Increasing Weight During Ramadan

Increasing Weight During Ramadan

Question:

How can I increase my weight during Ramadan, or at least maintain the same weight, because I am very skinny?
Answer:
Assalaamu ‘Alaykum dear sister Maha.
I hope that you are not skinny due to a physical problem, like being diabetic for example. This does not seem to be the case from the way you stated your question.
Therefore, I advise you to consume more of the types of food that result in an increase in one’s weight. Make sure that your meals include more calories than your body needs.
Your food must include more of the following:
  • Nuts
  • Dried fig
  • Dates
  • Sesame
  • Fenugreek
  • Anise
  • Honey
  • Bananas
  • Fresh fruit juice
  • Full fat milk
  • Rice
  • Wheat
  • Barley
  • Oats
  • French fries
  • Carbohydrates
Your must stay away from anything that could result in emotional and psychological disorders and make sure you recite the Quran more often, because it is a cure in itself, and gives tranquility and peace of mind.
