Anyone know how to create a social group on this site?

Also what's a typical Ramadan day for y'all? Share your experiences.

@Cold Blooded @Kotal Kahn @DIMES @SCORCH @Ria_21 @RawlDough

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!

I used to play basketball while fasting and it was fine I was dehydrated but your body can survive easily just know your limits and dont over exert yourself

your post reminded me of another GOAT. Brother Hakeem Olajuwon.

He used to play in the NBA while fasting

and he played better!!!! :salute:

:blessed:

I just graduated uni so I'm free this Ramadan.

Gonna obviously be more committed to my prayers and more importantly on time. Gonna be reading a lot of Qur'an and general Islam stuff throughout the day. Watch some prison break haha. Watch whatever sports are on etc.

I'm gonna take your gym plan I found it worked for me last year. Work out just prior to breaking fast.

Live near a nice park. Gonna do the calisthenics 30 min workout every alternate day and then come home and break fast. Spend some time with friends/family in the evening. Eat suhoor. Rinse and repeat.

Bananas are high in potassium. A banana at Suhoor time can control your thirst level through out the day.

Best sources of potassium for Suhoor time:

- bananas

- milk

- dates

- avocados

- dried peaches

- pistachios

- pumpkin

- peas

- dark chocolate

Worst choices for Suhoor:

- biryani

- kebab

- pizza

- fast food in general

- cheese

- haleem

:yes:

I haven't fasted in a few years but it's nice to see this thread actually working and not getting derailed by foolishness.

I'm going to start working out again + the sun is up til like 9pm so it's impractical. But respect to those who will endure it this year. I'll wait until it shifts to an earlier sunset and jump back on board.
