Hi. My name is Imran and i will be fasting for the month of Ramadahan and if people don't know what this is, it is a month in Islam where i fast for the whole month. I eat early in the morning and just as soon as sunset and thats it. I can not stop doing this because it is in my religion so i am just askin is there anyone who has any advice for me to help this reduce the effect this fast will have on my metabolism. People have told me that if you fast your body goes in to starvation mode and your metabolism goes very slow. So is there anyway i can reduce the affect, or if not something that will help me quickly get back to a fast metabolsim. Thanks any advice or comments will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hmm maybe you'll be interested in eating a lot of fiber so you can slowly get rid of it...I don't know though, the others should be able to help you with this one. Good luck.
 
You're pretty much screwed. You won't be able to take in enough calories to maintain muscle mass, so expect ot lose lean mass, as well as some fat.

If it was only a calorie thing you could save the muscle, but since you're talking about nearly 11 hours without any food, you're going to be living in a catabolic state.
 
so you are going to just put you're body through hell ?
goodbye muscles, goodbye proper functionality of brain...
hello dangerous side effects...

poor body ... but if its something important to you, in which you have to do, then good luck.
this message is in no way insulting you're religion, just my views on the 'fasting'.

+1 lol. get the nighttime protein shakes, and DRINK UP (whenever you can eat, drink this!)!!! that will help as much as possible.

No... You better hope your body goes into 'starvation' mode so you don't kill yourself. Your metabolism will slow down, you will loose muscle, and your body will become weaker; such as your immune system.
 
thanks for all your advice i will try to follow it as much as well. Thanks
