Here's How You Can Lose Weight With These Exercises And A Healthy Diet

A new diet trend is sweeping Dubai and could be the most successful program to date. Weight loss generally occurs when the body expends more calories than it takes in. That means, you have to burn off or eat fewer calories that you consume through meals and snacks. Many people cut calories from their diet and burn calories through exercise to achieve weight loss. Working out on a regular basis is helpful for weight loss, but may not be practical for some people due to health conditions, time restraints, or lack of interest. However, research shows that when it comes to weight loss, diet plays a much more important role compared to exercise. 1 It's easier to decrease caloric intake by modifying your diet compared to burning off a significant amount of calories through exercise. Making a few changes to your diet and lifestyle can help you lose weight safely and effectively without planned exercise.

As far as I am aware athletes are able to obtain a special exemption from their local Imam to postpone the Ramadan fast so they can maintain their habitual eating patterns at important times during competition. Although I know that most Muslim athletes prefer not to go down that route and as I mentioned before many have developed their own individual coping strategies that prevent large decrements in performance, allowing them to maintain 'elite' levels.
