The final stretch of Ramadan is a great opportunity to focus on fat loss while maintaining energy levels for worship and daily tasks. With just two weeks left, small tweaks to your eating and activity habits can help you shed excess weight without feeling weak or drained. Here&rsquo;s how to make the most of it:

1. Shift Your Suhoor for Fat Loss
&nbsp;
Suhoor isn&rsquo;t just about staying full&mdash;it&rsquo;s about fueling your body efficiently. To maximize fat burning:
&bull; Stick to high-protein, fiber-rich foods like eggs, Greek yogurt, oats, and whole grains to keep you full longer.
&bull; Limit processed carbs and sugars, which cause energy crashes and cravings later in the day.
&bull; Stay hydrated with plenty of water and hydrating foods like cucumbers and watermelon to prevent dehydration-induced hunger.
&nbsp;
2. Control Portions at Iftar
&nbsp;
The biggest mistake? Overeating after a long fast, which leads to fat storage instead of fat burning. Instead:
&bull; Start with water and 1-2 dates, then wait 10 minutes before eating to avoid rushing into a large meal.
&bull; Fill half your plate with vegetables, a quarter with lean protein (chicken, fish, beans), and a quarter with complex carbs (brown rice, whole wheat bread).
&bull; Avoid fried and heavy foods, which slow digestion and lead to weight gain.
&nbsp;
3. Time Your Workouts for Maximum Fat Burn
&nbsp;
The last 15 days are crucial for weight loss, and the best time to work out is:
&bull; Before Iftar for a short, light workout to burn stored fat.
&bull; 1-2 hours after Iftar for strength training or higher-intensity workouts when your body has energy.
&bull; After Taraweeh prayers if you prefer a nighttime routine, go for a walk or do bodyweight exercises.
&nbsp;
4. Cut Late-Night Snacking
&nbsp;
Midnight cravings can sabotage weight loss. If you need a snack:
&bull; Opt for a handful of nuts, Greek yogurt, or a fruit instead of sweets and fried snacks.
&bull; Drink herbal tea or water to curb cravings and keep digestion on track.
&nbsp;
5. Improve Sleep to Boost Metabolism
&nbsp;
Lack of sleep slows fat loss, so prioritize at least 6-8 hours of rest. Try to nap during the day if needed and avoid eating too close to bedtime to allow proper digestion.
With just two weeks left, focusing on portion control, strategic workouts, and mindful eating can help you shed weight while staying strong. Ramadan is a time for discipline&mdash;apply that same mindset to your nutrition and fitness, and you&rsquo;ll see results by Eid!
