From what I've experienced, it's all in the Suhoor (the meal prior to starting the fast).

Stay away from excessively sugary or salty foods as they only make you thirsty. Foods like yogurt, avocados, beans and leafy vegetables are all great. Don't worry too much about chugging a bunch of water; there's only so much you can hold. It's easier to stay away from foods that will dehydrate you. Hide from the sun as much as you can, if possible. Water retention is the most important thing.

I'm hoping to shift my gym schedule to the last hour of the day before breaking my fast. I know it seems crazy, but you'd be surprised. Get there, do your workout, and when it's time break your fast with some water and a protein bar or something.

If anyone has anything to add regarding diet, routines, etc., please share!

Great advice!!! For suhoor this morning I had a couple of dates drank a whole bottle of water and had some cereal lol

My mom went to Saudi Arabia alone (which is unheard of) for the entire month of Ramadan last year and she loved it.

They had air conditioning outside.

LOL it must be nice to fast in a Muslim country

I threw up this morning and my stomach has been in pain ever since. Probably not going to start today

It's amazing. The whole atmosphere. For me personally I got family there so it sweetens the deal. It's all geared towards Ramadan, different to the UK or Europe/US generally-speaking.

But I'm used to both.

Being non muslim, would yall be offended if I greeted you with as-salamu alaikum?

It's easier for me to say then marhabaan in Morocco

Oh man I'm so jealous I only ever feel like it's "Ramadan" when I'm at home or at the mosque

No one will be offended by that. By all means, use it if you wish.
