slows me down. However, correct diet plays an important part and compensates for lack of exercise. Protein shakes are a good source as are other macronutrients. Lowering carb intake is an icing on the cake too. Happy Ramadhan everyone!
I appreciate the time you took to make this. I’ve been looking for an update on Ramadan since your last video. Thank you Thomas. This was very helpful 👍🏼
As a Muslim our prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged us to fast twice a week also outside of Ramadan mon and Thursday he said this over 1400yesrs ago he also told us not to eat to much example he said u should leave space for each food water and air so just eat enough to live not live to eat amazing thanks to you sir for making this video appreciate ur time and knowledge
I really appreciate you made this video, as you can see loads of muslims following you and grateful for the tips!
First Day of Ramadan of 2023, this video is exactly what is was looking for! Good luck to others fasting and following this method!
much respect
very few people would take the time to learn about this
thank u
I'm a Moroccan Muslim, thanks a lot for this video it's quit informative, concerning the cinnamon, our ancestors prepared Sfouf or zamita, it contains cinnamon and other beneficial grains and seeds
One of my clients is currently going through her Ramadan fast so this is very informative for me as her trainer. Thanks for the info.
You are right. We should open fast with date and water and pray Maghrib namaz which roughly takes 4 minutes. Then sit down and have iftar that also you are going to be full in few mins so choose healthier food. Alhamdulliah
Best accurate information on RUclips for all your fasting variants, Keto, intermittent, dry fasting. Thanks heaps Thomas for sharing your unrelenting research, may Allah reward you with his limitless bounties.
I used to watch your videos. But not on Ramadhan fasting. It's my first time watching you talking about it. Very interesting.
I already cut down consuming oily or fried foods during breaking the fast. It's almost been 15 days, and it's going great. Because of you, only I somehow incorporate lean meat or protein during the breaking fast. (Although traditionally Muslims used to consume lots oily, saturated fatty, too much sweets and drinks and of course carbs during breaking the fast)
But this time, I strongly go how I want to do it, inorder to gain the full benefits from this fast, not only spiritually, but also physically + mentally. You've been a great influencer for me to do it. Thank YOU.
another thing I want to mention is that, to be honest in Islam when we break the fast we are normally advised to have 2 dates. Not like dozens of it. (Also it's not MUST. If we can break with one or two dates, it's good, if not it's ok)
However, I only have 1 date... Can't do more than that...
Most of the times I am breaking the fast with chicken or bone broth, vegetable soup, or boiled eggs.
But I want to know more about what are the other food options I can incorporate in my diet. It would be great if you could give more Asian or South Asian food options.
Throughout the night anyhow I drink water little by little. Or I take some fruit juice without adding sugar to it... But a pinch of Himalayan salt. Also I add cinnamon sticks to my drinking water the day before and soak it, next day I drink the water. I'm grateful to know that I'm doing something right.
Please need more tips and guidance towards to achieve health benefits along without losing muscle mass please. Because my goal is not to lose weight, but to maintain it with more muscle mass ❤
Thank you! Was waiting for you to make a Ramadan video!
Thomas, Thank you so much for researching Ramadan dry fasting and providing useful, helpful information. Its truly appreciated. You're amazing.
Thank u for this 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Ur the Best. May God Continue to Shower u with blessings.
I’m Muslim, one very very important to understand, Muslims just do Ramadan the worst way possible, eating huge meals when it’s dark, sleeping very late, waking up very late, while Ramadan should be eating a lot before sunrise, then stay awake and start your day this way, working out before it gets dark and eat a very small meal, mostly protein, wait like 1hour and then sleep as early as possible
Ramadan is amazingly therapeutic, the way Muslims do it these days is completely the opposite of the way god told us to practice it
I wish you uploaded it earlier, we are 1/2 way in! But appreciate it so much, since no one else mentioned it yet, and millions of people fast in Ramadan all over the world. You will get a lot of views on this!! Thank you, And good luck

Shout out to the people who wrote summaries and plan. Great screen shot to have and follow while breaking the fast. And thanks for the video and all the awesome info.

Even though I do Intermittent fasting, Ramadan dry fasting makes me actually feel healthier and I don’t understand why .
Thank you for your informative videos 👍
1month before ramadan im start intermitent fasting then ramadan come just roll dry fast so smoothly
Thank you Thomas for bringing Ramadan dry fasting to light! I watched a video of yours last summer on intermittent fasting and wished you did one about dry fasting.. you did a tremendous job digging in the benefits of Ramadan and the science behind dry fasting.
It's starting tomorrow 🌄🌅
Wow thank you SOOO much for taking the time and researching for us who observe Ramadan!!! I started intermittent fasting 3 months ago and then entered ramadan. I’ve seen more efficient loss this month that my first 3 months. I could not understand if dry fasting suddenly is helping more but your explanation of more intense autophagy now makes total sense. I appreciate all the other tips. I definitely see so many things I’ve been doing backwards including taking electrolyte every morning for the meal before sunrise. Thank you thank you!
Big thanks Thomas ...most needed..plus absolutely informative ..
Thank you so much for doing the research and making this video for those of us fasting in Ramadan and trying to be healthy and not gain weight. God bless you!
Thank you for posting this video, it really helps during this month of Ramadan for us! At some point would you film about the topic of tiredness and how to best combat this especially when fasting. We generally wake up at night to have something light to eat/drink, and the broken sleep pattern leaves me feeling more tired than usual. Some days I’m fine but i feel broken sleep does affect me. Thank you!
In some countries , it is customary to rest midday while fasting. In my country during 'lunch' break, people who are fasting are allowed to rest or nap instead.
This is pretty amazing. Might be the best and smartest video I’ve watched on the matter. Thank you so much. It just confirms how I feel about Ramadan. Bravo !
Wow as a Muslim I am surprised you made this video, thank you!
I'm a Muslims and I have shared your video with all my friends. It's beneficial and simple, you just made my fasting much easier! Thank you and God bless you!
A lot of people who fast during Ramadan actually go out and exercise right before breaking the fast... even when it's super hot outside like in several Middle Eastern countries... also with regard to having dates as a first food when breaking the fast... the tradition is to have 1, 3, or another odd number... thank you for this video. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Also many ppl will go walking after magrib prayer. Especially here in the middle East.
@Dr. Kawthar Hameed Ed.D yes true... and go to the gym also... in Ramadan gyms are full..
Appreciate it Thomas I really needed this!
Thanks for hitting on this for us Muslims. Lot of the old timers say similar. The small portions when breaking fast and the light exercise before breaking fast. My inflammation goes down dramatically during Ramadan.
Old timers know best.
Two weeks into Ramadan fasting.
I feel so much better. More Clear , lighter weight, more spiritual, physically internally and externally better.
Happier.
